I have a low profile Sofle en route!
Any tips or tricks? I’m excited to ascend from my QK60 HHKB to a split columnar stagger! Got the default TRRS cable that comes with it from Keebmaker but would you recommend I get one that’s a bit longer? If so, any preferred custom trrs cable makers?
Don't plug or unplug the TRRS cable when the keyboard is powered through USB, you wouldn't be the first one to fry their keyboard in this way.
Ah yes, I read that. Why does that happen?
The section that provides power gets dragged along the sections that are supposed to be for data (which cannot handle the power) and can fry the board.
Oooh. By section, you mean the 3 portions on the trrs cable divided by rings?
That is correct
Got it. Thanks!
Ideally you put the halves at shoulder width, so the default TRRS cable is probably long enough, unless you want to mount your keyboard on your chairs armrest for example, and run the cable underneath your chair.
Cool. Nah, no need for a suuuuper long cable. I’m ok with keeping it on my desk.
I am using as below and it fits great
90 Degree 3.5mm 3/4 Pole Male TRS to TRRS 3.5/2.5mm 3/4 Pole Male/Female Headphone Stereo Audio AUX Spring Coiled Spiral Cable https://a.aliexpress.com/_ExZnWb7
Thanks for the recommendation!
