Full credit goes to Tet from my Discord server for introducing it to me! kzfaq.info/love/VBmnwa-yqnZGeOE20JjlbQ

Instructions unclear: I got something else stuck in my stabilizers

I need to Holee mod my sleep schedule

Ngl, it's kinda comforting to know that I'm not the only one struggling with stab rattle

"Well boys we did it, rattle is no more"

Medical tape works as well and can be less wasteful than bandaids !

be warned: holle modding zeal stabs can result in a very mushy break in period due to the reduced space in the stem compared to durock v2s. To accelerate the break in process, I recommend extra time to be spent flattening the bandaid to the stem, and also pre-soaking it with whatever lubricant you are using on the wires (of course, with the bandaid already installed... or else the adhesive won't work)

holee hell I’ve been waiting for this *punny drum sound affect*

Pro tip: Cut the band-aid before removing the plastic covering the glue :-)

Holee this is a nice vid. Well explained & camera work is on point- smashed it as always bro

Holee Modded my stabs for the first time using your video and it was hands down the easiest to follow out of other stab how-to’s I’ve watched. The clear, simple instructions and up close footage was super useful. Thanks for the video!

Thank you very much for doing this video on the holee mod. I thought my boards sounded decent before. But after trying it out on all the stabs for 2 of my hotswap boards (NK65 EE and a 60% alu case), my boards sound SO MUCH better! I never knew my boards could make such sounds before, its like unlocking the potential that I never knew existed out of these boards. The holee mod removes that annoying metallic ticking sound that is produced when the metal stab wire hits the stabiliser stem when we push down on the key. I had thought my quality everglide screw in stabs didn't produce any ticking sound. But upon closer sound comparison with my holee modded stabs. I DID notice a subtle ticking with the screw in stabs that I never really paid attention to before. After holee modding all my everglide screw in stabs, it resulted in the stab keys having a much more muted, more homogeneous sound profile as compared to the other normal keys. When I do a typing test, the entire keyboard sounds smoother, as I can't tell the difference in sound when I press on a spacebar, a shift key or a normal key. The typing sounds and experience has become so much more satisfying, that I'm buying desoldering tools to desolder all my other boards to holee mod all the stabs moving forward.

Hamaji, thank you so much for doing this tutorial. I tried doing this several months ago going off of just written instructions and failed miserably - so I gave up because I got frustrated. But, I decided to revisit the mod and found your video... now I cannot stop pressing my beautiful spacebar! I had a tick on the right side of my space bar, even after lubing and straightening out my stab wires. You've earned a sub from me, hands down!

i tried this on my first keyboard i ever build and never was quiet happy with, but now it is actually good to press the spacebar instead of trying to hit that one sport where it sounded alright. and it was much faster than I expected. great mod

For anyone who's trying this mod and felt like giving up because it's taking so long. Push through the pain!!! I'm new to lubing and this mod took my over an hour and a half to complete but it was so worth it!

Beautifully explained Hamaji! Very clear and well done

I'm definitely trying this, awesome video!

Note: The holee mod only helps with the rattle from the stem and wire. If your wires aren't balanced, your stabilizers will rattle.

Wow! thank you for the excellent tutorial! I just did the Holee Mod on my NK65 and you have helped me endgame my keyboard even further. Thank you! I didn't think i'd be able to get rid of that damn rattle.

finally a high quality holee mod vid

Tip: go through the stem with you tweezers and apply it on the top of the tweezers, it will be much easier for you to get the band aid inside of the stem by pulling it! Pushing is a bit inconvenient

Thanks for the awesome tutorial. Just followed this last night and can already hear a big improvement in my stabs!

This saved my sanity. I have been in an endless cycle of relubing my stabs, having them sound good for about two weeks, and then suddenly becoming rattlecity

I've been waiting for this one! Can't wait to try it. Thanks for the tutorial!! :)

Man, I was waiting for a good guide for too long. Thank you!

Guess Who just bought the parts for his first custom keyboard. That's literally perfect timing, thanks Hamaji :D

This is my first time doing a holee mod and only your video is a guide for me. After some time that really drained my patience, finally the rattle on my spacebar was gone. I am very happy with the result. Thank you very much :)

Your camera work is so excellent. This video is so professional. I love your channel! Great job!

Great video! For my very loose wire, I needed to also dampened the side to side play inside the housing. So instead of putting the tape inside the housing itself, I wrapped 1 layer of duct tape around each end of the wire, being careful to keep it only 1 layer thick so I can insert the wire back into the housing.

I have been waiting for this for so long

this is literally what I was looking for thank you hamaji

Thanks for the great guide. I'm currently building my first keyboard and this helped a lot! Also, nice camera work. Hard to get clear shots with such small subject matter.

I just did it, and i'm in love. My spacebar stabilizers are better than lubed ones. Thank god hamaji posted this. My gk61 is better than usual.

dang, this was crispy video .. loved the clarity, to the point, the detail and of course the Holee mod .. cheers ..

Sound test was so relaxing I nearly fell asleep 😂 you should do a similar video to lubing switches, that would be super useful

Just did this for the first time after 6 months of a rattling spacebar. It actually works very well. Thank you for this very clever mod.

Thank you so much for this video I did this yesterday and my Durock V2 stabs are SO nice now :) totally worth it and I kinda even got the hang of it after the 2nd stabilizer :)

Very clear instructions and images and no rambling which helps in my comprehension. Thanks. Subbed.

Thank you so much. My space bar was driving me nuts, I had to keep taking the stab out over and over because it would sound find after a test, then an hour later it would start to rattle again. This really helped me overcome this tragic hurdle :)

FINALLY A GOOD HOLEE TUTORIAL!!!!

Nice and thorough tutorial! Defs gonna use in on my next build :)

thank u this really helped me it took me like 20 mins because its so hard to fit the band aid in the hole but at the end the holee mod actually solved the problem

Funny thing is that i just finished doing my own holee mod on my cherry stabs like maybe 10 minutes before the video can out

i'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE

Thank you so much. This changed my keyboard. The sound before and after is completely different, its like its not even my own keyboard. Thank you. Thank you so much!

Using the right bandaid and a good pair of small scissors makes this a lot easier. Also I found it easier to cut the bandaid by peeling the cover off, turning it 90 degrees and putting it back on. That way you can cut the bandaid without the scissors sticking but you can still peel off the cover since it will stick out past the ends of the bandaid.

This finally made my drop ctrl nice to use! Thank you!

I just did the holee mod on my ticking space bar. Holy cow what a difference! Possible the most annoying mod I have ever done for my keyboard but so worth it. Thank you Hamaji!

Thank you. Great video quality makes it very easy to see what's happening.

wow, i just did the clipping stabilizer thing and lube the wire (no the holee yet, cant find my band aid). and the difference really noticeable. big thx mate...

Nice video. Really helped me out. Keep them coming 👍👍

Dude, thank you so much. Currently redubbing the stabs on the GMMK PRO and it's my first time modding a keyboard more that switches and sound deadening. This helped me so much!

Best stabilizer mod that I have seen on KZfaq

I HAVE BEEN WAITING ON THIS

thank you so much! very much needed this :D

I bought a set of the glorious stabs, and am now considering modding the stock stabs first, to see the difference (and as practice). Thanks for the tut!

Hi Hamaji, I spend days using dielectric grease, krytox, super lube, bandages etc on my Womier k68 65% board. There was always a tiny rattle, and then I saw this video and it worked. I was really impressed and I just wanna thank you for this great mod!!! Youre the best.

this was beyond helpful thank you

OMG thank you so much this made my keyboard so much more thockyyyyy ily vids keep up the good work

wow! I've tried reassembling and relubing the stablizers a ton and nothing would fix the spacebar rattle on one side.. however the Holee mod solves it all!!!! THANKS SO MUCH Hamaji! Will post a sound test soon and you can be the judge of that! ;)

Finally, a proper tutorial to do the Holee mod with CLOSE UPS ! I'm so glad i found this !

Very cool! Tip for the holle mod: insert the bandaid the other way and catch it with the tweezers on the other end, and pull. this worked a lot better for me. obviously it depends on your tweezers size.

Nice. Was literally googling for this type of tutorial 2 days ago.

Wow amazing tutorial keep it up some of the stuff feel a little off but it’s getting better so I assume it will work all the kinks out with use

thank you so much, this was the first time in 3 months i was able to actually get my spacebar to not rattle

dude. this crap just saved me a bunch of time, my holee modded keychron stabs with cheapo dieletric and teflon grease sound better than my screw in durock v2s with krytox 205g0. you earned a sub and im doing this for every single keyboard i touch for now on

You are amazing this will be so helpful for my build I’m hoping to make soon thanks so much

thanks for tet giving this idea and thanks hamaji for spreading it!

This mod really helped me out :)

Hey, thx for your videos. You really inspired me to build my own custom keyboard :)

Nice i was waiting for this vid

So helpful, thank you!

Thanks for the great guide! Works very well.

didnt expect this to work so well

i had a headache with my spacebar rattling on the left side. thank you for this tutorial. it is fixed now

This is gold, I did not even use lube or fabric band-aid. Just wanted a quick fix for my annoying spacebar. I put 2 layers of thin plastic band-aid on the stems, with no lube. The results are amazing. For just 5 minutes of work this is superb.

Perfect instructions. Thank you.

Bro your so underrated you just got a sub and a like well done bravo

7:26 thanks dude! two out of the 4 stabs I holee modded were giving me a clicking/tactile feeling when i’m using linear switches. Was driving me crazy. I added more lube to the back of the stabs and bam the clicking was gone. amazing

found out about this mod from one of your earlier build videos, been using it ever since! quality content!

I just did this mod and holee molee does it make a difference! The crisp sounding squeak/creak is gone! Now my keychron sounds like a $500 mechanical keyboard, Thank you!

Thank you :) the bandaid mod actually work for my spacebar

Finally did it. It was time consuming but it was worth. I test it with band aid but it was too mushy so I ended up doing it with medical tape and it was way better! I really hope the adhesive will stay in place 😬🤞

when you asked in kb-help i had no idea what holee was. had no idea it would be this good/popular!

Really appreciate the guide

Holy crap thank you! I finally fixed the tick/rattle on my stabs with this.

just got some durock screw ins and i did this my spacebar is sounding amazing :D

Great tutorial, well explained thaaank you

Vid came out earlier then expected. Not complaining

thanks for this tutorial, really helpful. :)

OMG it worked!! Thanks! *tears of joy* LOL

Had the most annoying clicking sound on one side of my spacebar that I couldn't figure out, but this seemed to do the trick! Thanks for the tutorial

Just did this mod. haven't assembled the keyboard yet. The spacebar is too goddamn satisfying now. Upgrading from cherry stabs to durock and applying this mod worked wonders!

Simply, Thanks ❤️

I needed this🙏🙏🙏

This mod is definitely worth the time. Btw if you guys dont have tweezers, you can use a toothpick as an alternative.

Yo, thank you for this!!

Doing the holee mod requires a lot of finesse, patience and a good eye so you can cut the band-aid to be the right width, or else you might be wasting a lot strips because it's too small or too big.

Thank you so so so much, I was getting so frustrated that my spacebar was rattling and then I did this, It frustrates you a little bit while doing it but it's so much more worth it in the end. Thank you. (Although it feels really weird and sometimes my spacebar wont fully go up and it's really annoying.)

omgosh absolutely perfect thankyou.
