I have a cheap MechanicalEagle Z-77 keyboard.
I'd like to replace the wired USB A cable with a USB-C port.
when I open it up, I see the cable is attached like this, with wire colors from the top: red white green black black:
When unclipped, I have this, the 5 pins being labeled "S GN D D VD":
I find some tutorials about how to do a similar job with soldering. I don't know how to solder and there is a clip. Can I purchase a USB-C port that will clip into this?
I can't figure out the name of what this component would be called.
I see some mentioning about resistance and capacitors. I don't know about these things. What if anything do I need to find out? I don't know if the info in the soldering tutorials applies the same?
Obviously I am very novice on this topic. If I am missing anything please advise and I will attempt to fill it in.
Here is same device on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Mechanical-Keyboard-Tenkeyless-Professional-Office-Black/dp/B07ZH7569D
Thank you!
Do you think it matters that the wire colors are in the opposite order?
In either case, thanks this gets me closer.
It's not in the opposite order, it's just flipped around in the photo lol.
Do you think so? the letters are the right way up on the USB-C end. Here is how my existing cable looks in comparison:
The description lists the letters as VCC, D -, D+, GND, SG.
Electrons don't care which way the letters are facing
a long as the letters don't type upside down
