USB Connectors

USB A

USB type A connectors are typically used on the PC side of cables and easily recognizable for their flat rectangular shape. These connectors are usually used for at least one of the connectors on most custom mechanical keyboard cables.

We offer USB type A connectors in both gold and silver colors.

Mini USB (b)

Not to be confused with USB Type B, USB mini-b connectors are often found in peripherals and older mechanical keyboard designs, USB mini-b connectors are asymmetrical and can only be inserted one way.

We offer USB Mini-b connectors in both gold and silver colors.

Micro USB

Micro USB connectors made a huge push a few years back into many electronic devices. Micro USB became heavily pervasive in smartphones a few years back before the advent of USB-C. Despite their popularity, micro USB cables are one of the least frequently used mechanical keyboard connector types.

We offer micro USB connectors in both gold and silver colors.

USB C

As newest USB interface on the market, USB-C is most appreciated for it’s reversible and symmetrical design and ease of insertion.

While the USB-C interface (the shape of the connector) can be used on custom mechanical keyboard cables, the wire core used is only USB 2.0 spec. It is important to note, therefore, that there is a specific difference between the physical connector shape and support for any particular version of the USB standard. Keep in mind, the USB-C interface can be used to communicate over non-USB standards (like thunderbolt, as an example).
