I'm not here to learn how to make YC8 connectors, but rather I'm here for this guy. Such a sweet and genuine bloke... I just wanted to appreciate this man for being so pleasant.
Dammit just spent a fortune on keyboards, now I’m being tempted to spend a fortune on building cables 😁
lol, i personally cry a little when I think of how much i've spent on artisan keycaps
@@CruzCtrl how much have you spent? artisan keycaps are one of the few things i will personally consider buying a ton of because of how handcrafted they are. also
Luckily it doesnt cost as much as keyboards!!! Hahaha
Down the rabbit hole we go......
I was able to build my own cord following your instructions and your kit. Learned that I hate stripping wires and that I never want to do this again. Hahahah. It was a learning experience.
man plateless top mount seems like a super cool mount! Wish there were more boards that offered that
You know the way to a man’s heart. Got my yc8 connector I ordered from you today with some extra goodies included. Lol. I definitely appreciate the detailed tutorials bro. Keep the content comin!
Dude thank you for this awesome content! I was about to spend bank on custom cables after building my custom keyboard... after I saw your video I thought why not build my own cables? On top of that your website has such affordable prices! I put in a bulk order last night :) Thank you!!!
so glad you made this video! building my yc8 usb cable currently!
That was awesome! Cable looks super clean :)
I just ordered 10 of these a few days ago, cant wait!
Love the video and all the information. I just recently have dipped my toe into the keyboard world and noticed all the cool cables and here I am lol.
Dude because of you I started to pay more attention to cables lol no joke bro !
cables are cool
nice to see this done i have connector on order so was great to see how it looks when its done and how to assemble thanks :)
Hey Cruz! Love your videos, and your tutorial.
Thank you for making this video it's usually simple when you know how but when you don't it's time for you tube
The coil cables do look super clean but funnt how hey are based off a throw back look. Firat time I saw one I did not know what i was looking at but i knew I liked it.
Hey nice video. just wanted to say that you shoulden't have to crimp the back of the connecter, when you screw the bottom end on it tightens the arms down on the cable :)
Nice tutorial
Hi, realllyyyyyy cool Video, thanks
Not sure about the tolerance comparison between yc8 and lemo, but instead of having extra length on the techflex, I used electrical tape to temporarily tape the techflex to the cable sticking out to get the end nuts onto the cable more easily without fraying the techflex.
Yoo this video is super helpful just liek all your other videos. Best part is the ASMR at the end LMFAO!!
Love your content and your attitude! I've been seeing painted connectors lately. Some are saying they're using an electrostatic process, what do you think?
yeah thats an option. cerakoting is also quite popular
I cant understand how can a modaf***** can dislike his videos i mean, his videos are soo good and rarely relaxing dude, i love your videos cruz❤
Thx, means a lot. :) cable time should be chill time lol
@@CruzCtrl yes bro :)
Thanks for detail tutorials. I got the yc8 2p have only 2 pins. It has marking on them 1 and 2. I'm guessing 1 is ground and 2 is hot???
Hi, thanks for the video. I am curious about the wiring pin out in your diagram (which I have also seen elsewhere) but note that the USB A wiring pin out is different. For example, pin 1 is VCC and pin 4 is GND for USB A. I am worried about frying devices! Thanks
Gonna pick up the diy cable combo on your store before you blow up and everything is sold out👍
do you even know how long it took me trying too find a way to remove connector part to get to the solder heads 🤣🤣 so thank you
you had me as soon as the music started.
Hey how do people get different coloured aviators ?
It might be a good idea to connect the male and female "cores" together when tinning them or soldering wires to the connectors, the plastic part (I think it's plastic) of the connector might melt unless you're quick when you're soldering. If you'll do 13:07 remember to unplug the cable, you don't want to short your computer with your tweezers, unless the male connector is on the device end. This is kinda a note to beginner's and myself when I actually do this
Hey, I think it would be very cool if you would have a top view of your workspace instead of that front view because the action is always in the upper part of the frame and sometimes even out of the frame so the viewers can't see what you're doing. I think that would be pretty cool and a nice improvement making your videos more comfortable to watch.
Does every pin on the male side need to line up with the same number one on the female when I connect the two or can I rotate it without paying attention?
Can I just cut the cable in 2 of my keyboard with non detachable cable and add yc8 or aviator on it?
Im a bit confused here. Can you use any smartphone cable or only the specific one for mechanical keyboard?
Is dual shield required for USB cables for keyboards? Would just braided shielding do the trick? I'm assuming foil shielding is a no go?
Great content, thanks man!
No, you don't need to double up. You can just use paracord, or techflex, or even leave it naked (you won't be able to coil it naked tho)
@@NotABot-px7ky for future builders out there, it is definitely recommended to use double shielded cable for custom USB cables.
@@buster7618 it's a good idea to practice it if you want to sell your cables, but if you're just making for yourself, you don't need to
@@NotABot-px7ky agreed!
Where do you get your 4 core cables from? I've been looking everywhere but I can't find any.
he bought them all xD , buy from his website
You're dope
Hikaru Yoroi well said
What thickness should the cable be for YC8 connector?
If you keep sending candy, I can keep buying cables LOL. Wife when last cable received: "You didn't get any candy?" Me: "Yes I did it's right here." Wife: Runs out of my office with the candy.
yoo could you do a tutorial on mouse paracording
Wow nice tutorial! Very helpful, since I'm getting a DIY kit :) What kind of USB cable (i.e. thickness) are you using?
can this brick your keyboard if you messed up the cable?
How can i get a usb kit in the UK?
Can these connectors be used in a laptop charger?
i would highly not recommend
So I followed this to the dot and when I plug in my usb in it is giving me a "Power Surge" exceeds power limit. Does anyone know how to fix this?
What's the point to have YC8 on the keyboard?
Would you like give me more information about the cable inside?
does anyone know if i buy a custom aviator cable can i buy a yc8 connector and swap it out myself?
we are factory production many kinds of connector for cable assembly.....inbox me if here any business chance between us future....
Are those from the drop GB
i've been found out
@@CruzCtrl lol I'm waiting on mine
Noice
Why use this bulky , heavy connectors ? Why not USB connector variants instead ?
Kuya where will the lemo tutorial out?
how do you solder to a 5 pin aviator?
Same way, as long as you have a 5 lead cable. Just need to look up 5 pin aviator diagram
:D
What percentage of your customers get techflex?
Can I get ingredients names?
Is there a cable manumacturing business? I mean by my studyies I got pretty good at marketing. And Im sure I could build some after this tutorial.. how much do people usually sell these for?
Dude need some nail cutter.
I couldn't see the video because of that.
I find these cables and connectors really ugly honestly, the connector is a fucking chonkster and the coiled cable is also bulky as hell. I don't get why people like these.
idc bro
