I love my Das Keyboard 4 Professional, especially with my recently added retro looking key caps.
The cord still bugs the bejesus out of me though. Has anyone modded one o these to give it a removable plug, and perhaps move it so it's not smack dab in the middle of the keyboard?
My original idea was to mount a female usb 3 plug about 6 inches to the left of the default cord, kind of behind the space between the escape and F1 keys. I'm afraid if I don't cut perfectly though it'd end up looking kind of unprofessional and it would be a heck of a lot more work than I want to do.
Now I'm thinking an easier idea might be to just get a usb type C female --> usb 3 A cord, snip it and splice and solder it into the original factory connections. I could get a nice rubber grommet to run it through to keep the hole from tearing it up. (Probably put a knot on it on the inside too so it can't get yanked through the opening and the wires pulled apart.) A nice little usb-C cable would be much nicer than the big dorky default cable.
Thoughts?
