Custom Cable for Tex Yoda Trackpoint
« on: Sat, 02 January 2016, 12:57:17 »
I've been on the hunt for a custom cable for my Tex Yoda to no avail. I need a cable with a right angle connector to connect to the keyboard itself and I'm not coming across anyone who can do this for me.

I checked with zealPC a number of months ago (like August) and he told me that they weren't doing right angle connectors anymore because of a quality issue with the right angle connectors. I just checked their websites a few minutes ago and it looks like they aren't even doing cable anymore. The only other site I know of that does custom cables is Mimic but they don't have right angle connectors listed as a possibility.

Would anyone know of a place where I can satisfy my need for such a cable?

Pexon perhaps?

Nope. They don't list a right angle connector as an option  :(

Think I might have figured it out.

I could just get one of these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-USB-2-0-Mini-5-Pin-Male-to-Female-Right-Angle-90-Degree-Adapter-Connector-/221945290511?hash=item33acf85f0f:g:~50AAOSwEgVWTfff

And then get all the custom cables I want! Providing of course it's the proper orientation for the Yoda.

Pexon sells the right angle adapters as well, so if you got a cable from him, you could kill two birds with one stone. :)
