Also Flexible with Other Keyboards

Goes well with my set of GMK White-on-Black on my black NK65. Flexible with other keyboards

Looks great

Using this with a Keychron Q2 white keyboard, with the Drop MT3 White-on-Black keycap set. I look the white and black minimalist look, and aviator white on black cable really completes the look.

Already broken

Have had this for my ctrl keyboard and have not moved it from the desk since getting it in December. The type c head has already broken and its clear that the connector is just busted from minimal use. denied a replacement on a 3 month old $60 cable. Not worth the money when you don't get the quality you pay for.

Looks good and functional

Material Quality 5/5
Aesthetics 5/5
Functional 4/5

As others have mentioned, there appears to be an issue where the cable intermittently drops the connection to the host. I'm not bothered by it too much because it's infrequent after 1 month of use.

Looks the part but feels stiff and not worth $70

Okay and works, but is my least favorite of my coiled cables.

A Strange Cable

First and foremost I wanted to say this cable certainly looks lovely and it feels sturdy and well-made. However I've had a rather bizarre experience with this cable, and judging by the traffic I've seen on r/mk I'm not the only one. I'll preface my critique of this product by saying that I've used it for approximately 5-or-so months and have used it with three different laptops and at least 5 different custom keyboards. Please also note that all of the issues I'm going to highlight below have been exclusive to this one cable (as I use multiple different cables, both standard USB cables and other custom coiled cables as well). That is to say these issues are unique to this one cable:

Some months ago I attempted to boot up my laptop with this cable plugged in to it and it failed to boot properly; my tech-savvy friend thought the computer was trying to boot via USB which in turn caused the boot failure. This has only ever happened when the computer turns on and this cable is plugged in. When this cable (or any other cable) is plugged in I have zero issues booting.
While this cable properly fed power to my keyboards for a couple of months I noticed one day that it was apparently struggling to do so. For example, I brought my Drop CTRL out of retirement the other day and used this cable to connect it to my laptop. The RBG was very faint and it was cutting out intermittently. I rotated my Drop CTRL to another cable and it worked perfectly.
This cable has been my "in-office" cable for months now (which attests to the fact that it does work well most of the time) but just yesterday it gave out for apparently no reason. It had been powering my Rama Kara for a couple of hours and then out of nowhere it stopped working. No matter how many times I unplugged it and then plugged it back in, it just doesn't work. I eventually restarted my computer and that seemed to solve my issue. This very well could have been an issue with my computer, though I've never had this problem with any other USB cable. When looking at this occurrence in an isolated environment it doesn't seem like much of an issue, however when it's coupled with the other issues I've listed up above it begs the question: is this cable faulty? If so then perhaps a replacement cable is needed, and that's my doing for having not replaced it sooner.

Going off of my experience with this cable I can't say I'd recommend it to anyone else. I understand products can be faulty and that our experiences with said products can vary, but in my opinion with a product as simple as this (it's just a cable...) I don't think I should have had as many issues. It's also very strange that I've had such a wide variety of issues (as demonstrated above) where the common denominator has been the presence of this cable. That's odd to me.

SUPER CLEAN LOOK

At first I was skeptical about spending so much on a cable but it is very well made and looks super clean on my desk.

Cable looks great, but.

I love the look and feel of this cable. However I've only had it connected for a month or two and it's already failing on the USB-C male connector. If I touch the cable or move it at all it'll disconnect my keyboard.
