@@mohawk4759 if you want to lube all switches, you have to take them apart, one by one. Will take 4 to 6 hours lol depending on keyboard size, thats completely normal
Hi, I have recently noticed that Teaha is using a new method of clipping and lubricating stabs in his recent live streams and videos, and it would be really helpful if he could make an updated tutorial. Is anyone else wanting a new and updated video?
From what I've seen, Teaha uses a lot less grease and brushes Krytox 205g0 inside on the bars as well as inside the stabs, but a lot less than what is used in the video. Perhaps due to cost.
@@wilderoutdoors That's true for switches, but you don't want to over-lube switches. Stabs are different though where you don't need to worry so much about over-lubing them.
I’ve had these Knipex snips in my Amazon cart for about two months. Got them at neighbour’s garage sale yesterday for .50$. Power of positive thinking.
Wow...this one simple process fixed all the rattling on my stabs...my jaws literally dropped after the first stabs I clipped and lubed cause of the difference it made in the sound and feel. Thanks for the great tutorial!
Finally swapped out the stabs on my very first keyboard (GMMK) and this is a lifechanger - wish I had learned to do this and done this with my very first actual build from scratch which would now require desoldering all my switches. Oh well, I guess it's just a sign of my progression in this hobby, lol.
I just used this video as a guide while fixing the noisy stabs on my new Drop Alt. It was easier/faster than expected and my big keys sound night-and-day better. Thank you.
Fantastic guide! I never knew lubing made such a major improvement! Also I think you could use some macro shots of the components. I understood the guide just fine but I think that it'd be better if I didn't have to squint at the screen trying to find what you're pointing at. Good work overall 👍
if you use krytox 205 g 0 do the same thing as you do with dieletric grease. Trust me it is not enough lube if you just use brush for wire! Nathan now also just puts all wire into lube too - it is the best way
i have to advise advise against excessive amounts of grease to dampen noise. (not hatin'!) it does work, but collects dust and debris that ends up scratching up the plastic over years to come. wrapping the bars with plumber's PTFE tape is the cleaner long and more concervative long term solution. (just make sure to stretch it out fully, or it will wear faster)
It would be great to know where exactly you are putting the tape? The whole bar, just the tip? Just the bend? How many layers do you wrap around? Thanks
Thanks for the guide - I thought I might've been a bit too heavy-handed with the lubricant, but it's really helped my keys be a lot quieter and smoother!
@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 You can definitely overlube stabilizers. I got a second-hand keyboard where the last guy ridiculously overlubed the stabilizer. It's hard to do, but probably a lot easier with Krytox 205g0 than the generic silicone grease. Of course, you can always try wiping / washing the excess off.
About those kinds of stabilizers, if you don't clip off the pointy stems that are on the bottom, it will destroy the PCB and also have a dampening effect with the overall stroke. Not sure. When I pressed on the keys that are stabilized, I felt like a dampening effect on those keys and I think they are coming from the stabilizers. They don't feel like you are pressing it all the way down that you would feel from the switch. The Royal Kludge RK61 has that problem, but when it comes from the Ducky One 2 Mini, the keys with the stabilizers feel awesome! Just like any other key. Also on the RK61, the switches they use are "RK Red" switches. Not really sure what they are, but they are not that good as the "s" key has stopped responding to my strokes. I'd rather go with a company like Cherry that has tested their switches and go with the real deal.
It's honestly crazy seeing the overall quality difference between this version and Taeha's updated version. I mean both are good but.. the 2nd one is much better in my opinion.
@@JFinns That's simply how they were designed (originally by Cherry). I think it was meant to make the bottom-out less harsh. That said, all it really does is make the key feel broken or otherwise wrong. Ever since I began using a keyboard with clipped and lubed stabs (and GMK screw-ins, at that), I've never been able to go back to even well-lubed Costars.
@@TommyFenstermacher5150 Funny thing is GMK screw-in is legit the same as a cherry stabilizer only difference is the screw to secure it better. That being said I like the "cheaper" cherry stabs.
@@ItsZentraGaming I think the screw might inadvertently end up transmitting more shock/sound to the pcb. It's really cool how keyboard design has made people really aware of mechanical engineering and design, showing principles like material stiffness and strength, damping, vibration, and acoustics all in one use-case. I can't think of another popular hobby that brings awareness of physics besides maybe guns. ; )
Great tutorial! That's exactly what a novice like me wants. One question: I don't have Dielectric and Teflon Grease. Can I use Superlube instead? Or is it more recommended to use these two?
For start i have buy superlube multi purpoise oil but it's not the right way definitely, krytox 205 g0 + permatex dielectric grease + band, maybe using superlube on the stem
@@akira8-customkeyboards17 Superlube on switches and stab stems is fine; it's a low viscosity lube that is safe on plastic. It might not be as "smooth" but it won't make it sticky, which is the big fear with switches.
great video ! I don't have the grease yet but I was able to go ahead and clip the stabilizers and that made a bit of a difference ! can't wait to get the grease, thankfully accessing the stabs on the GMMK from PC gaming race is super simple they just pop right on out.
Nathan still uses both Dielectric Grease and Teflon for stab lubing. The big difference between them and traditional switch lubes is their unrivaled viscosity; they're just way to thick for use on switches, yet just thick enough to make a super smooth stab.
@@zach_morgan the only bad thing would be that you used 205g lube for nothing. Test it out, if it does what u want then good, make sure not to put too much since it's thicc. If it doesn't work, use a qtip or something alike to clean it off. When it comes to lubing stuff testing youself is the best way to find answers!
I think the reason two types of grease was used is because the Dielectric Grease would be to thick and would slow the stabs down causing them to be mushy... so use thick Dielectric Grease on the wire and Teflon Grease (thinner) on the fine walls of the stabs.
Can I use Silicone Oil (sw-92sa) in the stabilizers? I know it works on the switches, but I need to know if it works on the stabilizers, thanks in advance
Honestly it sounds better to me without the bandaid mod. Go to 4:55 to hear it without the bandaid, then press 9 on your keyboard to jump to the part with the bandaid and decide for yourself :)
Wow! I've been waiting for this! Thanks for the tips. You are so handsome! You should pivot from keyboard videos and just show your face from now. I definitely want more peace signs. Sick animation!!!
Do you need three different lubricants for your board? I've seen other tutorials do both the stabilizer wires and housing and switches with their g205g0. Will that work?
Edit: read your question wrong at first. No you don’t need to use three different types. 205g is more expensive though so some people prefer to use cheaper greases since you need to use a bit more on the wires.
May I suggest using Medical Tape (roll of cloth or paper of choice) e.g. 3M Micropore Surgical Tape? It leaves no glue marks at all and we could apply multiple layers because the paper one is quite thin.
I've been watching your vods in prep for doing my own DIY keyboard and you are AMAZING! I do wonder though, why you no longer use this method of lubing in your custom builds? Thanks so much for all you do!
It's way too difficult to lube stabs. I've tried on 6 sets of gmk screw-ins and every time the spacebar gets stuck and doesn't return. I wish that a company would just make good stock stabilizers rather than expecting us to do all the dirty work. Also I also wish that someone would make tactile stabilizers and also silent ones - it's almost impossible to make a silent keyboard.
@Ivan It's assembled fine; I just can't get the space bar to return. It's like it's sticking somehow. I've tried using a super thin coat of lube and even going dry; either way, it still sticks.
This is from another comment: "That's simply how they were designed (originally by Cherry). I think it was meant to make the bottom-out less harsh.

@@valentinzunino2127 Plate mounted stabs can be modded exactly as in this video. In fact, plate-mounted stabs are usually the ones that need it the most!
How often do you have to redo the stabilizers or even lubing keycaps for example? Is it something you’d have to do every year or just once and it lasts forever?
What does Taeha use to lube his stabilizers now? I noticed during his more recent, streams he was using some different lube for both the wire and housing.
I just got my hands on Krytox 205g0 so does this mean I can use this on everything? Stabs, Switches, and Springs? Im just kinda confused with so many lubricants and the use of multiple at once. Or do I use the 205g0 on just the stabilizers and Teflon in the switch? Like im in a wormhole here any info I would LOVE.
Really dig the attention to detail. The fact that this has to be a "mod" and not something that the manufacturer produces is disappointing though. I just bought a K95 Platinum and it had the loose/rattling stabilizers. My fix was hot gluing them down and adding a little bit of lube. I am guessing the loose stabilizer is just a characteristic of cherry mx?
after i clipped my stabilizers, and put them back in and put the switch and spacebar back in, the spacebar is stuck all the way down as if someone is holding the space bar down. HOw do i fix this?
I'm trying to bandaid mod. How do you get the paper off the bandaid once you cut it? I have been trying for half an hour. Once you cut it there is no tab and it will not come off. Nothing I can do will expose the adhesive. There is no seam whatsoever between the bandaid and the back paper.
