Know before you buy
Most keyboards will function perfectly, but some high-power boards with intense LED lighting may appear dimmer due to the cable length and coil. If you notice a drop in brightness, using a powered USB hub will resolve the issue.
These are primarily aesthetic choices for your setup. The YC8 is a push-pull connector known for its sleek, modern look, while the GX16 is a classic screw-on aviator style. All three provide a secure, detachable connection point.
Yes. While the cable is designed for modern USB-C standards, you can select Mini USB or Micro USB ends during the customization process to ensure compatibility with older keyboard models.
The exit direction determines which side of the keyboard the cable points toward when plugged in. Choosing the correct orientation ensures the cable routes cleanly toward your PC without unnecessary bending or strain on the port.
For most desktop configurations where the PC is on or near the desk, 1.5 meters provides ample length. If your computer is located under a large desk or further away, you may want to measure your specific distance to ensure it reaches comfortably.
