I do not know if the wire will be long enough but computer mice generally have a 5- or 6-conductor very flexible stranded wire that might be repurposed for your project.
Good idea. Might work. I'll see what I can find. Thanks.
Yes, I did mean solid by "single strand". You're right, it is less flexible, but I've used some in my current setup (Northern Telecom phone wire) as well as multiple strand household phone wiring and it's the latter that actually broke after a few months. It was cheaper quality though, than the Shimano wire, with less strands per conductor and a real pita to skin without breaking strands.
