About this deal

Costar stabilizers are a less common stabilizer type, as they are primarily only found on older keyboards, although some newer keyboards may have them. The V2 revisions of these stabilisers include a new wire hook, to help prevent wire popping during operational use and maintenance. There are a few different stabilizer types out there, Cherry style, Costar, and Optical. They are each significantly different, so we’ll explain what makes them unique. Cherry Style Stabilizers We also recommend taking the time to mod your stabilizers to improve them even more. A little bit of lubricant and band-aids goes a long way.

If you like to remove your keycaps and clean your keyboard regularly, these stabilizers can be quite the headache. Cherry style stabilizers are the most common stabilizers out there. They are the preferred stabilizer type as they are easy to mod and have a lot of different options when it comes to mounting styles, colors, and material types. Costar stabilizers: they’re rather old, and only found in vintage mechanical keyboards or newer, very few in between keyboards that no-one wants you to go all DIY on. Costar stabilizers are hard to handle, tune, and install—rumor has it they rattle worse than a snake.If you ask any of the mechanical keyboard builders in the industry, enthusiasts and specialists alike, one of the most important—if not the most important—modification you can do to your mechanical keyboard is the use of well tuned and lubricated, quality stabilizers. There are a ton of different stabilizers types, styles, sizes, and mods out there, so it can be difficult navigating the world of stabilizers. We’ll go over everything you need to know and give you all the juicy details. The stabilizers attach by clipping/snapping into the metal plate. This style of connection is not the most secure and adds to the overall amount of shaking and rattling. Finally, the Holee mod, which is likely the fiddliest mod of them all. The Holee mod involves inserting a thin sliver of fabric band-aid into your stabilizer stems. This eliminates stabilizer rattle by ensuring the stabilizer wire fits more tightly inside the stems. It’s hard to explain in text, so watch the video above to learn how to perform this mod. Closing Thoughts The ZealPC stabilizers are offered only in the screw-mount style, with a custom nut design to prevent stripping the threads.

Optical stabilizers are typically only found on keyboards with optical switches, and have a funky design (such as the Razer Huntsman Mini). They have small clips that insert into the keycap that you snap into the stabilizer bar under the plate of the keyboard. Plate-mounted stabilizers are the most common mounting style and are typically found on almost all pre-built mechanical keyboards. These stabilizers attach to the metal plate inside the keyboard instead of directly to the printed circuit board (PCB). Lubricating the stabilizers reduces the friction when typing and makes them feel smoother and more consistent. In this guide, we’ll be focusing primarily on the Cherry stabilizer type when explaining all of the different options available. It’s possible to get Cherry style stabilizers in screw-in, snap-in, or plate-mounted variations.Kits include 4 x 2u Stabilisers, as well as 1 x 6.25u Stabiliser and 1 x 7u Stabiliser wire and required screws and washers. This new kit includes both spacebar wires required. Cherry stabilizers are made up of three main components, the stabilizer bar, insert, and housing. These three components work together to keep the larger keys stable and reduce rattle.

You can remove these stabilizers by first removing the switch, then pressing on a small plastic tab on the stabilizer, while simultaneously lifting up on the stabilizer. Screw-In Stabilizers The PCB also tends to vibrate less than the metal plate, which makes it a better mounting location for the stabilizer. Screw-in stabilizers are typically only found on custom-made keyboards and not on pre-built keyboards, which makes them less common, but highly sought after. Screw-in stabilizers mount directly into the PCB and are attached with screws. This mounting style is considered the best because the stabilizers are much more secure and will vibrate less.The stabilizers are pre-clipped which makes them rest on the PCB in a more stable fashion and improve the typing experience. Costar stabilizers are quite difficult to use and have to be hooked into the keycap to fit. Getting the stabilizer bar to insert properly into the keycap can be a frustrating and lengthy process. Each key will have one stabilizer bar, two inserts, and two housings. The stabilizer bar keeps both sides of the key from tilting when typing. The stabilizer bars come in several different sizes based on which key it is for, but we’ll get into that later. Different Mounting Styles for Cherry Stabilizers If you are willing to put a little extra work in, your Cherry stabilizers can benefit from some custom modifications, the most common being band aid, clip, and lube.
