Purchased this cable to pair with a new CTRL V2 build in the same color scheme and it arrived quickly and as advertised. Great build quality, color matched perfectly. Would be a 5 star review for me, however...
Unfortunately it seems either I got a bad cable or this cable was too long as it appears it won't supply sufficient power for either of my CTRL builds (I have a v1 as well and both boards are power hungry) and since I don't have a non-CTRL board to test, I can't confirm in either direction as to the problem.
It would have been nice to have been aware of this potential problem before I ordered, but don't let that stop you from buying one of these for your non-power hungry boards.
No thank you, just cutting my losses here. Although the color was right, the cable doesn't function properly 100% of the time and the direction of the cable connectors is wrong too, at least according to most of the pictures posted here on the product page. I would suggest you update the pictures to be consistent with the product being delivered or give the option for customer to state the orientation.
EDIT: Pictures 1, 2, 8 clearly show one orientation of the cables while picture 7 shows a different one. I received my product similar to pic 7, which is not what I wanted.
Just the look I was going for. Love the color way.
Cable is just what I was looking for. Great look as well as functionality. Colors portrayed are just like the actual product. Not sure what others were expecting from a cable when they mention “looks inexpensive”. The reaction from me and others is the complete opposite.
I bought this because of the amazing reviews. But when I tried to connect it to my pc it would not work, tried another cable and it worked just fine. Tried it a few times but to no avail, sadly was an expensive piece for something that I can never use.
unwraithsHi unwraiths! I'm sorry to hear about your experience in receiving a defective cable but we can definitely make this right. Please email us at support@mechcables.com with your order information and we can discuss your replacement.
chrisperezhey I have the same keycaps on a different black case, I've been wondering if this cable would complement them but was never sure of the color tone differences. I can't get a good idea from stock photos. How would you say grey of the caps vs the cable and the orange of the caps vs the connector look? Not sure if you posted anywhere but I'd love to see a close up photo if possible. Thanks
