Know before you buy
The 'AP' stands for 'Almost Perfect,' representing a 2023 design revision. This update focuses on tighter tolerances and refined materials to significantly reduce wire rattle and improve the overall consistency of your key presses.
These are designed specifically for keyboards that use Cherry-style plate-mounted stabilizers. They will not fit keyboards that require screw-in stabilizers or those with proprietary mounting systems.
The choice depends on your switch type. Use the standard pole length (3.7–4mm) for traditional switches, and the long pole length (3.2–3.6mm) if you are using long-pole switches to ensure the stabilizer bottoms out at the same time as your switch.
While the dual-material construction is designed to be smooth right out of the box, many enthusiasts still choose to apply a light layer of dielectric grease or lubricant to the wires to further minimize noise and friction.
Yes, the base set includes both 6.25U and 7U wires, allowing you to accommodate standard layout spacebars as well as Tsangan or HHKB-style layouts.
The combination of POM housing and TPU/POM internals creates a self-lubricating effect that reduces friction. This material mix helps dampen the sound of the stabilizer hitting the plate, resulting in a quieter and more refined typing feel.
