TX AP Stabilizers
Best choice for enthusiasts seeking a quiet, wobble-free custom typing experience.
Introducing the TX AP Stabilizers, engineered for an "almost perfect" typing experience. These stabilizers boast significant enhancements to the housing and stem, coupled with an updated design for a more secure wire fit. This results in substantially reduced noise and wobbling for a smoother, more consistent keystroke. Designed for PCB mounting, they are available in various colors and thicknesses, offering components for both WK (6.25u) and WKL (7u) layouts. Note: Stabilizers are sold unlubed from the factory.

What customers say
TX AP Stabilizers are highly valued for delivering a superior acoustic experience. Users consistently praise the innovative design, particularly the patented wire clip, which prevents common wire popping issues. This feature, combined with tight tolerances, creates an exceptionally stable and clean sound profile. The stabilizers significantly reduce typical rattle, producing a deep, satisfying 'thock' when tuned. While the initial cost is higher than budget options, the consensus is that the performance boost and elimination of common stabilizer frustrations fully justify the investment for premium custom builds. They are considered essential for achieving an endgame keyboard feel.
Know before you buy
Yes, these stabilizers are sold unlubed from the factory. You will need to apply your own lubricant to achieve the desired sound profile and smoothness.
The thickness you choose must match the thickness of your keyboard's PCB. Check your keyboard's specifications or product page to confirm whether it uses a 1.2mm or 1.6mm PCB.
These are designed for Cherry-style PCB-mounted layouts. They will not work with plate-mounted stabilizers or keyboards that use proprietary stabilizer designs.
The kit includes both 6.25u and 7u wires to accommodate different spacebar sizes. The 6.25u wire is for standard Winkey (WK) layouts, while the 7u wire is for Winkeyless (WKL) layouts.
The 'AP' stands for 'Almost Perfect.' It features an updated housing and stem design with a tighter wire fit, which significantly reduces rattling and wobbling compared to traditional stabilizer designs.
