Thinking of sleeving my headset, and maybe Keyboard, Mic and Mouse Can I simply Cut, Sleeve, Solder + Heat shrink like standard wires? Would be useful to if people could point out if I can maybe do for one or more but not for say headset due to cable type Thanks
Most sleeving will open out far enough to go straight over the connectors, so no need to cut anything off and a lot of heat shrink is 4:1 so that should go on as well.
Heatshrink is very cheap on ebay few quid buys you a yard so it's no great issue. Might want to get glue-lined heatshrink tubing though so that it stays in place once shrunk. The actual sleeving will be an issue though, I can't imagine anything smaller than ~5-6mm will expand over the headphone jack, that'll be a trickier one to work around unless you can chop the plug & resolder it ( maybe with a smaller 3.5mm jack connector + larger adaptor ).
solder off jack (if it could be disassembled), sleeve what You want, solder jack back. don't forget to mark wires You un-soldering for proper re-soldering if jack couldn't be disassembled: before cutting away old jack find which wire goes to which ear (simply try any AA battery (-) to ground wire (+) for wire) and after sleeving solder appropriate jack. and You can always reverse channels in Your audiopanel
