cherry plate mount stabilizer assembly and installation

In this video I show how to assemble and install cherry plate mount stabilizers. I also go through the steps needed to install the stabilizers if you have already soldered in your switches (you need to desolder, but only two switches).

[@RLkingsYT]

this might be dumb but i was struggling with these for like 10 minutes thank u

[@elijahtheresebasas1680]

no recent videos on the tube helped me as much as this 5 year old video that is at the bottom of the search results did. thank you for your service

[@thevankeyboards2126]

glad this was helpful to you!

Greetings from 2024. Can't believe I am watching this after 7 years. This hobby had really had its days.

[@rockets4kids]

Well sure, now that you can buy a pre-built keyboard which is better than you had to build yourself back in 2017. And at a small fraction of the price, even before you account for all the time you spent building your keyboard from scratch.

THE WAY THIS JUST SAVED MY WHOLE DAY BLESS YOU PERSON

[@alexic0n]

thanks much for the video. wasn't sure about the orientation of the insert (should slide freely in the housing), as well as the placement of the bar (in the lower of the two square holes on the insert...), and the satisfying snap when you get the bar in place was really helpful in getting this sorted for me!

[@samdeur]

totally was looking online how to mount plate mounted stabs..

[@arthurchen9675]

Thank you for saving me 10 minutes trying to get the stabilizer re-assemble, now I know the correct way

[@FusionMusic]

Thank you so much for the video, I've been dreading buying any keyboard with plate mounted stabilizer because I was always under the impression that to take it out you have to desolder the entire keyboard. But now I realize we only need to desolder the switch with the stabilizer, which is A LOT less work.
I plan to do the clip mod to make the Cherry stabilizer feel closer to Costar. Thanks again for the video. :)

[@philipwee5352]

I watched this video for this too haha

[@jani80k]

Applying superlube should also help.

@@michalfrenfsy9288 no shit haha

[@derekchristenson5711]

Thank you! I spent more time on Google than usual to try to find a video that actually showed how to do this... as opposed to a video showing how to install stabilizers on, say, a pickup truck; there are a lot of those videos, even with "keyboard" in the search text for some reason. 🧐 There were also a few that were about keyboards but that just glossed over how to actually install the pieces of the stabilizer kit, step by step.

glad this was helpful!

the insert was hard at first until I saw this video. Props to you man. LIFESAVER

Thanks a bunch! Hard to find videos on installing non-modded stabs!

[@hudsonnordwall]

[@Atokii]

Thank you very much you saved my frustration :)

[@gnomegnome1159]

Thanks Man! Great tutorial

[@reuben2884]

holy shit, thanks heaps man. I was lost as fuck about how to put these in but this helped heaps *kisses*

[@blyaticon8190]

Do I need a different style of cutouts for plate mounted compared to PCB mounted?

[@SakFPS]

IDK if you're still responding to this video or not, but could you tell me why my stabilizers seem to always feel jammed? like I'm trying to install them and i can click them into the plate but the wire seems to be pretty much pressed to the plate. The key is stuck and I can't press it when it's attached.
Is there some simple mistake I'm making that I'm overlooking? This same thing happened with PCB-mount stabilizers too...

[@DiegoPally]

Thanks man, you save my life

[@totopogito7434]

thanks. You save my sanity 😂

[@ynnryy]

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@nbaducc]

tysm, ur a live saver

[@vientocalido3059]

Thanks for existing

[@sweetnumb]

Damnit! I still have no idea how this works, I wish someone would make a really detailed picture or something, I still have never once replicated a successful stabilizer. Are there any that come with instructions?

[@oceaniics4056]

Basically dude u just slide the wire into the housing and peg things and then press the bent part of the wire down against the housing where it’s supposed to sit and it’ll easily snap in. Ik that was months ago but I literally had this problem and figured it out as I’m typing this lol.

[@muratuzun9822]

this is gold

[@pneuma23093]

Should I insert the wire into the bottom hole or the top hole? Is there any benefits of doing either one of those over the other.

[@thevankeyboards2126]

bottom hole. it doesn't work properly in the top hole.

[@teddyz5918]

I did everything shown in the video and after I assembled everything i pressed space and the space bar got stuck and i cant do anything pls help

[@samihindi]

best video

[@joefather69]

thank you so much i modded my keyboard and i didint know how to assebmble the stabilizers and i done it wrong and my spacebar didint work.

[@LetFreedomSPK]

where do you but these inserts and housing? i installed PBT keycabs on my k95 and when removing the space bar it tore out the inserts.

[@samdeur]

thanks still very useful..

[@soyyonwick-9356]

So I don’t need to to solder the stabs?

[@Alexander-eg8fy]

I spent 3 hours trying to put a stabiliser in
Turns out you can clip the wire in...

[@azku]

Do I need to lube it?

[@thevankeyboards2126]

I would

[@zealouss96]

BRUH I was doing it the other way around...i made my own life harder

[@sillybanana6605]

good vid

[@azlure3761]

ur vid was good but i think im doing somehing wrong bc the stabs wont click in

[@thevankeyboards2126]

does your plate support plate mount stabs? plate mount requires a specific cutout and some plates only support pcb mount stabs.

[@azlure3761]

@@thevankeyboards2126 actually i forgot to say this like 2 days ago but i figured out how to do i i just had to push down for something
