keyboard cables with heatshrink
« on: Mon, 05 February 2018, 08:07:11 »
I was wondering how well the heat shrink holds up over time on keyboard cable if you unplug and re-plug them in a couple times a week

No problems with the heatshrink. One of my boards I'd disconnect every day because the back lighting would stay on. Heatshrink still looks fine.

The port typically gives out, before the soft stuff does

"Starting in 2011, the deficits again started to shrink. During Obama’s term  the deficit was reduced by $900 Billion  before finally in 2015 the GOP managed to wrangle a “reconciliation” bill out of Obama where he again cut corporate taxes, as well as made permanent some of George W. Bush’s original tax cuts. This is the year everything reversed. Before this, under Clinton, Bush and Obama the deficit in almost every year was gradually decreasing. The balance we had of taxes and the economy was bringing the deficit down, the money coming in was slowly catching up with the money going out until 2015. Trump’s subsequent tax cut has continued the new trend even after the rest of Bush’s cuts have since expired. Obama had an average GDP of 2.3%, with 11.6 million jobs created and unemployment peaking at 10% in 2009, then falling to 4.3% in 2016. If we had continued on that downward deficit track, we would have again reached balance and another surplus in 2017-2018.

No need. You really shouldn't be worried about the heat shrink.

I think the future is those magnetic cables, so you don't ruin the jack.
