Know before you buy
These stabilizers are designed specifically for 1.6mm thick PCBs. Please verify your keyboard's PCB thickness before purchasing, as they will not fit 1.2mm PCBs correctly.
AP stands for 'Almost Perfect.' This branding reflects the design focus on minimizing wire rattle and improving the overall stability and smoothness of your keypresses.
These are compatible with any switch that uses a standard Cherry MX-style cross-mount stem. They will work with the vast majority of mechanical switches on the market.
While these stabilizers are engineered for high performance out of the box, many enthusiasts choose to apply a thin layer of lubricant to the wires and housing contact points to further refine the sound and feel.
The dual-material construction combines the low friction of POM with the dampening properties of TPU. This helps reduce unwanted noise and provides a smoother, more consistent travel for your keys.
