Highlighted Unique Custom USB and TRRS Keyboard Cable Projects

Ivailo Kostadinov

We’ve worked on many unique cable projects that rarely get seen outside our workshop. This post is a chance to showcase a few of them, with much of the credit going to our talented customers whose ideas shaped these builds. Many of the designs you’ll see here come directly from their creativity. Hopefully, you’ll find some inspiration for your own mechanical or split keyboard setup.
You can also check our instructions on how to set up your cable for amazing aesthetics, like in the photos below. You can check it here.
