Best music wire according to redditors

Could you use a thicker gauge of music wire?

2. Now, how I would do it? Simple. Sneak up behind em and GARROTE! GARROTE GARROTE GARROTE!

One thing that worked great for building a rig was 0.051" music wire for the front half, and memory wire for the back half.

You can over bend music wire to a specific shape, and it stays that way. Memory wire is much softer, it generally keeps its shape, but you can bend it easily to a different shape.

I bent the music wire to the track IR shape and then covered it with black tape to make it a little thicker and not be conductive. Then I added the LEDs and wiring and covered that in black tape to protect it. I added the back end using a piece of memory wire bent into an H (double thickness). The left side of the H got black taped to the track IR shape. The right side is for attaching to headphones with velcro straps.

I then covered the whole thing in shrink tubing to seal in the black tape and to give it a nice finish.

Ah, who is asking, OP?

I just replaced mine a few weeks back with Piano wire, it was a PITA job, if you don't like taking apart plastic toys or familiar really with that stuff, it isn't a whole lot of fun. Searched a lot of google to figure out how to tear the thing apart [safely].... it still sucked. It's really down to how that palm rest is attached to the body, it's fitted really weird and you have to twist it off the whole thing.

Anyways, once you get it apart, you can see the twist pot with a rod sticking up from the center, pretty much where you'd expect, and 3 wires that go to a board.
I had to re-solder mine, take a phone picture before, because I did mine backwards (woops!)

but, yeah all said and done, I got on Amazon and bought this:

Found something slightly smaller than what it needed to go into, put it in a vice, WEAR WORK GLOVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
spun it around three times, and gave it a similar shape that the original spring had. My spring had snapped on one of the legs.

Anyways, put it back in, cut the little feet off the spring a little more so it didn't snag and cut a tiny wire, and it's back up and running!


I'm right there with /u/Russiangreyman though, it's exactly how I feel with my X52P
The price we're paying is really just for something that nobody else is filling on the market, probably explains the price.
Tons of buttons, a decent layout, the X52P is insanely comfortable, it's just... nothing else is really similar in terms of ergonomics and layout.

So, what we end up with, are empty spots in the market for cheaper products, that.... may likely have better build quality, again, because they probably fear nobody is willing to spend that much money.

Because when they do see reviews they see all of these negative reviews lol

me when i get called a spic at a trump rally: actually Latinos can be white too

look it's so cheap all it requires is a little work and commitment but you'll be making the world a better place
