Reddit mentions of [2-Pack] Anker 6ft / 1.8m Nylon Braided Tangle-Free Micro USB Cable with Gold-Plated Connectors for Android, Samsung, HTC, Nokia, Sony and More (Red)

So far, very enjoyable to type on. Coming from my TKL the transition has been surprisingly easy (although I imagine if I hadn't learned to touch-type first that might not be the case). I usually sit around 95WPM (on my preferred typing test at least...), after about a day on the Let's Split I was at something like 50WPM. A week later I was at ~80WPM and now, two weeks later, I'm back at my normal typing speed. I am getting a lot of satisfaction out of customizing my layouts/layers, the split form factor is very comfortable, and I love the MX Clears. Overall, I'd say this has been a success in all ways except budget expectation vs. reality...


Parts:

• Cherry MX Clears from Switchtop
  
• DSA keycaps from PMK (GMC Ortho modifiers, WAN Blank Ortho base set, and RBD Blank pack)
  
• Stainless Steel Levinson plates and acrylic middle layer from Keebio
  
• Let's Split PCBs from Mehkee
  
• 2x Pro Micros from Keebio
  
• Diodes and TRRS Jacks from Digikey
  
• TRRS cable from Amazon (accidentally bought a TRS cable the first time, whoops)
  
• Micro USB Cable from Amazon

I had a similar issue; no baud rates were connecting reliably. I replaced the mini usb cord with a higher quality one and it started working. I still have to manually select the baud rate though.

Give these a try.... They will last longer than most... Still a good idea to buy more Every couple months lol https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DEMTOQ6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t5QKybK53Q5D0

Anker, top quality

Ostin kaksi kuukautta sitten halvat kiinalaiset bluetooth kuulokkeet ja olen tykännyt. Bassoja ei ole hirveästi(ei kehtaa kuunnella bassovoittoista musiikkia) mutta menee hyvin perus musiikin kuuntelulla https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B079GXC5RX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
15€ ei ole paha hinta näistä. Akku kestää jonkun 4-5 tuntia ja lataus microUSB:n kautta vaikka samasta mistä kännykänkin lataa.

PS. Jos amazonilta tilaa niin suosittelen kans Ankerin laturijohtoja, esim. https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B01DEMTOQ6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

i've found that charge only cables are shitty. if you have a data cable, like that came with a phone you should be able to use that. this cable has worked well for me, as well as most other anker cables.

make sure you do the two shorts very quickly. you should see the one of the LEDs blink for 8 seconds afterwards

I use this one:

Having a long cable is pretty useful, and having a braided cable makes it pretty durable. Ignore the gold plated part, but I think this cable does its job pretty well.

These are the ones I use.

Get quality cables like these:

I am the IT guy at a Ford Dealer and we have bought these to use for demos because someone was trying to use some cheap ass cable and it wouldn't work.

Thx :) I bought this cable --> https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B01DEMTOQ6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and coiled it with a hair dryer and a wooden stick with 10mm diameter (those are about 1€ at the local hardware stores).

I found this simple guide --> https://geekhack.org/index.php?PHPSESSID=4ckthvrl09ct4vegc7rmgaihfaj23en4&topic=82202.0
(btw, using zip ties instead of tape works ways better to get a tight tension for coiling)

I have experienced similar issues with my P2XL. Bought another cable from Amazon and never had that issue after.

Depends on what you like. I use Anker or Amazon Basics ones because they are cheap and reliable. They are not overly flexible, but I just ran the cable through the Velcro on the side strap so I don't notice.

Have you ever used quality cables? I mean sure they’ll eventually break but if you use them well they should last at least 4-6 months if not more.
This cable is pretty good for example.

I've been very satisfied with the quality of these braided Anker cables. I've had them for nearly a year and their good as new, fitting into the controller snuggly.

Good to know, thank you. I've read the descriptions and narrowed it down to these two options, and both seem to be built for carrying quick charge current. Thanks for responding.

Never buy another cord and never have one too short again.

I have one that's lasted me 3 years now and still good as new. Whereas my family keeps replacing their dollar store ones every month

Those are good:

​

Those are rather bad or not that long lasting:

I would suggest: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DEMTOQ6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_v4ECxbT7CKJKV

combined with these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01AHKYIRS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_j2ECxbCC4957V

Notice, this plugs into a regular USB DAC adapter, do you would need a different adapter than the one it came with.

I currently use this combo with my car charger.

I think Anker is one of the best as far as cables an chargers go. I don't use a braided cable, but these look good.

You can use any Micro USB cable/car charger to charge your phone, but I'd recommend getting something like this to take advantage of the phone's quick charge capabilities. I have one in the car and it's great.

That's 2 for under 5 bucks.. I was wrong. Well worth it. Read the reviews before you listen to the guy who replied saying to not use anker. They are all I use on my phone for the past 3 years and zero issues.. They work flawlessly, read the 6thiusand reviews, most mark them at 5 stars
