2:21 OK so the space matters, hence you could probably either get a couple of layers of medical tape for extra cushioning (or whatever tape is soft but ever so slightly firm that works best) but put some aluminium tape underneath if that is a bit too thick. 2:36 Although maybe you want to put aluminium tape on top so as not to have it frey.

epsi mod is easier when you use the included stabilizer pad extra bits from deskeys that already have an adhesive applied. That small extra sheet probably works for multiple keyboards. My guess is about six 60% boards. Very easy to use and very effective

I'm super new to mechanical keyboards. I just bought my first mechanical keyboard less than a month ago. It was prebuilt. I just manually lubed my switches a week ago because they were really inconsistent. Then, I decided to do something about the spacebar, because it was so clacky. I was able to reduce a lot of the rattling with the bandaid mod around the plate, because I have clip on stabs. I did the holee mod too, but had to remove it because my spacebar would get stuck and wouldn't bounce all the way back. But without the rattling around the plate, I noticed that my space bar would tick. It was driving me crazy, so instead of the holee mod, I tried the shrink tube and it worked. My spacebar doesn't rattle nor tick anymore but... now it's super mushy 😭 Maybe my bandaids are just too thick?

why cant we just have more than one switches under those keys to support them, eliminate stabilizer at all. ik cost is one issue, but ppl after this is not gonna care few more extra switches. i always feel like lube in an open area (not inside a switch) is not a long term solution and it is just not elegant from engineering point of view. I stand the same view as OP's, innovation is absolutely the key of this problem, all those mods, tapes is just not it for me.

@brian7168342 4 ай бұрын
I agree, I always thought using switches would be a way more consistent and controllable design. I can see why people have not designed these yet tho. One reason is the new switch would have to be thin enough to take up the same space as the stabs in order to maintain compatibility with the keebs and caps that people own already, but this seems doable. I'm not a mechanical engineer, so it may be easier said than done to accomplish that and achieve the desirable qualities of a 'normal switch' with a thinner 'stab switch'. Where it might get tricky is trying to design the switch so that it provides the same quality pushback as a normal switch, but does not result in an undesirable increase to the weight of the key it is used for. A workaround to this would be to swap out the 'normal switch' spring for one with lesser weight, and spreading the work of the springs across the 'normal switch' and the 'stab switches' for a non-heavy and consistent feel across the keycap (but that would just be another mod that needs to be done lol). Anyways, it seems like there is potential for a 'stab switch' that will be made someday, so long as someone steps up to be the person to do it.

I don't understand the keyboard communities preference for cherry stabilizers despite all the struggles and issues with them when costar stabs are so simple and don't really rattle. Even unlubed. It's just kind of strange that all these mods and workarounds people have come up with to fix the an inferior stabilizer design, even companies trying to reinvent the same design, when a far better performing alternative that has existed since for decades is already right there. And people brush it off because they're not as convenient or whatever.

I recently tried holee modding some stabs for the first time with band-aid and they turned out really poorly, so I removed the band-aids and attempted to clean off all the grease and such by rinsing each component of the stabs in hot water and soap. I would like to try the clear tape mod next. Do you have any advice on how to get the housings into as good enough of condition prior to attempting this so that I can hopefully make the process less "hellish"? I don't mind going in with the tweezers and carefully scooping out any grease that I can from each part, but I'm curious about what you might recommend. Thanks!
