This was my first time modding a keyboard and was wondering why the keycap was stuck after modding the stabilizers. I cried for about 5 minutes but I came across this video and how it clearly explains that the stem is supposed to be placed in a specific way.. honestly thanks so much dude 😭
As a beginner to mechanical keyboards with no lube, this mod really helped make my spacebar sound as decent as it would with lubing stabilizers, so ty for that :)
Fantastic camera work. The closeups on those stabilizer mods are excellent. And the way you showed how to reassemble a stabilizer "make sure the orientation is correct" (paraphrased), was very helpful. I'm about to mod stabilizers for the first time and was actually avoiding doing it because what if I can't get the stabilizer back together properly. (It happened when I first started working with switches.) This video has given me more confidence to go forward. Thank you.
Did the band aid wrap on the spacebar and it’s 👌. There was a ticking that I could not get rid of no matter how much lube I put and wire balancing I did. Great video man, I can finally type in peace.
I recommend using krytox for the wire and the housing and stem. Dielectric grease will make your stabs a bit too mushy. Although I can say your spacebar after those mods do sound nice
Usually I would recommened 205g2 for wires over dielectric grease as you said. However, in my case, the fabric tape I use is significantly thinner than normal bandaids. As a result, I chose to use dielectric grease. But yes, I should have addressed that.
Amazing guide, as a beginner I've found it very useful. Managed to do all of them except for the leg clipping and works like a charm, really silent thank you!
Also an important thing-> The stem of stab. hits the PCB. So you need to stick some patch on the PCB. It should also reduce the noise level and protect the PCB.
I have noticed other people doing it however, it causes the stabilizers to feel mushy and less satisfying imo. Ig it’s preference but I recommend against doing that
@@YBBK i second this, it does cause mushiness in my experience as well, which is why I opted out of using the stock stabilizer pads that came with my Kbd67 Lite R3.
got my first mechanical keyboard yesterday and its not hotswappable, and all the tutorials I looked up all told me to remove the switch... which I cant ;_; so I'm really happy you included that last segment thank you so much
No problem! Congrats on the new keyboard lol. However, that segment isn't as detailed as I would have liked it to be. I kind of rushed it. Please refer to alexotos guide, its much more in depth: ruclips.net/video/nuntwYJpSUY/видео.html
My rk61 space click used to feel so cheap When i did this tutorial ( didnt even lube it) its like a new brand keyboard with different click feelings Im not overreacting when i see its even gives a better experience in gaming too Thanks for this perfect tutorial
I did my first holee mod today and it was very satisfying, I used also medical tape tho it somehow tries to slip out of the ramp but I manage to make it stay, also the wires are pre lubed I skipped that part and now it sounds pretty amazing, thanks to this tutorial
i know im a year late, but for anyone else that comes across this the tape/bandaid might slide off due to the fact there is prelubing on it. with lube on it the adhesive doesnt work very well
Damba, finally found a clear and cohesive video about how and what. Managed to make my outemu blue spacebar more thonky and less annoying. Thanks!! Also big props for having top notch youtuber quality editing.
Your content is fantastic. Im amazed by How accurate ur tælling the things and How proffesionel you Sound. Good job Im amazed i learnt so much! Keep up the good work.
YOU CAN DO ALL THE OTHER MODS TOGETHER EXCEPT FOR HOLEE MOD OR BANDAID WRAP, ONLY CHOOSE ONE!! I forgot to include this in the video, your stabilizer stems may come pre clipped. If so, you can skip the clipping part. If you are clipping, please make sure the bottom of the stem is completely flat and no parts of the leg remain, in the video, I did not show this. In addition, the bandaid on plate mod only applies to those who what plate mount stabilizers. For those who have pcb mount, you can skip that part. NOTE: I did not include wire balancing in this video, unfortunately at the time I did not know about it. I’d say wire balancing is the one of the most crucial steps in ensuring no tick or rattle. Please consider searching it up and following a tutorial!
Ohhhh my gosh thank you so much for this video it helped ALOT i have an rk61 with husky switches and the rattle in the space bar was so much that i almost bought a new keyboard because of it but then i stumbled across your video and watched it. I used the hole mod and the band aid mod around the stabilizer bar and the rattle completely stoped let this be a lesson to try other mods for cheep instead of buying lube and a brush for $30
Hey man, this is the most helpful vid I have seen yet, and I appreciate you helping me out. I just have one question. When using the space bar, the right side is significantly more mushy than the left. Any idea why?
I dont know what I was thinking, doing this mod with outemu blues wont make it sound any better, but it feels much better, and hopefully when I get some new switches It will sound and feel much nicer than it would without this mod, thanks!
bro that sounds so much better! I'm curious about what switch you used in this vid. Im also trying to find a deep and thoccy switch, any recommendation?
this is the video I was looking for. Thank you so much! One question. Which Holee mod is better; Band Aid in the house Stem or band aid around the wire? also I noticed you put tape on the PCB only on the bottom part, why not also the upper part of where the house connects to the PCB?
This took me a few hours and a lot of brain cells, but my space bar sounds a lot better now even without any grease or lube. I also added pieces of tape on the PCB where the stabillizer makes contact, not sure if that did anything.
Plan on using this guide later on as stabilizers have been giving me the most trouble so far. Esp spacebar. Btw what kind of tweezers do you recommended for this kind of fine work?
Thank you! I'm glad i watched this tutorial. I have soldered switches and I'm frustrated with my spacebar stabilizer rattle, I didn't know u can still mod it with the switches on. I tried with the other stabilizers but the spacebar is the only thing that opens might be because the wire is longer there.
Haha thanks! The other stabilizers should be able to open as well. You might need to try more force or get a flat head screwdriver and pry under while pushing on the latch
The bandaid wrap fixed very stubborn rattling on my space bar, but at the cost of mushiness. I have to open up my keyboard again and see if I can apply thinner tape, since the bandaid that was used for this is kind of thick.
Yo, I have the same problem! I think the thickness of the tape I used greatly contributed to the mushiness of the whole thing. Damn, I wish I did more research about this.
How about with the much maligned COSTAR stabs.... Just lube? I am thinking about their construction which is not at all like these stabs here. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS TUTORIAL! 🌷
I haven’t had much experience with costar stabs so don’t quote me lol. But yes, from what i’ve seen, I think you use just lube for those. I also do only lube as well
Hi YBBK I just wanted to Thank you for the vid lol my stabilizers were rattling but then I did your tutorial my keyboard got thoccy lol I even used hair wax as lube and it worked 😂
Thanks! If you want a set, something like this would work a.aliexpress.com/_mK9QJQi. However, if you just want the tweezers you can find them on amazon for cheap
@@YBBK Thank you very much for the info. Hope you put out more videos because there's a tranquil teaching feel to it. Great camera work. Great for newbies like myself.
The worst part about the holee mod is that once the stems have touched lube, the bandaids aren't gonna stick to it and it's basically impossible to fully clean them 😭
Yeah it's not fun lol. That's actually the main reason I included the bandaid wrap mod as it allows people who have prelubed stabs to have an easier alternative
hey man, I have another question: I'm using gpl 205 grade 0 to lube the housing and stem, can I also use it for the wire? Or is a thicker grease required? Also would you recommend the holee mod over the band aid wrap? I couldn't really hear too big of a difference. Thanks for the video btw!
For the wire I would highly recommend a thicker lube like 205g2, xht-bdz or dielectric grease. If you use 205g0, the lube will get displaced very easily and you will have to relube the wires frequently. You could use 205g0 as a temporary fix. Also, I would recommend the holee mod, I believe it’s a bit better in terms of feel and sound.
My keyboard has a numpad. Do you or anyone know how to remove the stabilizers on the numpad? I can't remove it cause the switch is in the way, and I can't remove the switch cause the stabilizer is in the way, so I am at an impasse. Need help please🙏🙏
The fact that you managed to get such close up camera angles, while still being able to clearly demonstrate the mods is underrated af, good job man
thank you! always working to create better content :)
Exactly! When I see videos like these I thought to myself "like the stems ain`t that small". Oh boy, was so wrong. Mine at least is small af.
Underrated af (underrated auto focus)
just started using this lubing tutorial as a guide, and now my parents are back together! thanks mam
ayo? 😂
Hmmm
Jit r u ok
DUDE my parents hated my clicky keyboard I don’t hear it right 😭but that’s the whole reason I went for a creamy sound
Lol
The band aid wrap by itself is a HUGE difference in sound and well worth it imo especially for the space bar as it’s a good beginner mod
This was my first time modding a keyboard and was wondering why the keycap was stuck after modding the stabilizers. I cried for about 5 minutes but I came across this video and how it clearly explains that the stem is supposed to be placed in a specific way.. honestly thanks so much dude 😭

The trick is to use only a little dielectric grease then its not that mushy.
soo chill and relaxing, and really following up with the tutorial, really great vid!
The before sound was not catastrophic, but the after sounds so good !

Thank you for this. I just did this band aid wrap mod + holee mod along with PE Foam mod and tape mod the thockiness are music to my ears.
thank you so much 🥳, the bandaid mod and wrap really helped removed tick and its quite easy.
this is my favourite stabiliser video
I'm getting everglide stabs soon, cant wait to try this.
finally someone shows exactly how, thank you man
thank you so much this made my space bar sound and feel 1000 times better

Nic video bro 😎 was looking for your video for so long 😊
nice sound comparison at the end of the video: before "jumping on spacebar" after "gentle press it"

Bro I can't thank you enough, my spacebar is SOOOOO MUCH SMOOTHER, thx man

Keep up the work bro👍👍👍
Thank you!
the band aid wrap is guarantee works depends how thick you'll cut the band-aid
i love you bro, my space sounds godly because uf you
Its much easier to just straight up get the tape around the wire and boom!!!! works perfectally no more rattle whatsoever👌
Have you tried both the holee mod and band aid wrap on the wire together as one? What would happen
It wouldn’t work as there will be no space for the wire
This took me a few hours and a lot of brain cells, but my space bar sounds a lot better now even without any grease or lube.
I also added pieces of tape on the PCB where the stabillizer makes contact, not sure if that did anything.
