    The very same! This is going ever more off topic, I wish I could get one of your braided cables Shrop, but my filco has an embedded cable :(

    I'm looking at ways around that... But I can have it off you and sleeve it. I'm looking at ways of modding boards so they have removable cables too. I couldnt find Kod Mids guide though :(

    You don't even need to solder anything if you know how to remove pin connectors from the plug. Filco cable uses a pin connector on the pcb side, it's not soldered on.

    I'll just leave this here:

    EDIT:
    I love those little cables, but I also hate them. I once decided it was worth the trouble of removing them for a fancontroller I wanted to individually sleeve the cables for. Turns out these are a little bit more susceptible to heat than most other connections.

    Cool, I will be looking at this tomorrow. So all I need is a mini usb (b) extension and solder it on? Simples! I just need a better soldering gun now!

    Right, I've ordered some Mini USB B female plugs and will report back. Fingers crossed some more sleeving will be here tomorrow too. Hopefully Kod Mid and el2k will have their cables tomorrow and I've got to get longweights one in the post. This mechanical keyboard nonsense is mental! Its gonna drain my funds lol. Looks like I'm going to go for a Poker with blues too.

    Poker is a great choice as long as you can find one.

    Next closest thing is the Pure, but stock on those seems really low right now too. Really I think you should just wait for the GH60 to come out instead.
