Know before you buy
These are designed specifically for keyboards with a 1.6mm PCB that support Cherry-style PCB mount stabilizers. They will not fit plate-mount keyboards or PCBs with different thickness requirements.
AP stands for 'Almost Perfect.' This branding refers to the refined design of the stabilizer housing and stem, which are engineered to minimize wire rattle and provide a smoother, more consistent keypress.
While they function well out of the box, we highly recommend applying a lubricant like Krytox 205g0 to the housing and wire contact points. This is the standard process to achieve the best acoustics and a premium, rattle-free feel.
Yes, the kit comes with three 2u stabilizers, along with the necessary screws and washers for a secure screw-in installation. You will only need a screwdriver and your preferred lubricant to complete the setup.
No, these stabilizers feature an MX-style cross stem. They are only compatible with keycaps designed for standard Cherry MX-style switches.
