205g0

@@samwads.I’m curious though, why do you brush 205g0 there if you’re gonna put dielectric grease in?

I was quite surprised with the wires on the screw in version. They're pretty good. I will be buying more. Can't go wrong with either. But avoid long pole stabs.

@@samwads. Would you say the AP screw-ins are superior?

@@HeK. From the two sets I've used, yes. The screws are unnecessarily long to lol

​@@samwads.Curious why you say avoid long pole stabs

​@@winebartender66531mm extra is way too long for stabs. Bottoming out on the stab not only sounds terrible but feels terrible, in my opinion. Even with 3.1mm travel green jackets, I did not like them.

I have quite a lot of boards, so not all of them make it into rotation. But in general I've only had to slightly touch up a couple of them over the last year.

@@samwads.Ah ok. I've not had much success with stabs across various brands and boards. Across a Tofu65, Space65r3, Link65... I've had issues with ticking. I've used Durock v2's (with 205g0, Holee mod, epsimod, XHT-BDZ), Equalz C3 v3's (holee, epsi, 205g0, BDZ) and now I've been trying to get Owlabs v2's working with just 205g0 on the housings and BDZ. I've lubed them until they've got no more room in them for lube and no matter what I have done, they usually end up ticking because I game with the boards. The left shift and spacebar get abused. So this can take only a few days at best. I only have two sets of caps right now, PBT Notion and GMK Mecha-01 and on my main board with the Owlabs v2's I've gotten better results buuuut I typically seem to still need to relube lightly every so often. I've been holding off on buying TX stabs because I am stubborn but everyone else makes them seem like they are so easy to tune. Sorry for the word vomit, I'm just very frustrated with my experience with various stabs over the past 2-3 years that i've been doing this. I feel like it's me that can't do it right so idk.

No it is not. This is a particularly tight PCB and requires additional help. I use the tweezers regardless to save my thumbs. You're overreacting.

I am not forcing them in by the way. I am firmly pressing down. If you watch, there was a moment where I realized it wasn't lined up and stopped to adjust. If I use my fingers to put these in on this PCB, they still pop in as loud and as hard as they do here.

I've used 20 sets of tx stabs and haven't had an issue. If the clips broke they more than likely weren't dead center in the hole. I could see them breaking if one side was partly still on the pcb and bends/snaps when you press down.

or just snap it in with a finger

@@Shikitera some PCBs are very tight. I find this much easier. No one has to do it my way, but I will continue to do so.

Class65 is actually one of my favorites. Typing feel is soft and very comfortable for long hours and the sound is quite creamy. The leaf spring works quite well. The relief cuts in the middle are pointless tho.

I got the titanium ones

Unsure, but durock and everglide wires are too thick

@@samwads. 👌🏼👌🏼

Under the screen protector? I pressed hard on it for a few hours and it went away. Very sore thumb after tho

I do. While the overall quality is good, it does cause issues with registering presses. If Sony had an option to increase the sensitivity of the screen like my S10e did it wouldn't be an issue. But I cannot find anything like that on this phone. I will continue to leave it on until I can't stand it anymore. But in my opinion that would be a deal breaker prior to purchase. I hope a better one comes along.

And you plug it with lube 😅

It's the 3-2-1 header 😉

What inch pipe you use? 2.5 or 3?

No you do not need to wire balance. Tx stabs have already super good wires. What lube are you using for the wires and the stem?

@@cookie150 krytox 205g0 and syringe with dieletric grease where the video states

@@F13Pty yeah maybe you need to wire balance it is a really advanced option though you could easily mess it up. I am not sure because that lubing method should eliminate all rattle. Maybe add more lube with a syringe krytox205g0 or dielectric grease. You can even add krytox xht-bdz

@@cookie150 tx stabs wires are not as stright as you think, i brought 3 sets so far and 2/ 4 of the 2u wires always need balancing, sometimes even holee mod.

@@pillowrabbit8324 yeah they are. krytox xht-bdz is also really good

I didn't balance the wires, even on spacebar. It could be a few things. Double check that the housing is completely seated into the pcb. If it's raised off the pcb by a little bit it will tick. Also make sure the keycap is fully and equally pressed into the stems. A warped keycap will cause an imbalance. It's also possible there's too much lube as crazy as that sounds. Last resort, I would clean that one stab and redo it if you haven't already.

​@@samwads. thanks, might do it some day just not really looking to clean it out now - it was ticking even before i added the extra lube and usually when i add more lube it ends up feeling sluggish (on other boards i've built) which wasn't the result that i had - tested another keycap as well and have tried to make sure it was flush on the pcb as well - guess i may just have to clean it up whenever i do open up the board one day and just wire balance as a bonus - have you removed the stoppers before and if so was it easy? haven't tried and don't want to send them flying when i do disassemble also, genuine question since you're not the first person i've seen say that - how does too much lube cause ticking?
