Frequently Asked Questions

Will this cable work with my mechanical keyboard?

It is built for Type-C mechanical keyboards, so the keyboard-side connector must be USB-C. Boards using Micro-USB or Mini-USB ports are not compatible.

How long is the cable in total?

The straight run measures 4.9 feet excluding the coil, and the coil itself is a 6-inch tight coil. Expect coil stretch to change usable reach depending on your layout.

Does the coil lose its shape over time?

ASCENY specifies a super flexible 6-inch tight coil designed to last, and the cable ships in packaging that holds the coil tight so you can re-store it between uses.

Is the sleeving durable, or will it fray?

The cable uses a PET double sleeve, which ASCENY lists for both texture and extra durability, and the connectors are stiff injected plastic rather than heatshrink.

Is it worth buying over a custom keyboard cable?

It targets buyers who want enthusiast styling without a custom-build price. It is a widely purchased entry point into coiled cables.
