1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,960
you just finished building your new gaming rig and it looks awesome but

2
00:00:03,679 --> 00:00:08,160
there's one big problem the cables are

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:12,400
boring sure keyboards come with generic sleeved

4
00:00:10,559 --> 00:00:17,039
cables these days and the majority of power supplies have moved on from

5
00:00:14,639 --> 00:00:20,640
ketchup and mustard to black but where's the personality in that how do you set

6
00:00:19,119 --> 00:00:25,279
your build apart from the rest of it there well don't worry custom sleeve

7
00:00:23,199 --> 00:00:29,119
cables aren't for die-hard enthusiasts anymore and with a bit of know-how you

8
00:00:27,439 --> 00:00:32,880
can make your own just be careful because we're not taking any

9
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:36,239
responsibility if you accidentally fry your board you just spent a couple

10
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:39,840
hundred dollars on but don't worry right

11
00:00:38,239 --> 00:00:44,480
it's gonna be fine the g skill tridency royal elite series

12
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:48,000
represents peak ddr4 performance and is designed with a beautiful crystalline

13
00:00:46,160 --> 00:00:53,239
pattern across its polished aluminum heat spreader get yours today using the

14
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,239
link below

15
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:06,880
this is one hell of a first real problem but right now i'm stuck using this super

16
00:01:04,879 --> 00:01:11,360
long cable to plug my phone into my car and it looks awful

17
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:15,360
not only is it plain but the xs gets tangled up and i can't really close the

18
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:19,920
chummy and uh it's just gross so let's fix that

19
00:01:18,320 --> 00:01:23,360
typically if you only need a single cable you're probably better off

20
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:27,920
ordering something from a custom site but if you like diy and like to have it

21
00:01:25,439 --> 00:01:33,200
your own way or are building an entire set then building your own cables is a

22
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:34,880
great way to go if i'm honest i've never

23
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:40,640
done this before the script says it's easy enough you just add some paracord

24
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:45,680
and some solder points right yeah technically so

25
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:50,000
are we just doing it yeah oh sick for making a usb cable it's you know your

26
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:55,520
standard electrical tool soldering iron carbon filter wire strippers and cutters

27
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:59,360
a heat gun and some wood or metal dowel we'll explain those last two later we've

28
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:04,079
also got a pair of helping hands to help keep things in place as well as well the

29
00:02:02,079 --> 00:02:08,319
script says standard lighter hours didn't have fuel so this is what

30
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:13,840
we've got for materials we've got some usb 2.0 cable

31
00:02:10,640 --> 00:02:16,560
paracord sleeving USB-C connectors and

32
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:21,680
their housings usb a connectors and also their housings so you always need this

33
00:02:18,959 --> 00:02:26,720
stuff over here but for personalization you can go for just about any color of

34
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:30,319
paracord heat shrink and tech flex this nifty purple one right here is what i

35
00:02:28,879 --> 00:02:34,959
chose because i like it but the options really are

36
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:39,200
pretty much endless we've got a few examples here today but there are dozens

37
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:42,640
if not hundreds of different patterns available online we'll decide on the

38
00:02:40,959 --> 00:02:46,400
heat shrink color and whether or not i want to add any tech flex later on there

39
00:02:44,879 --> 00:02:50,959
are a few things to know when ordering your supplies primarily the size of

40
00:02:48,640 --> 00:02:54,160
everything you can find thinner usb cable which makes for an easier time

41
00:02:52,640 --> 00:02:58,640
sleeving but you have to make sure that you have the right size and shrink ratio

42
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:03,599
for your shrink wrap or it just won't stay on and if you're making a usbc to

43
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:08,480
usbc cable like i wanted to try and make today you have to make sure you've got

44
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:13,440
at least one end with the 5.1 k ohm resistor on the cc1 and cc2 ports this

45
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:18,000
helps the host device make sense of the incoming signal when using usbc

46
00:03:15,519 --> 00:03:22,720
connectors with usb 2 cables so yeah i guess our c2c connectors didn't arrive

47
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:28,480
in time i'll kind of show you exactly why we can't do it here so this is the

48
00:03:25,519 --> 00:03:32,159
size of the pads we're dealing with and uh the resistor that we have is

49
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:37,760
well it's pretty much bigger than the connector so i think you can see why that would work so yeah because of all

50
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:41,760
that we'll be doing a classic USB-C to type a configuration today by the way if

51
00:03:40,159 --> 00:03:46,319
you guys love diy stuff make sure you're subscribed because Linus is diying his

52
00:03:44,239 --> 00:03:50,239
whole new house right now it's gonna be suck well i guess if we're doing type a it

53
00:03:48,799 --> 00:03:54,720
doesn't solve my car problem so i kind of want to just have a long one sure how

54
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:58,959
expensive is this stuff not very not very this roll was probably

55
00:03:56,959 --> 00:04:04,319
20 bucks for 50 feet or something like that okay that's not bad okay so now

56
00:04:01,599 --> 00:04:08,080
that i have this i need equal length paracord is that what i'm seeing correct

57
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:11,360
all right so we just pull these strands out

58
00:04:09,439 --> 00:04:15,680
and that's how we're able to put our cable in i guess so i'm having a bit of

59
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:19,919
trouble getting it in i have just the tip do i just keep on going like this or is

60
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:25,360
there an easier way to do it so you want to fix the fray so this is where the blowtorch comes in normally we use a

61
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:30,720
lighter okay yeah so you want to set that bad boy fire but melt it oh my god

62
00:04:31,199 --> 00:04:36,880
it might have melted it a little too closed nope

63
00:04:34,639 --> 00:04:36,880
oh

64
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:45,440
okay let's don't breathe that in i feel like

65
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,600
i made it worse yeah i feel like you did too

66
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:54,400
yeah this definitely seems like a lighter job instead of a mouse yeah that's kind of why i was hoping for a

67
00:04:52,479 --> 00:05:00,560
lighter map gas wasn't working great we're going to try just a touch of ca

68
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:05,280
oh yeah there we go so this seems very doable for like one cable but if you

69
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:10,000
wanted to do like a 24 pin how long would this take luckily with 24 pin it's

70
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:13,600
thinner so the 18 gauge wire that we'll be working with when we do the PCIe

71
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:17,759
connector later it's not as hard this is a thicker cable so it takes a lot more

72
00:05:15,840 --> 00:05:22,639
effort to actually get everything all the way through so there's a usbc

73
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:25,680
okay here's the usb a all right this is a lot easier to solder

74
00:05:24,479 --> 00:05:31,120
because you just have to do these four channels here whereas this one you need to do those four little points these are

75
00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:35,039
helping hands you don't need them but they make your life a lot easier so we

76
00:05:33,199 --> 00:05:38,560
do have some flux core solder so you don't need it

77
00:05:36,639 --> 00:05:42,080
but if you want for your solder joints to look good

78
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:46,240
i would recommend putting a little bit on there so what the flux is doing is

79
00:05:43,919 --> 00:05:51,039
just preventing air from getting in and making your like solder joints all gross

80
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:55,120
and corroded like yeah so pluth just brought this up and i had the same

81
00:05:52,320 --> 00:06:00,960
concern when i was soldering these the heat shrink that was on them moved back

82
00:05:57,840 --> 00:06:02,720
and if they touch your device is dead

83
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:08,080
so are we doing anything to fix that

84
00:06:05,039 --> 00:06:09,600
well we could glue the whole thing oh

85
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:13,360
i'm done for that yeah so i actually do this all the time and it's a good idea

86
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:16,720
from ploof to do it here when you have just something that you soldered you

87
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:20,720
don't want to have the connection take all the strains so if you just

88
00:06:18,639 --> 00:06:25,520
dab a bunch of hot glue on there it's good so yeah it doesn't matter which

89
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:29,759
cable goes to which one you just have to make sure that on both sides you do the

90
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:34,400
same one so we're going black red green white and we could do

91
00:06:31,919 --> 00:06:36,880
any permutation of those doesn't matter just make sure it's the same on both

92
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:40,639
sides or okay so basically

93
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:45,199
touch these two together it makes a beep continuity tester

94
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:50,160
easy i have no clue which pins do which thing but

95
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:52,240
yeah so ground is the whole housing

96
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:55,520
to this pin yep

97
00:06:53,919 --> 00:06:59,360
and then how

98
00:06:57,280 --> 00:07:04,800
all right yeah we're just plugging it in i need much finer tips to get in there

99
00:07:01,919 --> 00:07:08,639
this seems like a fire hazard so then you hold that part

100
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:11,919
all right and we should just be able to plug your phone or your keyboard or

101
00:07:10,319 --> 00:07:17,599
whatever in that's okay i've done it before as long as those wires don't

102
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:20,960
touch hey look at that charging it works so normally what you can do at

103
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:26,160
this point too is you can like plug it into a laptop or something or your computer to make sure data transfer

104
00:07:23,759 --> 00:07:29,680
works as well but i think we're good um i'm not concerned about that alex has

105
00:07:27,599 --> 00:07:32,400
got all his wires going the only concern i have right now is the exposed wires

106
00:07:31,199 --> 00:07:36,639
there so we're going to glue everything together before we heat shrink and put all the housing on

107
00:07:39,759 --> 00:07:45,039
oh that'll do so yeah i'm quite happy with my little

108
00:07:43,199 --> 00:07:49,919
cable here Colton we don't sell cables like this on

109
00:07:46,639 --> 00:07:51,039
lttstore.com but we do sell cable ties

110
00:07:49,919 --> 00:07:55,360
and water bottles actually you should get a water bottle so okay so what we forgot to do is we forgot to show you

111
00:07:53,759 --> 00:08:00,960
how to tech flex stuff and we also forgot to show you how to coil stuff if

112
00:07:57,599 --> 00:08:02,879
you want to coil so what this is for is

113
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:06,800
it's mostly aesthetic but it also makes the cable a little thicker oh so the

114
00:08:04,879 --> 00:08:09,759
tech flex is just like protection for your paracord yeah it's like a

115
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:13,440
protection and some people like the kind of like sheen that it gives like i've

116
00:08:11,759 --> 00:08:18,400
got a few different kinds this one's just black i think but then there's also

117
00:08:15,759 --> 00:08:21,520
a clear guy here and then this is shimmer or maybe this is the black and

118
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:26,400
this is the shimmer yeah this is the shimmer oh yeah sleeving yeah right

119
00:08:24,879 --> 00:08:30,720
too bad you know you don't want this on there right no okay good

120
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:36,479
you basically just hold it with one thumb and then start wrapping it around

121
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:38,080
like that okay easy yeah cool

122
00:08:36,479 --> 00:08:42,560
now we just give her with the heat gun yeah one thing to note before you start

123
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:47,200
be careful if you put too much heat you can

124
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:52,640
like damage the cable first of all but you can also just damage the exterior of

125
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:56,800
the paracord or if you're using techflex it melts a lot easier than this stuff

126
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:59,760
does and so you want to always use the lowest heat on your heat gun when doing

127
00:08:58,399 --> 00:09:03,279
this because it's really easy on high heat to just like basically destroy your

128
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:08,000
cable or make it look really bad by giving this big dark black spot on it

129
00:09:05,519 --> 00:09:11,680
okay so i was about to give her at 950 degrees i would not do that don't do

130
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:16,160
that i would not do that also this is an aluminum rod it's going to get really

131
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:20,320
hot really fast so at this point normally what you do is

132
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:25,040
you would keep this like it is and then you would let it sit for a few hours uh

133
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:30,640
ideally even overnight and then you can remove the tape and the coil should

134
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:32,320
basically retain its um form okay cool

135
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:36,560
yeah so we've got a few coils already made and so nice once you're done

136
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:40,080
you end up with something kind of like this yeah it doesn't spring it just adds

137
00:09:38,399 --> 00:09:43,839
a little character to your cable some people like to like have the cable come

138
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:46,800
out like an inch and then have a coil go across most of the keyboard and then the

139
00:09:45,519 --> 00:09:50,480
cable comes out yeah it looks pretty but that's about it

140
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:54,160
i dig it yeah so now that alex has finished making his

141
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:58,880
nice usb cable Anthony is going to try his hand at making a PCIe connector an

142
00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:04,399
extension for your power supply have you done this before Anthony no

143
00:10:01,680 --> 00:10:08,480
perfect i haven't either unlike the usb cables which i've made plenty of i

144
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:11,279
haven't done any extensions for cables i've been meaning to get into it and so

145
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:14,880
this is a good opportunity for both of us to learn all right so we've got 18

146
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:18,480
gauge wire which should handle you know most graphics cards pretty comfortably

147
00:10:17,519 --> 00:10:24,160
these are okay male and female connectors pretty

148
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,160
nice just have them

149
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:29,920
yeah we've got these terminals these are the actual

150
00:10:27,839 --> 00:10:34,959
ends these are basically what actually plugs into your graphics card it's not

151
00:10:32,560 --> 00:10:38,320
this that plugs in it's this and this is connected directly to the wire inside

152
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:46,760
this thankfully we've got some uh crimpy boys here

153
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,760
so satisfying

154
00:10:46,959 --> 00:10:53,519
i've done Ethernet runs before lots of Ethernet runs

155
00:10:51,519 --> 00:10:56,640
and uh let me tell you those the crimpers that don't have this ratcheting

156
00:10:55,200 --> 00:11:00,959
mechanism do not buy them they need the

157
00:10:58,839 --> 00:11:06,000
ratchet so i can't help but noticing that our wire is all black and that's

158
00:11:04,399 --> 00:11:09,200
going to be difficult to distinguish between the different wires but the

159
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:13,360
great thing about extensions is that as long as your pins are all lined up properly you don't have to worry about

160
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:17,519
the pin out diagram for each power supply that just goes straight through they're already

161
00:11:15,680 --> 00:11:21,760
set up properly so you're just extending them the bad thing

162
00:11:19,680 --> 00:11:26,640
about extensions though is that they obviously take up more room in your case

163
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:27,839
because there is more actual cable so

164
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:32,320
chances are low we're going to fry something right but for this we don't need to solder anything so for some of

165
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:36,399
you this is probably going to be easier we're going for more of an LTT orange

166
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:40,079
for our paracord this time around so yeah it should look a little bit better

167
00:11:37,839 --> 00:11:44,720
on the inside of your case if uh my estimation is correct i like orange

168
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:47,519
so along with the uh crimpy boys here

169
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:52,160
we have wire cutters or side cutters actually

170
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:55,760
this here pin extraction tool if we make a mistake with uh sliding those pins

171
00:11:54,640 --> 00:12:01,120
into these here connectors we also have

172
00:11:58,560 --> 00:12:04,160
where's the wire yeah there it is wire strippers

173
00:12:02,959 --> 00:12:07,680
and most importantly we have

174
00:12:06,560 --> 00:12:13,519
a lighter and the reason for that is heat shrink which i'm sure we've

175
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:17,200
already gone over right yeah so yeah to start we'll measure out our cable and

176
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:21,040
sleeving for each terminal we're just doing an eight pin connector so we need

177
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:24,480
eight wires always make sure to buy extra materials just in case you need

178
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:29,760
them we could easily screw up a wire a terminal or even one of our connectors

179
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:31,360
so we bought extras we each like

180
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:35,120
also make sure to give yourself some slack for cable management so

181
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:40,560
measure the general path you think you'll be taking along the back of your case and then maybe add an inch on top

182
00:12:38,399 --> 00:12:43,680
of that we're going to just push ours straight against our measuring tool like

183
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:48,399
so and give it a snip with the side cutters at the desired length

184
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:53,760
then you do the same for your sleeving material alright there's eight

185
00:12:51,519 --> 00:12:57,360
mostly equal lengths so the next step is stripping the cables and attaching our

186
00:12:55,120 --> 00:13:01,279
terminals you want to expose about three millimeters on each end so measure and

187
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:04,639
strip if you want to be extra careful you can mark with a knife or something

188
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:08,880
sharp while you've got your ruler out when you're choosing a

189
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:13,360
wire stripper make sure that the little detents in here that line up to

190
00:13:11,519 --> 00:13:19,360
different wire sizes actually match up with your wire in this

191
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:21,920
case we've got from 32 gauge up to 20

192
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:26,639
gauge but we need 18 gauge this is just gonna like destroy some of the cable

193
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:30,160
these are pretty awesome um they don't always work depending on your

194
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:34,480
cable i know i've tried mine with speaker wire and the shielding on that

195
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:37,519
is just way too thick but on something like this if you just feed in a couple

196
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:40,399
of millimeters and you give it a little

197
00:13:40,959 --> 00:13:48,399
check that out oh that's awesome yeah it's super nice

198
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:52,260
guess what they connect oh my god

199
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:56,079
unlimited power

200
00:13:56,240 --> 00:14:02,639
so wait we're just gonna have a single piece of paracord with all of these in it uh no

201
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:07,440
so you'll be sleeving each individual wire okay so that you have individual strands

202
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:12,880
on your extension okay so yeah push that through

203
00:14:10,399 --> 00:14:17,680
strip it off well you might want to measure and then cut to length

204
00:14:14,959 --> 00:14:22,079
screw measuring okay so how much of the paracord should

205
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:25,760
be covering this it shouldn't be covering the

206
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:30,399
terminal it should be covering up until basically where the terminal meets the

207
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:31,680
wire okay so right about there yeah so

208
00:14:30,399 --> 00:14:35,040
if i measure with another terminal

209
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:41,839
then that should theoretically and then if the ends are frayed we've got a lighter on

210
00:14:40,079 --> 00:14:46,079
hand so you can melt them up but that looks that looks okay

211
00:14:45,199 --> 00:14:51,040
well one endless all right the other end looks uh well i

212
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:58,720
mean it looks kind of like the black that you'd normally get on the end of these let's see if it goes in

213
00:14:55,839 --> 00:15:02,079
nice it clicked in all right let's try the other end

214
00:15:00,959 --> 00:15:09,279
yeah now from here we need to make sure that we get into the correct orientation

215
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:13,279
so actually probably what we could do get them together like

216
00:15:10,839 --> 00:15:16,720
that oh damn

217
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:22,959
all right that's our extension we're done we're done

218
00:15:18,959 --> 00:15:22,959
one down seven to go oh god

219
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:32,880
as it turns out what we were doing before we we assumed that uh female would go to

220
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:36,720
female and we didn't really think to question that

221
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:40,560
and like male would go to male but you know on second thought i'm like is

222
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:46,959
there normally like a like a little thing sticking out of the mail end of a

223
00:15:43,519 --> 00:15:48,480
pci express connector and like

224
00:15:46,959 --> 00:15:53,120
i guess it makes sense because it's got to go so far into this one right nothing

225
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:57,519
really clicked so when i said that i didn't i've never done this before i

226
00:15:55,759 --> 00:16:02,639
haven't done this before and we managed to get this mail and in

227
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:09,040
specifically because i managed to mash that so badly with crimping so crimp it

228
00:16:06,399 --> 00:16:12,000
once only on the four wings so

229
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:16,079
it should look very much like

230
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:20,320
that flat on the back

231
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:23,759
chunky in the front i got there in the end

232
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:29,600
but we had tainan come in and you know kind of redo everything because i have

233
00:16:25,839 --> 00:16:32,720
other things to do today tldr this which

234
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:33,519
this plugs into is in fact male

235
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:38,800
so it's like a seahorse i guess i don't know

236
00:16:36,959 --> 00:16:43,040
anyway it's reversed from what you'd think it is also um

237
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:46,639
for those of you playing along at home we discovered that

238
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:52,320
if this little groove on the top of the male end here specifically

239
00:16:49,279 --> 00:16:54,880
the female doesn't have quite that same

240
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:58,399
key if that is pinched in any way you're going to have a bad time it's not going

241
00:16:56,240 --> 00:17:02,240
to lock into place you might it might actually like

242
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:04,559
straight up not go in so yeah

243
00:17:03,519 --> 00:17:08,400
just pinch here

244
00:17:09,439 --> 00:17:12,559
it's beautiful Anthony

245
00:17:13,919 --> 00:17:18,439
so your first one might look like this

246
00:17:18,959 --> 00:17:26,400
actually you know what if we had multiple different colors we could just have this be a rainbow you could you

247
00:17:23,120 --> 00:17:27,760
could mismatch the lengths by on purpose

248
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:32,320
in order to make yourself a nice aesthetic i mean this just looks like i

249
00:17:29,919 --> 00:17:36,880
don't know a giant cheeto are you ready to test it Anthony am i ready to test it

250
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:40,720
hell yeah oh man um you know what would be a good way to

251
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:45,480
test it if we have a multimeter yay

252
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,480
one

253
00:17:53,840 --> 00:18:00,840
two three

254
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,840
four

255
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:08,960
one more come on

256
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:15,360
we've got an old i think it's a 680. okay

257
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:17,679
good luck everybody

258
00:18:15,360 --> 00:18:20,480
oh i got a flashing cursor uh oh

259
00:18:19,039 --> 00:18:25,280
now blank screen do we not like it no it works

260
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:28,720
yes but there's no keyboard detected oh what

261
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:35,360
a mess i'm not happy with it i wish i could go back and redo it but this is what we're

262
00:18:32,559 --> 00:18:39,280
living with now these connectors are very finicky they're they're simple

263
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:43,919
enough to understand they're simple enough to use but if you

264
00:18:42,559 --> 00:18:49,679
don't have a little bit of practice getting them just right you're gonna end

265
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:51,840
up wasting a lot of wire and other

266
00:18:49,679 --> 00:18:56,480
materials thankfully those materials are not very expensive and if you can get

267
00:18:53,679 --> 00:19:00,480
them for you know relatively cheap in bulk uh and presumably from the same

268
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:05,679
supplier so you don't have to pay multiple shipping costs but it's fun and

269
00:19:03,360 --> 00:19:08,960
gratifying to sit down and actually make these cables look the way they do and

270
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:12,640
you can make them look however you want and uh i think that's great you know

271
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:17,280
just learn how to do something new the drop pc38x gaming headset was built in

272
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:22,559
collaboration with sennheiser it features an open back design based on

273
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:25,039
the respected pc37x but with some added

274
00:19:22,559 --> 00:19:29,679
enhancements the retuned drivers deliver higher fidelity and better frequency

275
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:33,919
response the rated impedance is now 28 ohms for use with gaming controllers or

276
00:19:31,679 --> 00:19:38,000
other lower power devices and the new knit mesh headband means less heat

277
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:42,400
retention and better comfort it includes two sets of cables for either your pc or

278
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:47,039
your console and two different ear pads knit mesh or velour buy yours today and

279
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:51,200
get twenty dollars off a pair with code drop this at the link down below

280
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:55,360
do you make your own cables at home or have you been thinking of getting into it let us know in the comments below and

281
00:19:54,160 --> 00:20:01,520
make sure to check out our video on building a mechanical keyboard that was

282
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:01,520
a lot of fun too
