Fellow redditor htig, who runs a shop on Etsy selling coiled cables, shares everything he's learned so far about gradient dyeing mechanical keyboard cables.
Why am I sharing this information? I've learned a lot from the internet and especially reddit, so I'd like to pay it forward by sharing everything I've learned. I think sharing information is extremely important, and I believe that it will actually help my business rather than hurt it. Cable-makers, most with other full-time jobs and careers, work really hard to create elegant and beautiful products, so learning about what we do behind the scenes can only help people appreciate our products more. Both creative adventures and DIY are things that I really enjoy, so I'd like to share that joy with other people.
