Sharkoon Announces New SKILLER SGK50 Aviator Cable Set

[GFreeman]

The SKILLER SGK50 Aviator Cable Set is a striking addition for all kinds of keyboard. The coiled cable cuts a particularly fine figure in any setup, and thanks to the metal cable rod, it will retain its form even after a long period of use. The aviator connectors with their screw thread will provide a connection that is continually stable. In contrast to conventional cables, the coiled cable of the SKILLER SGK50 Aviator Cable Set is a real eye-catcher. The double textile sleeving of the cable enhances both the looks and the durability of the cable.

Thanks to the integrated cable rod, the cable retains its coiled form even after prolonged use and frequent movement of the keyboard. The SKILLER SGK50 Aviator Cable Set is connected to the keyboard via USB-C and to the computer via USB-A. The aviator connectors, from which the set gets its name, have a screw thread that ensures a stable connection at all times.



Price and Availability
The SKILLER SGK50 Aviator Cable Set is available in white, gray and black immediately at the manufacturer's suggested price of €19.90.

I really don't get these cables. Why would you want connectors on a USB cable that you can't use with any other cable/device? It's also a big risk that you get reduced signal quality with this, even if it's just a USB 2.0 cable.

But this is for a mouse and keyboard, not for data cable.
So for the as far as the signal degradation goes, does not really matters.
On the specifications it does not even tell the USB version, so I will guess it is only v2.0.

So how does a mouse or keyboard communicate with a computer? By magic instead of USB?

Eh? Considering it's a digital signal it really matters, as if there's a degradation, there won't be a signal at all.

Yes, that's what I mentioned no? Technically speaking, everything that's USB today that's not 3.x or 4.x is USB 2.0, even devices that technically only conforms to the USB 1.x standards, due to USB 2.0 implementing a bunch of additional things that are now de facto standard for all USB devices.

I still don't understand these cables, as you pay extra for something that is actually worse than a single piece of cable in every way possible.

Looks like a Dayton resistor hahaha.

If it's not working, then RMA
If there is a lot of RMA the company will pull the product.
Personally, I would not be worried about this cable being defective from the get go.

People just want the 80's coiled up keyboard cable look back.

I just use a 90 degree angled USB-C cable from UGREEN for my Keychron Q6 ^^
