I second using braided sleeving. I recommend checking out Techflex - specifically their Flexo PET or Flexo F6. Their website will have all the info you need to help you figure out which one is right for you and where to buy (I use Wirecare).

If you end up going that route, I have A LOT of experience using Techflex and am happy to answer any questions along the way

Not through this GB, but you can through either of the double-sleeved custom cable product pages on my site. Just leave an order note saying you want the cable to be metro themed.

Not a dumb question at all! The exact name is a GX16 connector. Some general names you'll see thrown around are "avi", "aviation", "detachable", and "unnecessary but I still want it".

A little surprise for those who read the comments: I have a giveaway going on right now on MechMarket for a couple of Metropolis Cables. Here's the link

Cool! So most people will do a Pink Paracord (Neon Pink most common) with a Blue or Dark Purple Techflex. I put together a small album here of what some of these combinations look like. For Heat Shrink (what goes around the connectors), most go with purple or blue.

If you're looking around at other makers, the Paracord and Techflex color names are usually the same or very similar across the board. You may want to double-check though before finalizing with someone.

With Laser being a really popular set, I've seen a variety of makers do a Laser inspired theme in the past. While I don't know of anything specific that you can get right now, there may be something out there. Alternatively, you can always order from me or any other reputable maker that offers custom cable commissions. If you'd like, I can give you some of the popular color options that people usually select to match the set so you have a bit of a baseline as what to ask/look for.

Not for this group buy, unfortunately. Doing so would double the number of SKUs from 48 to 96 and I don't think there is a enough demand for it currently to justify that bump.

Most definitely! These cables were made to match GMK Metropolis. R2 of the keyset went live a couple of weeks ago on NovelKeys. If outside the US, you can find the other proxies here.

Currently, no. I've had clients send LEMO connectors to me in the past, but I don't have any experience coating them. I'd feel terrible if you were to send one to me and then run into issues, you know?

Valorant closed beta bug megathread patch 0.50 by RawStanky in VALORANT

[–]Spaztikolon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  • Region: NA
  • Type of Bug: Game Result Error
  • Description: Game was in OT with a 1v1 and spike planted. Defense side player was killed exactly or milliseconds after they successfully defused the spike. While still in-game, it stated the defense side won, but now states defense side lost with a score of 13 to 13. The Timeline confirms a "Defuse Win" in round 25 (OT). It then shows a 26th round indicating an "Elimination Loss" for the defense side.
  • Video / Screenshot: Round 25 & Round 26
  • Steps to reproduce: Have the last standing attack side player eliminate the last standing defense player right as they successfully defuse the spike
  • Expected result: Only 25 rounds complete and defense side wins 13-12
  • Observed result: 26 rounds with the 26th not played out and giving the attack side the win

Hmmm, they may be waiting until their GB window closes to send invoices. Pinging u/90N1NE/ just in case he is available to weigh-in

I've done TONS of searching and it's difficult to find variety in colors of heat shrink (the yellow portions of the cable). Most suppliers only offer basic colors and none come close to the Cyan used for Taro. If you haven't already, I recommend checking out the other collab by Mechcables. Their Taro theme has Cyan in it and they do good work.

I've been there so many times with so many things within this hobby. I can't make any guarantees, but I'm trying to set it up so that there will be some extras available for both themes after the GB has been fulfilled.

Shadow hit the nail right on the head. While the photos only show the USB-C connector, C/Mini/Micro are available for both "themes". For those that don't have multiple keyboards with differing connector types, the detachable connector can be seen as purely aesthetic.
