The algorithm recommended this one to me today after watching one of your newest videos. This one doesn't have the production and performative skill that your new ones do, but it's no less useful and sincere. Aside from all the tenacity and hard work, I think that's why you guys have been doing so well - you started with the actual substance, and polished the details from there. It's totally clear in this video that you're here to help the viewer learn from your experience, and this remains a helpful video. My first two keebs had Cherry and Costar stabs respectively, and both threw me for a loop the first time I had to maintain them - I didn't even know there were different kinds until I approached the second one thinking I'd learned the ropes. Ha!

when you are clipping the stems use a nail clipper. it makes it so much easier and a cleaner more accurate cut.

OK 1) Is Know what stablisers you're working with before taking everything apart - you might only know how to work with cherry style stablisers but this particular one is proprietary. And to know what to do with them you might for e.g. 1:32 (1) Can play into your purchasing decision imo - for a first time keyboard experimenter go with cherry mx so you can see all the guides and have all the mods easily understandable and available to you, however once you have experince other stablisers mightbe more moddable. 2) 2:30 is pretty well explained in the video. 3) 3:30 to 4:42 already well explained 4) This is time consuming so work in a workspace where when you're working on the keyboard you don't hurt your back etc. and so when you go to do something else your keyboard won't get dusty or you wont get food on it like if you eat at that desk. Also 5:23 is good advice especially as lube is PTFE you don't nessesarily want to be all up in that and if you ingest it from eating with your hands or something later (as I cant be sure it'll wash off) then some of that PTFE will never get out of your system, so yeah 100% use tweasers, not only does it make a bunch of this way easier but its not good for you. (I also might check the negative health effects of PTFE just to see HOW warey exactly I should be e.g. from now on I might just avoid teflon pans like the plague or be super careful around where I've lubed or just not lube with PTFE (that 205 stuff is PTFE so just use the grease or something that they recommend if the PTFE stuff is too bad or ask around for non-PTFE grease and CHECK that it does indeed not contain PTFE, or if PTFE is relatively safe you could check that it *does* have PTFE if it turns out that is indeed what makes it a good lube) at all if its too bad despite being one of the best mods and PTFE being from what I hear the best lube for it. 5) Test all your parts and switches ESPECIALLY important with soldering.

Undo the last X number of steps, fix it and then rinse and repeat. Great suggestions, and overall good video.

I think I modded mine in November 2019. I made the mistake of putting the wire in the wrong hole, though fortunately, I didn't break anything. I lubed the stabilizers, but I was too lazy to do the clipping and band-aid mod. You don't need to take off every switch to take out the stabilizers, just the switch associated with the stab. The hotswap sockets are rated for a limited number of insertions and removals, so it's best not to remove switches unless necessary. The default stabs have too much tolerance when contacting the plate, which causes them to rattle even if you lube them. I replaced them with Zeal stabilizers, which fit tightly on the plate and sound good when lubed. I have no idea how tight the tolerances are for other aftermarket plate-mount stabilizers.
@Bugfragged

@@SwitchandClickOfficial Yes, I have the Drop CTRL as well. The Zeal plate-mount stab set I bought are $25 and aren't transparent, but do come with gold-plated wires, which is probably the reason they cost so much compared to the plate-mount stabs from Novelkeys. I don't know if the gold-plating will make a huge difference, but at least the Zeal stabs give the CTRL a more premium sound for stabilized keys.

I wish i watched this two weeks ago. I was reinstalling pcb screwin stabalizers. Completely reassembled everything. Then i tested. That's when i slapped my face... I didn't seat the stabilizer housings flush enough to the pcb causing the bars to not be parallel and so they jammed (got stuck) when pressed. I had to unscrew the case, remove every cap and switch just to separate the plate from pcb to access the stabilizers. This time i tested just the stabilizers before installing plate, switches and caps. I think this is normal when learning to work with keyboard. It's an initiation.

Most lessons worth learning are learned with some unpleasantness. Therefore, it is strange that most tutorial videos only show how to do it _right_. This video is far more valuable to me since, as I wait for my keyboard and parts to arrive, it is the first that I've seen instructing me on what to avoid doing _wrong_. Thanks.

I put my keycap back on after trying to holee mod my keyboard (i clipped of the short legs off of the stabilizer) i failed to do the mod properly so i took everything out and just put the stabilizer back together and then i put it back in to my keynoard. The keycap doesnt come up after i put it in, ive tried many things and i have checked several times that the wire was in the right hole but it seems that it isnt working. Another thing i noticed that one of the stabilizers was working but the wasnt. Btw i did this all on a eyooso z686 and on the spacebar. I do t know what to do so i would appreciate it kf someone would help me.

I'm new to the world of keyboards, please forgive my innocence... Please enlighten me what is the logic behind doing some modification to the newly bought keyboard, or is it necessary? it might be a dumb curiosity on my end, I do understand that you the creator and all commenters here are keyboard enthusiast, but for me, buying a keyboard and doing some changes is illogical. Don't you get tired doing the mod? Is it worth the time and additional upgrade parts to purchase? Why not buy a keyboard with the sound of your preference as you desire or the feels you might want to achieve. Again, I'm just curious. Please forgive me, i don't intend to spread negativity. Id like to learn from you and all your commenters about keyboard. Thank you! XOXO
