I was kind of skeptical in buying a cable from drop but fortunately the cable worked right out of the box unlike some I have purchased through other sites.
The cord is high-quality and feels very sturdy, like others have mentioned. The mesh around the cord is stiff and pliable, and I have no fear of it breaking or being damaged. It looks great with the Rohan keyboard!
The cable is supple and the heat shrink around the cables was perfectly set. Besides looking great, the connector is much more to my liking than the larger aviator type. It is easy to disconnect by pulling straight apart and to reconnect by lightly pushing together while turning until aligned.
worked great for the first few months. then I decided to touch the cable and move it around a little on my desk. then it became spotty and practically unusable. the coil itself is the problem. unfortunately I can't return it, otherwise I would. I don't recommend the coil cables. luckily it's a USB-C port so any other USB-C cable works. a good purchase if you plan to never touch it and keep it perfectly in place the entire time it's out of the box.
phialeeSorry to hear about that, I've been lifting and twisting my Jasmine cable for months now without issue. All of our Drop products have at least a 1-year warranty. Since you're having issues with the cable, please reach out to our CS team so we can assist with a replacement.
As someone who usually uses the quick release mechanism to swap out my keyboard cable, I found the mechanism on this cable rather disappointing. It requires a good deal of effort to open, and is built rather differently to other drop aviator cables I've purchased
EDIT: I realised the connector was a "pull back" to disconnect, not spin to disconnect barrel. Having realised this I now enjoy this product so am revising my review up!
