How to Clip and Lube Keyboard Stabilizers

My stream schedule on Twitch is Monday 6:30PM PT, Wednesday 6:30PM PT, and Saturday morning around 10am PT.
/ andyvnguyen
In this video, I explain my method for lubing stabilizers. My method is to brush on the 205g0, which is my favorite lube to use with stabilizers. I use this for both the wire and the housing. I go through a few tips and tricks as to how to make sure the stems are oriented properly, and how to make small adjustments to your stabs without having to desolder or take them apart.
Buy stabilizers from one of my affiliates: www.andyvnguyen.com/affiliates
You can also use these lubricants for lubing stabilizers:
Dielectric grease for wire
Teflon grease for housing
It will be more cost effective. Links for all of the products can be found here:

Seriously you need to put those exact words in the description and the title because I suspect a lot of newcomers had just as much difficulty as I did figuring out how to do this by themselves….I’ve been scouring KZfaq for 2 days and every build video glossed over this part. HUGE PROPS for the close-ups and walking dummies like me through the minutiae of assembly! Thanks 👍 (now back to my own kbd67 lite build…)

i paint up the stems with 205g4 and dip the wires is dielectric grease really thiccccc. i find that painting the wire doesnt last long, and if its a soldered board getting back inside is gonna be wack. Whenever my stabs begin to make a little noise, i just take a 1mm tip plastic syringe and literally inject dielectric grease into the cavity the wire slips into, makes for easy keep up.

They both do the same job, I would probably use dielectric grease if you don't have a lot of 205g0 around. Supply for 205g0 is pretty low right now. Don't use 3204 for stabs, though.

Hi, I'm all new to this keyboard moding and stuff. I was wondering if all stabilizers can be removed even if my keyboard isn't hot-swappable? I'm afraid I might break it and replacing stabs/keyboard isn't on my budget RN. Thanks in advance!

@AndyVNguyen 2 жыл бұрын

it depends on a lot of things. it the keyboard has plate mount stabilizers you SHOULD be able to take it apart even if it's soldered. the problem is that a lot of keyboard manufacturers have been putting a piece of foam underneath the spacebar that stops you from moving the wire out now if the stabilizers are screwed into the PCB and the keyboard is not hotswap, then you won't be able to take it out

I bought a set of durock stabs for my k552 and it seems the stems are slightly miss aligned with the switch stem which creates a tension in the stab housings that prevents the key from coming back up. dry or lube doesn't make a difference. never seen anyone having that problem so im wondering if you got any idea what to do.

@rekt4guud134 2 жыл бұрын

@@AndyVNguyen unfortunately no, i eventually figured it out. the socket on the plate is probably a fraction of a mm to short and because there is no play inside the housing of durock the stems don't line up properly with the holes in the keycaps. once the keycap is on it pushes the pieces with the stem outward in the housing of the stab which creates the tension that prevents the key from coming back up. tho i am surprised it's a problem on every single stab key. had to frankenstein the durock housing and wire with the stock stems, they're thinner. luckily the majority of the rattling came from the wire in the housing and not the wire and the stem. After searching a bit, it turns out this is actually quite frequent with durock stabs.

8:15 "Krytox is not good for your ingestion" I don't know if you know this, but about a year ago Krelbit livestreamed himself eating half a container of 205g0 spread on a piece of toast...

I always thought Dielectric grease on the stab wire was the only way to go. I guess not!

The amount of grease you are brushing onto the wire ends is not enough. This amount fixes horizontal wire shifting, but you will still see some vertical wire shifting, which will make the stab stuck more and/or still slightly rattly. Indeed as you said, dipping with 205g0 is wasteful, but wire dipping need not be with 205g0, as the purpose of dipping is to fill the cavity and not to lube. Amazon Silicone Grease with PTFE will do as good a job as 205g0 in my experience (tested with durock&zeal stabs).
