Know before you buy
These stabilizers are designed for keyboards that support Cherry-style PCB-mount stabilizers. They will not work with plate-mount keyboards or those using proprietary stabilizer systems.
The kit is designed to cover standard TKL (Tenkeyless) layouts. It includes four 2u wires, one 6.25u wire, and one 7u wire, along with 10 stems and housings to ensure you have enough components for your build.
While these stabilizers are built with high-quality materials, we recommend applying your preferred lubricant to the wires and stems during assembly. This is a standard step to eliminate rattle and achieve a smoother, more refined typing feel.
Screw-in stabilizers provide a much more secure connection to the PCB, which significantly reduces wobble and movement. This creates a more consistent and stable typing experience, especially for larger keys like the spacebar.
Yes, the washers are essential. They protect your PCB from potential scratches caused by the metal screws and help ensure a flush, secure fit against the board.
