Know before you buy
These are specifically designed for keyboards that use a plate-mount stabilizer system. They are compatible with standard Cherry MX style switches and TKL layouts, but they will not fit keyboards that require screw-in or PCB-mount stabilizers.
The combination of POM and TPU materials helps reduce noise and vibration during bottom-out. This results in a smoother, more dampened typing experience compared to standard all-plastic stems.
Yes, the kit includes 10 housings and stems, four 2u wires, and one long wire that can be configured for either 6.25u or 7u layouts. It provides all the necessary components for a standard TKL keyboard.
These stabilizers are engineered with extremely tight tolerances between the housing and the stem. This precision fit minimizes the side-to-side movement that typically causes rattling, providing a more stable feel right out of the box.
Yes, these are designed as a direct replacement for standard Cherry-style plate mount stabilizers. They are compatible with any plate designed to accept that mounting style.
