I have seen LTT do a custom built USB-C cable, as well as PC cables, just today, and they said that you could do USB-C to USB-C cable as well, although they were focusing on a 2.0 cable, and I was wondering if you have made a C to C cable, and if you have used it, and also if you are proficient in it? I'm looking for a video on that specifically, to find what is needed, and maybe try it myself, but can only find videos about A to C cables, unless they are the aviator style, then there might be some...

The YT algorithm is a good boi....I just got into the rabbit hole of making my own keyboards, to have something to do while, y’know, the ˋrona is going on outside and I am stuck inside. So I have soldered a bunch of keyboards and started looking for something else to do. And right then I got this is my recommendations. This turns out to be a very promising new rabbit hole to dive into and I thank you for this, from the bottom of my heart. It is neat projects like this that help me stay sane amidst all the insanity that’s been going on.

Thanks for creating these videos! This has inspired me to create my own cables! I got burnt from an IG cable guy promising me to make my cable 8 weeks ago but never made it and kept my money. I ended up having to go through a dispute process but I'm glad you make these videos as I can now learn how to make my own!

Yeah, I got into cable making myself since I thought it would be a good idea to get my own cables done faster. It's defintely a great hobby if you get into it.

Just ordered some cable kits from CruzCtrl. Didn't even realize there's a youtuber/face that's behind CruzCtrl dedicated to cables. Very cool.

Just saying, coiled cables exist because they can extend to a desired length and retract back when not in use- for keyboards they don't really serve any purpose but for things like headphones they're pretty nifty

Hi. Is making custom cables actually profitable in a way to be your main money source, or is it just a cool hobby?

I just finished watching this and most of your other videos. Thanks for the great guides! Where do you buy your heat shrink(US)? I've been looking all over for a purple/lavender 1/2" without labeling down the length of it. What about the 1/8" shimmer tech flex? Would you consider making a tutorial for sleeving cables with transitioning colors of paracord?

Oddly enough, no one's mentioning these coils actual having a certain function. Just like them on wired phones, they let you gain wire length and not be wrapped in excessive wire when it's not in use. May even be beneficial for your desktop organisation as well.

Very comprehensive and understandable! Thanks!

FYI: The coils carried over from keyboards back in the 80's. The functionality is simply for cable retraction so not completely useless :)

Just yesterday I made my first 2 cables with aviator connectors. I did struggle a lot with choosing my sleeving colors. I f'd up my desired asthetic. Should've swapped my paracord and tech flex. Would've loved if that video was up before I ordered a few weeks ago 😭 Mdpc sleeving is basically not see trough fyi. Also I'm putting in coils soon.. But for the size of coil I wanted o ordered waaaay to short of a cable

FYI GMK Wavez was actually designed by EnjoyInMySec. Biip just did the novelties and packaging.

May sound like a stupid question but aren't those cables kinda universal? They are referred to as specifically designed for keyboards but can't you like hook other stuff to it, like your smartphone, camera, dunno, it should still work fine, shouldn't it?

Hey ! I wanted to change my cable from my old logitech mechanical keyboard and the cable avec 5 cable inside... 1 red 1 green, 1 white and 2 black...

I recommend getting the coil to come out good first. You can always rewind it and heat again. typically if you reverse and do what you did before, it will still come out quite uneven.

Does anyone know where I can find a sylveon cable clip? I want one that will actually clip onto the cable but the only ones I see are for iphone cables only so they're probably too small to clip onto a keyboard cable.

love the video, just wondering if my custom coil aviator cable isn't long enough to reach my computer, can I just add the usb extension 1-2m? (since going with standard short size cuts the weight time, and I only want to display the front part of the cable)

I think my custom cable fried my keyboard, i unplugged the 2 parts of the cable and my keyboard won’t turn on anymore at all, I even tried different cables and different devices

hey man, why are most keeb cables 2.0 and not 3.0? just wondering. i spent most of my budget on the keeb itself, what would you recommend for someone that needs a usb c to usb a? i don't need coils, but would like to have them. thanks!!!

Does using different sleeves like (techflex or paracord), affects the coiling of the cable? Thank you in advance CruzCtrl💯💙

you can use a multimeter to test that all the connections are correct. the chances of damaging a pcb with a faulty cable using a usb cable and a standard usb port are relatatively slim, but it's not impossible.

Do you mean a 1/4-in plug or an XLR connector? XLR should work but a 1/4-in plug won't have enough contacts (number of distinct conductors) to handle USB tx/rx and power (four contacts).

i've been thinking of having that as an intro for years

The heat shrink bothers me. It isn't the best strain relief for the cable. It should be replaced with an overloaded strain relief, but I am assuming the reason why it isn't is because this is very low volume; therefore, it isn't cost efficient. But if a legit manufacture just put heat shrink, then I would be bothered.

do you take orders?
