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

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
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!

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!
soo chill and relaxing, and really following up with the tutorial, really great vid!
Bro I just followed this guide and the rattle sound is completely gone. Thank you so much, this is incredible
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.
This is so cool. Going to watch this again for my first mod session.

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
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 😭

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
@YBBK
2 жыл бұрын
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.
@solderbuddy

The trick is to use only a little dielectric grease then its not that mushy.

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

Thanks!! this helped a ton.
07:01 my favorite is band aid wrap. :) very effective and fast fixed for cheap mechanical keyboard.
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.

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.

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!
@YBBK
2 жыл бұрын
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.
