Good Cable Brands?
« on: Sat, 28 September 2019, 09:30:44 »
Hi, Im looking for a good cable that i can buy offline. I would like it to be USB-C male to USB-A male. I am wondering about customs as well as ones you can just buy as they are. What are your favorites? I am extremely adamant about material and am looking for the sturdiest, most durable sleeving material. Anything helps, and thanks!

I can't speak to your extreme requirements, but I have had good experience with upper line Ankers.
"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

Not sure if Drop will run these steel braided cables again. You might be able to find an equivalent somewhere else. I can't imagine there would be a sheathing material more durable.

I personally have always been a fan of Pexon's cables. In fact, I had just put an order in for two more cables recently. I always go with a double sleeving of paracord and then techflex. The double sleeving really helps the cable "remember" it's initial shape, especially with coiled cables. Now I have been away from the keyboard scene for a bit and noticed a lot more companies popping up. I found most places to be back-ordered and are opening up slots on a biweekly basis. So it may just come down to going with whoever is available at the time.
