When my better half asked me for gift suggestions and I mentioned a K-Pod she
thought that was a great idea since I've aggravated an old rotator cuff injury
by constantly using my right hand tuning my K3 and running a mouse. I've since
trained my left hand to run the mouse and thought I could run the K-Pod the same.
The problem is the supplied data cable is too short and too stiff. (IMHO there
are other deficiencies but those might be the subject of another message)
Unfortunately, one is left to manufacture a cable, since there is an
admonishment in the manual to NOT have a connection to Pin 1 (they don't want to
rile up Jim Brown I guess). The puzzling part is that they warn that if a
standard RJ12 cable is modified (not sure how one would do this) to break the
Pin 1 connection, the end with the disconnect should connect to the K3. So I
question: 1) Why should it matter? 2) If Pin 1 is unused why is it connected to
something inside the K-Pod?
