What customers say
Enthusiasts highly praise the TX AP Stabilizers for delivering superior acoustic performance. Users consistently report exceptional elimination of wire rattle and ticking, resulting in a clean and satisfying sound profile. The innovative screw-in design is a major highlight, offering tight tolerances and a secure PCB fit that enhances typing consistency. This mechanism simplifies assembly by removing the need for traditional clipping, contributing significantly to reliability and preventing accidental wire pop-out. While these stabilizers represent a premium investment, the consensus is that the resulting stability and sound quality fully justify the cost for custom keyboard builders prioritizing acoustic excellence.
Know before you buy
Yes, the TX AP stabilizers are designed to be compatible with both 1.2mm and 1.6mm PCBs, making them a versatile choice for most custom mechanical keyboard builds.
The REV 4 design features a tighter wire fit and improved housing, which significantly reduces rattle out of the box. Most users find that standard lubrication is sufficient to achieve a smooth, quiet typing experience without needing additional modifications.
These stabilizers use an MX-style cross mount, meaning they are compatible with the vast majority of Cherry MX-style switches available on the market.
The kit includes 10 stabilizer housings and stems, four 2u wires, one 6.25u wire, and one 7u wire, along with the necessary screws and washers to secure them to your PCB.
These are screw-in stabilizers, which provide a much more secure connection to the PCB compared to plate-mount options. This mounting style minimizes movement and vibration, resulting in a more stable and consistent feel across your larger keys.
