This version will not reliably power my Drop SHIFT RGB keyboard. I recommend if you have any larger sized keyboard to get the JUMBO version through Mechcables directly. IMO Drop should only offer the JUMBO version to maximize compatibility with their keyboard line. 3 stars because it is a quality product and aesthetically pleasing. But it loses 2 for compatibility with larger RGB keyboards.
I received mine and noticed that it would turn off all power to my keyboard at the slightest budge to the cable. When I asked for a replacement, sure they gave me another one for free, but that one ended up being worse, making all my presses delayed without even touching the cable. Really sad to see such a beautiful cable be this bad
Cable looks great with my keyboardio and zsa keyboards. I was afraid it would stand out much but it just gets perfect with my clean keyboards. Got the blue and gold version.
Premium cable, the coil holds really well.
Got the looks? Check. Works well? Check (at least for now) Matches my current and planned desk aesthetics? To a T. Not much else to say. This is a quality product that delivers. Still pretty expensive if bought full price, but that's what sales and rebates are for!
I was using this with the Akko MOD 007v2, I would occasionally have problems with it not working and having to unplug and re-plug it back in. It was annoying but not frequent even to bother me too much. Well now it completely doesn't work at all. I can hear my computer connecting and disconnecting the usb over and over.
For a $70 cable I would expect it to work at least as well as the $2 cable I'm using right now.
Cable looks great with the keycaps. Definitely feels premium; the coiling is consistent and stays straight.
I give it 4/5 / because some small portion of the golden threads that I got was already a bit loose. It is not noticeable unless one looks for it, though. Another minor thing is maybe the 'flashiness' of the gold color. I think a little more subdued coloring would fit even better. Still looks good as-is, though.
The cable looks great, works great (with my Keychron Q2) and is the perfect accessory for any keyboard using the Blue Samurai keycaps. Only downside is the price; even on sale it's expensive!
