@@KeeCode Yeah I havent been through all of them but I watched most by now Quick question how much lube do you think Ill need for switches + stabilizers ?
I appreciate you! And you don’t need much, if you checkout my cheap tools video, I got that lube for $8 and I’ve used it on hundreds of switches and stabilizers. I still have about half left too
@@KeeCode the stabilizer make a difference like night and day damn I had the same thing like you had with the spacbar but with the backspace For me it was just that the clicky thing of the stabilizer wasn't exactly in place
I had the similar problem when I was modding my rk84. The spacebar just won't bounce back to its original height. In the end the problem was due to the plate foam which I installed myself being too wide and was pressing/pushing against the wire of the stabilizer, causing extra/unnecessary friction.
I see, I noticed that when installing cork into my board there were similar problems as well. It’s an interesting problem! How did you end up fixing it?
The first thing you can do is take out some of the foam that is causing tightness near your stabilizers. If you remove all the foam near the stabilizers and there is still a problem. Try mix and matching your stabilizer pieces to find a looser fit
For your spacebar, i think the keycaps is interference with your switch. It might be bended or something. So turning the keycaps upside down or get another keycaps with higher profile would be works. Cause i have the same problem with the backspace key, and i tried to switch the keycap with oem profile (was a cherry one), and no more mushy and stuck key. And for your enter key, i think it can get better. Try to get more pressure when install the keycaps, especially on the two side of stabs all the way together. Then it would be more clack.
Thank you for the advice, I’ll give it a try with a couple more spacebars, I did try to put on my ducky shine spacebar but that didn’t do the trick. I appreciate your response!
I have the exact same issue with the sticky spacebar. Tactile switch make it stickier. I couldn't fix it after trying all combination. In the end I went back to stock.
I've the same problem, BUT with original keycap works fine, but other custom keycap the spacebar stucks or mushy, and i dont know why, i tested other spacebars keycaps but only keycaps with 3 holes works fine, custom with 6 mount holes stuck on bounce back, well i dont know how to fix it :(
That’s an odd problem, I haven’t faced that one yet so I’m not sure how to deal with it. It may have something to do with the weight of the keycaps though. Maybe try weighing them and see if there is a significant difference
@@KeeCode its true, the 3 hole keycaps its to much lighter than 6 holes, i think about that, i've tried a lot of things, re-lub stabs, unlub, its weird a lot
Yeah, the durock stabs are probably slightly a different size and it is causing too much friction, it’s hard to deal with that problem. You could try and mod the stabilizers or just look for new ones
Do these need to be clipped, it doesn't have the little fang at the extra legs, they seemed to look flat. Should I clip them although they don't have that L shape?
You don’t have to clip them but I did, they have two pieces that are slightly raised. You can clip them and maybe you will see a little difference, plus it’s kinda fun to do. If the bottom is completely flat then there is no need to clip.
hi bro cuz im trying to do a very and i have durock plate mount stabilezer but shift right shift enter and backspace is stuck and idk how to fix it it is really snug when i put it in but idk if thats the problem and how to fix it
Hey, If you have tried lube, one mod I suggest is continue using the plate mount stabilizer housing, but replace the insert of the durock stabilizers with the insert that came with your keyboard. 10:30 in this video I explain what I did. Good luck!
@@KeeCode yeah, the left side of the wire is not flat. Anyway how much force did you need to balance them? i see other youtuber did this and it looks like they didn't use much force. I try to bend them, but no avail, the wire still the same lol
only 200 subscribers??? you deserve way more for this kind of quality!
keep up the good work! :)
Thank you for the support! I appreciate it!
damn thanks for pointing that out
You did a really nice job with this, sounds great.
Thank you! I appreciate it!
you are a legend
just bought the keyboard and looking how to mod it and you made this banger explaining everything
Hahaha let’s go! Happy modding and if you have any questions I’ve got tons of videos on the Vissles!
@@KeeCode Yeah I havent been through all of them but I watched most by now
Quick question

Totally! A good fitting stabilizer is amazing for any board!
i came back just to see the starwars bandages and the final product, congrats man its sounds great!
Thank you Lui! I can’t have a video without the bandages making at least one appearance hahah
1k again?! Happy to see you getting some recognition

@@KeeCode oh well pretty simple. Just cut off the excess foam which are pressing against the wire
Sweet, I did the same thing! Thanks for sharing :)
can you explain i have the same problem and idk what to do

Yeah some people seem to have that problem as well, the stabs seem to be a really tight fit on certain boards
nice work
Simple tutor but usefullllll
Thank you!
Way better but that spacebar has a strange wetish side sound try flipping the spacebar to see if it does anything
Will do! I’ll let you know how it goes
hey man, is there a way you can open the case , like tearing apart the pcb from the casing? thanks! great vid! +1 sub
Thank you, I appreciate it and Yeah I can go ahead and make a video on that!

@@KeeCode its true, the 3 hole keycaps its to much lighter than 6 holes, i think about that, i've tried a lot of things, re-lub stabs, unlub, its weird a lot
Maybe try new springs or different switches that are stronger to offset the heavier keycaps
@@KeeCode I try a original stabs moded and works fine, durock stabs I believe it's a chronic problem
Yeah, the durock stabs are probably slightly a different size and it is causing too much friction, it’s hard to deal with that problem. You could try and mod the stabilizers or just look for new ones

@@KeeCode i tried it but it rattles alot
Hmmm, if you wanted to get creative you could probably try to sand down the inserts slightly that may help
@@KeeCode ok ill try it
Just please be careful because if you sand too much you will continue to have the same problem
Is it ok if the stabilisers have unclipped stems?
Yes, it’s fine! I clipped off the two unnecessary feet on all of my stabilizers.
Does this keyboard support PCB screw in stabs?
It does not support screw in stabs, you’re going to have to go with clip in stabs for this board.
i’m pretty sure the stabilizers are already flat and they don’t need to be snipped
It depends on the specific stabilizers however these clip in ones needed to be clipped
I have tried to lube them and even holee mod the stem, it still ratlle on the left side. Any tips?
Maybe try to balance the bar, if you take it out and place it on a flat surface. Make sure the bar is completely flat
@@KeeCode so bend the wire until it flat right? Will try
Yes just take your time with it and let me know if anything changes
@@KeeCode yeah, the left side of the wire is not flat. Anyway how much force did you need to balance them?
i see other youtuber did this and it looks like they didn't use much force. I try to bend them, but no avail, the wire still the same lol
That is probably your issue then. Just trust your strength and slightly bend it until it’s flat. Good luck!
i cant put my stabs into my keeb so im trying to do it this way and i cant
Is it possible that the stabs are not the correct size?
What is the difference between piano and the V2
V2 stabilizers are usually screw in, while these piano stabilizers are plate mounted.
3 weeks ago I didn’t know what thock was. Now I cringe hearing bad stabs on a space bar
