I picked up the old Z-Series for my SK-61. Thankfully it fit my board, but good to know they've made improvements in their new cables.

[@user-yl4hb8dg9l]

aviator connectors are not supposed to be srewed flush on purpose. This way you will always be able to put maximum tension on the connecting prongs, even when more slack is introduced by long term usage. If not you will be able to partially disconnect the prongs when pulled on, which the thread is there to prevent.

[@xFearofGodx]

I was just thinking about what coil to buy with my new set-up. You're a lifesaver, keep up the great content! :] (Editing is also notable, the changes you're making are great!)

[@SwitchandClickOfficial]

Glad I could help!

[@K2APX]

I recently bought a Z-series in white. They've updated it similarly to the E-series. The connectors are now heat-shrinked, the aviator screws in all the way, and the coil is around 4 inches away from keyboard instead of 5. Really glad they made these updates on the Z-series as well!

[@kingclassified8503]

Do you know if the e series will work on the womier k87?

[@K2APX]

@@kingclassified8503 I can't say for sure, but it looks like your keyboard has a lot of RGB. I don't have any RGB on my board and it works fine, but I've seen several reviews saying that the cable will not work on boards with a lot of lighting.

[@kingclassified8503]

@@K2APX oh ok

[@Lilyium]

Why is that?

[@K2APX]

According to their website, the longer length created by the coil is the reason why it may not work with some keyboards. Doesn't explain why other coiled cables made by other people work though.

[@Sandbox1711]

1. Get a nice braided cable 2. Put it on a rod with the desired width of the coil 3. Heat it with a heat gun for 15 min, let it rest for 10 min 4. Heat it for 5 min and let it cool for 5 min and repeat for 2 to 3 hrs And your done... Like 👍

[@DemanaJaire]

I must be the only mechanical keyboard enthusiast that avoids coiled cables with aviator at all cost. These take so much space on the desk it's hard to maintain a clean look with them. Plus aviators are only practical if you change your keyboard every paragraph.

[@scottwangkl8882]

Same here, not a fan of coiled cables. I'd rather a clean straight cable than the coil, especially since I reposition my keyboard for some games.

[@hehe123okay]

Those are pretty much for the aesthetics

[@babaharamdev]

I had made a blueprint for a cable with dual aviator connectors but I decided to research more on these connectors before commissioning the cable artist. It turns out both GX-16 and YC8 have a lifespan insertion/mating cycles) of 500 cycles. Not worth the money.

[@skellymanz5084]

If you want some inspiration for how to do really good B Roll I'd recommend watching Hardwarecanucks, Badseed Tech and Randomfrankp. All those tech KZbin Channels have extremely high quality B Roll footage. I also subscribe to DSLR Video Shooter's channel for camera/gear reviews + advice on film making. I believe he recommended creating a space separate from your main recording area just for B Roll. I don't know if you have enough space for something like that, but it is definitely something all these KZbinrs have.

As a late and probably buried reply, I got my Tez Cables E series cables in today and they do in fact work with my Massdrop ALT. I've tested 2 Matrix Keyboards cables, 2 Sui Paracords cables, these 2 Tez Cables E Series, and a Space Cables laser cable and all of them have worked fine. Note that I'm using a Crosshair VII Hero motherboard. Also note that I have NOT tried the USB-C passthrough feature of this keybaord, pretty much ever.

Idk if anyone is gonna see this but what do aviators do? im curious on what the difference between and regular usb-c cable and a aviator is.

[@agent006nb]

Nothing, they're just for aesthetics. You technically can mix and match the two cable ends because of the aviator, but I don't think most people do that.

[@redlighte]

Great video! I like the vapor e series cable

[@SwitchandClickOfficial]

Good choice!

[@TheChimples]

Great video. Really enjoyed how you explained the pros and cons. After this I tried finding the e series but no luck on Amazon. But, and this may offend some of the purists, I went a totally different route. I got a cable that lights up lol. Might look really cheesy but at least it's different. Plus the keeb I got (Epomaker Niz plum) has no RGB so this might help get some light back. Also my desk set up is a little different than most, my desk is to my right not in front of me so I don't place my keyboard on a desk but on my lap. So the coiled cable would probably not really work for me anyway.

[@MrSolidtiger]

ZIYOU LANG C01 Custom Coiled USB C to A Cable. Got it on Amazon for 12 bucks. I use it for work everyday with my finicky Keychron C2 with no issues. The ends are metal, the screw on connectors stay once screwed together, no worries.

It's worth noting the Z-Series cable did get a minor update after they launched. On my white one, the length from the keyboard connector to the coil is about 2-3 inches. Kinda crazy they're not launching this series with a white colorway.

they should both work, the only difference between the two is that the E-Series has more color options and the aviator on the E-series is slightly better than the Z-series. But that's pretty much it.

How long are the Tez E cables after the coil to the USB-A connector?

Can I basically use a type c charger?

[@timtim4726]

What's the purpose of the aviator connector? There are usb a and usb c connectors already.

[@TheDragonshadow1231]

Four things • Is to give a metal-to-metal connection, super-strong electricity's transferring to the USB type A to the PC. • It's easy to disconnect and connect any type of mechanical keyboard as long as it's type C. It's universal for mechanical keyboards without having trouble going through the back PC to disconnect the USB type A. • Some PCs and desks are too far apart, requiring a longer cable to connect the PCs. • Optional just to give off an aesthetic visual appearance vibe

Aviator-style connectors are not intended to go all the way, I have been using (installing them) for 30 years, that's just how they are.

All these custom cables are made the same way and use the same connectors, some painted or others anodized. Is the difference between a more expensive one and budget one the wire gauge?

[@SwitchandClickOfficial]

I don't think so. Maybe the custom colors!

[@0rionG]

Do they work fine with DROP keyboards? i'v heard they are rather sensitive to cable length and quality, wouldn't want to get one for it to not work eventually :(

[@SwitchandClickOfficial]

I doubt it. I've tried many cables with Drop boards, and none of them have worked except the original cable

[@Ragnorok64]

From what I've seen, compatibility with the Drop boards can be a coin-toss since it also depends on the power supplied from the motherboard. Though I will note, going through the checkout process on Tez Cable's site, there was a note saying that these cables don't work with the ALT and CTRL boards. Honestly I feel like that's probably a statement to cover themselves, since all the coiled cables I've tried have worked with my ALT. But I also have an expensive motherboard.
