What customers say
The TX AP Screw in Stabilizers, especially the Long Pole version, are highly regarded for their superior quality and innovative design. Users consistently praise the "Almost Perfect" feature which securely retains stabilizer wires, preventing frustrating dislodgement during maintenance. This design is crucial for long pole switches, ensuring the stem bottoms out correctly to maintain the intended deep and consistent acoustic profile. Reviewers note the tight tolerances and premium materials deliver exceptional smoothness with minimal rattle when tuned. While priced higher, the consensus is that this reliability and acoustic excellence fully justify the investment for custom builds seeking precision.
Know before you buy
The long pole stem is designed to reduce stem wobble and provide a more consistent, bottom-out feel. It is specifically optimized for long pole switches to ensure a precise typing experience.
You should choose the version that matches the thickness of your keyboard's PCB. Check your keyboard's technical specifications or manufacturer documentation to confirm whether your PCB is 1.2mm or 1.6mm before purchasing.
These are Cherry-style PCB mount stabilizers designed for layouts like 60%, 65%, 75%, and TKL. They are only compatible with keyboards that support screw-in stabilizers and are not suitable for plate-mount boards.
The housing is made from POM for smooth operation, while the stem uses a dual-injection of POM and TPU. This combination helps minimize noise and provides a more cushioned, satisfying typing feel.
Yes, the kit comes with all the necessary wires and mounting hardware required to install the stabilizers on your PCB. You will only need your own tools, such as a screwdriver and potentially dielectric grease or lubricant for tuning.
