As mentioned in my previous post, I needed a splitter to separate my headphone cable output to audio and microphone because my Razer BlackWidow Ultimate 2013 keyboard doesn’t support combined inputs.
So I decided to get the Ugreen Headphone Splitter Cable from Lazada for S$6.99. Shipping is free if you collected the free shipping voucher from Lazada. If not, shipping to Singapore costs S$1.49.
Bought a USB To 3-Pin Cable for S$1.56 and a USB To 4-Pin Cable for S$1.41 from a shop in Shopee called ashionmango.sg. Shipping to Singapore is an additional S$1.00. This is the cheapest USB to 3-Pin/4-Pin cables that I have found.
I like this cable because of the included on and off switch. It is much easier for me to use the switch than plugging in and out the cable.
Ugreen produces high-quality cables at a low price. So at S$13.77, it is probably one of the cheapest braided MFi USB-C to Lightning cable you can find in the market.

KableCard (KC7) started out as a KickStarter project back in 2018 where it raised a total of S$456,544 out of their initial goal of S$8,500 from 6,177 backers.
KableCard is designed in Singapore and is a Kickstarter project from Singapore. Hence the currencies on the project are all in S$.
This is the first time I came across a modular dock. Five kits are included in the packaging that you can swap around. Each kit measures (W x H x D) 34 x 13 x 21 (mm) and weighs 11g.

The Razer Core X Chroma comes with a 0.5m Thunderbolt 3 cable. There is nothing wrong with the length, but the build quality of the cable is questionable.
I tested it with three MacBook Pros and all three experience frequent disconnections from the eGPU. It can be as frequent as once every 30 minutes. It is extremely irritating. Upon Googling, it seems to be a common problem.
