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

“No political truth is of greater intrinsic value, or is stamped with the authority of more enlightened patrons of liberty: The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands .… may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” —James Madison, Federalist 47
“All the powers of government, legislative, executive, and judiciary, result to the legislative body. The concentrating of these in the same hands, is precisely the definition of despotic government. An ELECTIVE DESPOTISM was not the government we fought for; but one .... in which the powers of government should be so divided and balanced among several bodies of magistracy, as that no one could transcend their legal limits, without being effectually checked and restrained by the others.” — Thomas Jefferson, commentary on Federalist 48

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.
