Huge mistake at 7:17 TX stabs are absolutely useable in a gummy o-ring board, it's the staebies that typically aren't compatible. Can't believe chat caught it before me LMAO
I just wanted to share my experience with both tx stabs and staebies. I definitely agree that tx stabs feel faster and unrestricted. Staebies feels a bit sluggish the more the space bar goes further down. However staebies sounds so much nicer I’m willing to overlook the sluggishness
Watched this video probs 5 months ago and went with stabies. I don't regret it I have also used tx stabs amazing too but stabies stay rattle and tick free much longer I have been using stabies for 5 months-ish and they still hold up. Thanks for this informative video!
The 'Tolerances' on Staebies have to do with very little extra room in the housing and stem, which reduces wobble and tick. It also makes them very unaccepting of mods or thick lubes.
Staebies, TX v3's have become my new goto's, the gat ink stabilizers are really good to but only if you korean mod them, staebies and TX though are goated though with just some lube & dielectic grease they're prime. Also glad to be seeing more restock of the staebies
Picked up a few tx stabs a few weeks ago for a project revisit, good to know what to expect. Also I have a set of durock wires on deck just in case I decide for a 6.25 space. Site I bought mine from was out of them when I bought em. 🙂
One thing that a lot of videos about stabs don't mention (maybe I missed it) is the different mounting systems that these stabs use. These are NOT COMPATIBLE with all keyboards. Being the Noob I wasted money buying a set of Staebies and then a pair of TX Stabs (after I realised the Staebies didn't fit) only to realize my keyboard used plate mounted cherry stabs! 😅
great video and the reason why I'm buying Staebies rn LOL wanted to let you know that i'm hearing some kind of white noise in the background(high pitched/high hz sound, assuming this is from the mic bc I noticed it in another of your videos). could be me, lmk if you notice it too
thank you, and thanks for the heads up! Just curious, is it a specific part of the video or the entire video? I think it might be my compressor settings but i never was sper detailed about it, maybe its time LOL
also i just realized but my room is very close to the transformer for our solar panels- the whine can get so bad sometimes, I literally cover my ears at night sometimes :(
@@AnzelLmao damn hopefully fixing the compressor settings gets rid of it!! when you do the sponsor for PCBway i don't hear it, nor during the spacebar sound test; it's really apparent in the start of your jelly epoch video and subtly there throughout the rest of your video. when I was listening on my phone w/ airpods I didn't really notice it as much, but on my pc i'm using my sennheisers at a moderate/high volume if that helps
There are O ring boards which work fine with screw in stabs. The plate clearance just needs to be adjusted over the stabs so the O ring doesn't bind. Example: Maker Phantom.
Very helpful! I was considering both but am most likely choosing TX because of the availability. I do like the staebies sound and philosophy more but I also don't use GMK keycaps, so I'm questioning whether it will be compatible with my keycaps. Again, amazing video!
@@AnzelLmao Pulled the trigger an hour ago, decided to buy both haha.... Was going to buy switches but decided there was no point so figured mind as well just try both for myself.
Built a few keyboards and used different stabs but my current favourite are the staebies fantastic stabs just lubed will sound very good no need for holee mod
I finally got my hands on some staebies and just waiting for them to come in. Glad it’s not all hype! Congratulations on graduating, welcome to the medical field lol.
TX are so much better than the Durock V2s by far! I just don't know about the TX spacebar sound. Staebies sound pretty damn good in this video. But now I'm on the fence with Staebies as you mentioned TX feel better for gaming. I use my Sat 75 as a gaming keyboard and I need to smash that spacebar fast! Thanks for driving me more nuts! Great video btw!
@@AnzelLmao Maybe I could, but the problem is, I ordered from a shop in Singapore and I'm all the way in the US. I haven't installed them yet, so if they sound really bad once I install them, I'll probably email the vendor.
I don’t know what I’m doing wrong but for me TX tick just as badly as Durock. I redid them about 4 times checking different spacebars, balancing wires, less lube, way more lube. Nothing worked for me
I've tried em and couldn't get rid of the rattle, unfortunately :( they remind me a loooot of c3 stabs. i personally would still take durocks or cherries over them tbh
How much lube did you put on the wire of the staebies? A thin coat or did you cover them in a thin layer where you can't quite see the wire but it's not egregious?
@@AnzelLmao I believe it was some generic pbt black on white keycaps off Aliexpress, I made sure the spacebar was straight tho. Durock with Holee mod worked great, TX, not so much. I feel like tx has a lot of "wiggle" compared to other stabs, both sets I got were similar in this regard. The 2u stabs were perfect though, TX have the best 2u stabs I've ever tried.
@@user-kz9rz8ui1c I think it might be your keycaps if that’s the case! It’s not just spacebar straightness, but stem fitment as well! I’ve had zero issues with tx stabs on any of my keycaps so far.
@@user-kz9rz8ui1c I have this exact problem with my TX stabs on the spacebar. All the 2u's work just fine, but the spacebar wiggles so much no matter what keycap set I use :(. Were you able to find a solution to it, other than replacing the stab all together?
hahaha i was just exaggerating tbh, no shade thrown! Although i feel like having a poopoo spacebar wire kinda ruins the entire set, ngl. otherwise they're pretty solid!
I just don’t like em haha, if you get a bad wire you’re kinda done for. I’ve also just never had a stab that ticked as quickly as an owl stab, but honestly I probably just have bad rng LOL
@@AnzelLmao Ahh, I see. Just curious cause I've been waiting for TX stabs and Staebies to restock. The enter key from my ePBT Acid House set gets stuck on Owlstabs, so I'm itching to replace them with something better lol

been a while since i've built a keyboard so i needed a refresher on the newest tech and this was a fantastic video, thank you!

Thank you for this! Exactly what I was looking for as I’m deciding if I want to buy a bunch of tx stabs or if I should try the new staebies
Also I hope you feel better soon! ❤️❤️

Thanks, I'll def try!!
@@AnzelLmao np good video
didnt expect a major elden ring boss to be spoiled in a video about stabilizers, but here we are
I like to keep it spicy

Totally forgot about those! I wish they were far more common though- so many require clip-ins that it's a shame!
@@AnzelLmao the Ciel 60 was a pretty attainable gummy board with screw-in support. The Ciel 65 supports them as well.

hahah no worries! at least we have options!
yesss Anzel!!! congrats my guy
Thank youuuuu
Not sure what your mic is, but you sound amazing on it, man!
Thank you so much! It's the EV-RE320!
i still use bdx on the wires for both of these stabs. i just like it more than 205g0
Dude my wire was bent as hell lol. I was able to get it as balanced as I possibly could though.
That honestly sucks- is there any way for you to get a replacement from the vendor?
@@AnzelLmao Maybe I could, but the problem is, I ordered from a shop in Singapore and I'm all the way in the US. I haven't installed them yet, so if they sound really bad once I install them, I'll probably email the vendor.
Do you recomend putting dialetric grease on the wires and 205g0 on the stem+housing or just use 205g0?
Either one is good!
is the tx stabs worth the extra cost compared to just buying cherry clip ins?
For me personally, yes! But it all depends on you!
congrats on graduating bro! also get well soon LOL
Thank you!
I don’t know what I’m doing wrong but for me TX tick just as badly as Durock.
I redid them about 4 times checking different spacebars, balancing wires, less lube, way more lube. Nothing worked for me
Interesting, I’ll have to look into that!
Which stabilizer is better for the least ticking possible? FYI I’m probably gonna go for the tux stabs since they’re available
staebies imo but both are really good!
Reverse lightning! Jump up let it hit you and reverse it on gennichiro, it's the coolest mechanic in the game and your just side stepping it...
I’m just a pure dark souls str player HAHA
If I need clip ins and go TX, could I use a Staebies wire if I have an extra one? I’m worried the tx wire is going to be warped
Perfectly viable! TX wires should be fine tho imo
Have you tried TX stabs with different wires? They only have 7U stabs in stock and Cannonkeys sells extra stab wires
should work just fine!
Yoooo def gonna cop these stabs for my sonnet also congrats on graduating nursing school bro👍
yessir i hope you enjoy the board! And thank you!!!!
Which part do you lube on the Staebies V2? I only used 205g0 on the housing and wire and I can feel a little bit of tactility.
Same! I get friction but not tactility? Might have something funky in yours
Could you review wuque stabs? Apparently the wire is clipped in from under the housing or something, theoretically preventing rattle
I've tried em and couldn't get rid of the rattle, unfortunately :( they remind me a loooot of c3 stabs. i personally would still take durocks or cherries over them tbh
How much lube did you put on the wire of the staebies? A thin coat or did you cover them in a thin layer where you can't quite see the wire but it's not egregious?
basically what you described!
I've had a lot of issues with tx stabs on the spacebar
Can't get it to feel good, always ticks a lot.
Bought two sets, problem is consistent.
sorry to hear! what keycaps are you using?
@@AnzelLmao I believe it was some generic pbt black on white keycaps off Aliexpress, I made sure the spacebar was straight tho. Durock with Holee mod worked great, TX, not so much. I feel like tx has a lot of "wiggle" compared to other stabs, both sets I got were similar in this regard.

@@Kurry05 nope. Just used a different stab straight up. Cherry Clip Ins are underrated fr.
Hugh mistake at 7:31
can't believe you did not jump and return the thunder from genichiro
LOL
Do the staebies work with mt3 keycaps?
dont see why not!
@@AnzelLmao thanks! Just ordered some!
Lucky you that got "ridiculously straight" staebies wire. I just got mine today, 6.25u and 7u wires are not straight at all :(
aw that's unfortunate, any way you can get a replacement?
Why don't you like Owlstabs? :)
hahaha i was just exaggerating tbh, no shade thrown! Although i feel like having a poopoo spacebar wire kinda ruins the entire set, ngl. otherwise they're pretty solid!
xhtbdz is $150+ now 💀
for big ol portions! For places you can get it in stock you can get small amounts for reasonable prices. You need verrryyy little when in use!
Noob question: Is it possible to use clip in stabs like the TX (seems to ONLY be made as clip in) on a screw in style pcb like on the Keychron Q3?
Yup!
@@AnzelLmao Thanks for the response!
TX stabs are so good but i still prefer cherry clip in stabs
theyre sooooo cheap i swear!! great stabs to stock up on
Have you tried using TX stabs on akko board? Tried staebies but it wont fit in the plate
unfortunately i haven't! will depend on the board as well!
What’s the deskmat that u have there :D?
celestial dark!
would tx rev 3 work on a gk61v2
If it takes pcb mounted stabs then yes!
will they be extremely mushy or straight up won’t work if you holee/epsi mod it
I would assume so, but there's no need to do those mods for these stabs!
HOL UP ARE Staebies Pre Cut?!
Most modern stabs are!
are clip in stabs usable as a plate mounted stab?
Unfortunately not!
7:39 is there a flaw with Owlstabs that I am missing?
I just don’t like em haha, if you get a bad wire you’re kinda done for. I’ve also just never had a stab that ticked as quickly as an owl stab, but honestly I probably just have bad rng LOL
@@AnzelLmao Ahh, I see. Just curious cause I've been waiting for TX stabs and Staebies to restock. The enter key from my ePBT Acid House set gets stuck on Owlstabs, so I'm itching to replace them with something better lol
I have not once tuned a stabilizer that i was happy with afterwards. it feels like witchcraft. :c
It can definitely be frustrating for sure!!
Congrats on graduating nursing school!
Thank you!❤️
They all sound the same
Close, but not the same!
does anybody know if c3 or staebie stab wires work in tx stab housings?
It will but tx stabs are already great!
Are these the V2 staebies?
yes!
