Know before you buy
No, this specific kit is designed exclusively for 1.2mm PCBs. Using them on a thicker 1.6mm PCB will prevent the clips from locking into place correctly.
The TX AP stabilizers are designed to be used with minimal modification. The integrated TPU soft gel in the stems is engineered to eliminate ticking, so you should find them smooth and quiet right out of the box.
The long pole version is specifically tuned for switches with a shorter travel distance, typically around 3.5mm. If you are using standard Cherry MX-style switches, the standard version is the correct choice.
These are Cherry-style PCB mount stabilizers. They are compatible with most custom mechanical keyboards that support clip-in stabilizers, provided your PCB is the correct 1.2mm thickness.
The notch design acts as a physical guide to ensure the stabilizer stems are installed in the correct orientation. It helps prevent common assembly errors that can lead to binding or uneven key travel.
Yes, this kit includes four 2U wires, one 6.25U wire, and one 7U wire. This provides enough components to cover the stabilizers for a standard Tenkeyless (TKL) layout.
