0:26 why I love cherry stabs
0:59 clipping legs
2:43 cherry vs tx ap vs stabies
3:01 why I don't like tx ap

11:03 getting rid of ticking
12:26 how to properly seat a keycap
13:12 sound test 7u
13:27 long pole switches
Directions:
- Medium layer of lube for the stab housing
- Put a lot of lube where the wire clips into the housing
- Medium layer of lube for the stem
- Medium-heavy layer in the stem hole (do not use dielectric grease)
- Balance your wires (ticking side should be twisted away from you)
- Heavy layer of lube on the wires, extending a little past the bend (do not use dielectric grease)
- Make sure you seat your keycap properly
What to do if your stabs tick:
- Check if keycap is warped
- Check if switch is loose
- Properly seat your keycap
- Clean the top out area of your switch
- Lube the contact leaves and springs of the switch
- Use a different switch
- Check if your switch sits flush on the pcb (if using pe foam, remove it)
- Put more lube inside the stem hole
- Rebalance wires (not properly bracing the wire when inserting can unbalance them, and taking off the keycap by pulling on one side only can also unbalance the wire)
- DO NOT USE MILLMAX (millmax can cause many many stab problems)
What to do if your stabs rattle:
- Check if keycap is warped
- Check if switch is loose
- Properly seat your keycap
- Lube your switch top housing (do not lube the top out area)
- Film your switch
- Use a different switch (nixie spacebar sucks imo)
- Put more lube in the area where the wire clips in to the housing
My stab ranking:
1. Genuine Cherry Clip-ins (needs new wires)
2. TX AP rev.4 (must sand the stem, weak spacebar)
3. WS Stupid Stabs in Cherry Clip-in Housing (fixed compatibility issues, spacebar still sounds like dogshit)
4. Staebies (must trim off the housing rails, but great choice for spacebar)
5. WS Stupid Stabs (not compatible with some plates, spacebar sounds like dogshit)

This video has an excellent description of properly seating keycaps on stabilizers. This is something that I rarely see people mention in their guides and I'm really happy to see it here because it can have a huge impact on your stabs and it can get your 5-sided dyesub caps working if they're warped. I have some things I disagree with, but it's just because I have different preferences with my stab tuning (I prefer the stab to bottom out, so I clip my cherry differently. I also have a very different lube method that I like). I'm really glad this video exists and I'll be pointing people here.

this is very in-depth in terms of tuning stabs, I wouldn't even notice how my stabs would sound like before I watched your video

Big W video, probably one of the best stab guides I have seen on youtube - going to start implementing some of these little tweaks for all my future boards.

I used to spend multiple days on my stabs days! I swear! I convinced my self it was the worst thing about this hobby and litteraly made me give up on my passion but I found that it’s not that hard. Your video is amazing

This is very advanced

Very great tutorial, though the TX AP stabs you got should be the long pole version. I have normal HG cherry mx switches with tx stabs and i do not have the problem of the stabs bottiming out before the switch at all.

thank you mate! I only use the cherry clip-in too.

theyre regular pole, tested myself

2:45 is so real. i hate when stabs are too tight. sure, it's easier to make them not rattle and ticking, but losing out top out sound just makes it sound weird

Great video, wanted to ask if there are any reasons why you use/prefer these to screw in ones?

@Raptor-ln2mr 23 күн бұрын

do you know of any other stabilizers that have the tall stem issue like you showed with the tx ap stabs?

@tedi0722 Ай бұрын

You mentioned that the orientation of how you tune the wires matter, after you tune the wires on a flat surface, does it face down and go into the stab or face up?

@thefeel2261 Ай бұрын

Are the tx ap stabs you are using in your demo the regular ones? Or are they long pole ?

@Hemi790 24 күн бұрын

that's a comment he has to answer and I think that's why he has an issue with TX AP stabs because no-one else is complaining

@thefeel2261 24 күн бұрын

@@Hemi790 yea I tried looking but this is pretty much the only video/discussion about tx ap having this specific issue he was talking about. I personally have issues with tx ap but not for the same reasons he’s stated.

theyre regular pole, i checked and its true

@@mattheww6139 I did my own testing and I think the video is right. TX stab stems seem to be longer than usual even the regular pole ones...shit I might have to go back to using durocks lmao I've used up all my c3 stabs

Great video! If you don't mind a bit of feedback, your voice was really quiet during the video. I think both increasing voice volume but also actually raising your voice into the mic would really help. But I learned a lot, thank you!

*over-complicates the lube, then ends up having to add more using the syringe like he should have done to begin with* *didn't even put the keycaps on right* b e s t w a y b t w
