The cost is less than one yuan, and the wired keyboard is transformed and the key line is separated

This is my first mechanical keyboard with cherry tea switches. I chose the wrong address when I bought it, and sent it directly to my hometown. It has been idle until now. At present, three-mode hot-swapping is everywhere, and single-mode Type-C hot-swapping is basically standard. No one uses this kind of thick and hard wired keyboard. Now I take it out and use it, and it will inevitably fall behind. I tested it on the computer first, and found that the keyboard can still be used, which has the value of transformation. NICE

Thick and hard original wire

The dismantling process of the keyboard will not be released, this keyboard is through PH2.0 5Pin The connecting wire of the keyboard is connected to the keyboard PCB board, similar to most mouse cables.

I searched around the Internet and found a cheap Type-C female socket, so I placed an order to buy it

front

back

There are pads on both sides of the mother seat. I call the pads with power and data pads the front side, and the pads with the shielding layer are called the back side.

Put solder on the pad first

Then hang solder on the copper wire of the five-core wire. The thread is the original thread, cut it directly and use it, saving the money to buy another PH2.0 thread

Formal welding (handwork is okay )

Conventional connections are: red (V), white (D-), green (D+), black (G), bare thin wire (shielding layer or metal shell).

After the wires are welded, ream the hole on the retainer of the original wire. The size of the hole only needs to ensure that the metal head of the female seat can pass through.

Block reaming completed

Cover the wire with heat-shrinkable tube and paracord. If the opening size of the baffle is appropriate, the heat-shrinkable tube can be just on the baffle to prevent the entire line from being taken out of the keyboard when the cable is pulled out.

The whole line is completed

After plugging in the cable, remember to test whether the keyboard can be used normally, and then tighten the screws after it can be used, otherwise it will be a headache to rework

The paracord wire at the Type-C female end comes out of the heat shrinkable tube, but it is not a big problem, just tie it tightly with a cable tie

Plug in

Close the keyboard cover, except for the gap is not perfect, the whole is quite beautiful

close the lid

Finally, the keyboard no longer has to drag a long tail, and it is much simpler all of a sudden.

The actual cost of the Type-C female seat is 0.72 yuan.

The total cost of this keyboard transformation is as follows:

less than 1 yuan
