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!
It's so weird how different shipping/distribution can be for different kinds of things. Keyboard-type stuff seems to suffer from it a lot. Even my favorite brand keychron, which seems like a legit business selling at low/mid price, only lists a tiny number of their items on amazon.ca. Buying direct from their website or aliexpress adds a big shipping charge.
