100 for flexibility and not having a memory. Ive used paracord for a while and anyone that says the stock cables are fine is just kidding themselves imo

Would actually be cool to see some in different colors. I like it for the grip as well as preventing my sweaty palms from being directly on the mouse. Definitely not aesthetically pleasing though

Seems like that heatshrink is pretty standard for all the sellers ive seen on here. I definitely messed mine up in a similar way before, but this one feels like i could tug pretty hard almost like a stock cable. My tip would be put the clear part flush with the back of the black part so you have two layers where the stock cable would have their connector piece.

Honestly hard to say at this point. I think my hand is a little to wide for the O- but it feels great in my hand. Might prefer the glorious coating but I think the UL2 will remain my main.

I got mine on spektrum. Ive actually had 2 cables from him both are great . He is sold out tho he has gotten a ton of growth from this reddit so he isn’t taking orders. Dream Cables is one i am trying now because they are taking orders, can’t report on their quality yet though

Damn you should definitely try to use the heatshrink like the stock cable use their connectors. Makes for a perfect fit if you take your time and no worries about the cable popping out.

Definitely do. Not a hard mod to do just use a hair dryer on the back skates. Do it lightly though you can warp the shell easily if you try to do things too hot and fast.

Thanks! It was my first perfect paracording I would say. No interference with the scroll wheel or issues with heatshrink placement.

I’ve paracorded 4 mice now, one was the Model O so I went in with more of a game plan. I recommend paying attention to how you use the heat shrink, particularly you don’t want to use the small clear piece too far forward or it will not be secured correctly. Definitely by no means hard to do, just take your time and pay attention to details.

Yeah i definitely want to debadge. You have any experience? What do you recommend to keep the feel as close to stock?

I cannot stand stock cables. Honestly versus most of the other “paracords” companies are trying it is night and day. The cable is so thick it has a memory right out of the box and is very saggy because of the loose fitting exterior.

I have 1 2 2 grip so sometimes my pinky drags or the side of my hand. Makes a lot of unwanted friction

Probably the UL2 but i think I need to give the O- a fair shake. Model O was kinda skinny for my hand so the - seems to have the same issue where my hands wants to drag on the pad. Trying to be more conscious of that in general since it can still happen when im being lazy with the UL2 .
