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

[@YBBK]

thank you! always working to create better content :)

[@hugopfeffer4175]

Exactly! When I see videos like these I thought to myself "like the stems ain`t that small". Oh boy, was so wrong. Mine at least is small af.

[@MRBURNTTOAST111]

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

[@coral5167]

As a beginner to mechanical keyboards with no lube, this mod really helped make my spacebar sound as decent as it would with lubing stabilizers, so ty for that :)

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.

[@SnakeJuice]

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!

[@YBBK]

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!

[@raydenibarrola4162]

yes

[@cjrusjerles9075]

so you mean i can only do either the holee mod or the clipping? (as an example)

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

[@jashuito]

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

My rk61 space click used to feel so cheap When i did this tutorial ( didnt even lube it) its like a new brand keyboard with different click feelings Im not overreacting when i see its even gives a better experience in gaming too Thanks for this perfect tutorial

[@raydenibarrola4162]

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]

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.

[@desology111]

first time modding my keyboard and this tutorial helped a lot! thanks!!

[@YBBK]

[@Foervraengd]

got my first mechanical keyboard yesterday and its not hotswappable, and all the tutorials I looked up all told me to remove the switch... which I cant ;_; so I'm really happy you included that last segment thank you so much

[@YBBK]

No problem! Congrats on the new keyboard lol. However, that segment isn't as detailed as I would have liked it to be. I kind of rushed it. Please refer to alexotos guide, its much more in depth: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKbRpaqPf9WGi7s

I really appreciate the amount of effort you took to make this video

[@YBBK]

Thanks! I still have alot to learn and striving for better quality content :)

[@plw1337]

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.

[@YBBK]

I have noticed other people doing it however, it causes the stabilizers to feel mushy and less satisfying imo. Ig it’s preference but I recommend against doing that

[@nadidas2100]

@@YBBK i second this, it does cause mushiness in my experience as well, which is why I opted out of using the stock stabilizer pads that came with my Kbd67 Lite R3.

This took me a few hours and a lot of brain cells, but my space bar sounds a lot better now even without any grease or lube. I also added pieces of tape on the PCB where the stabillizer makes contact, not sure if that did anything.

[@YBBK]

Nice! IMO, the tape on pcb part makes the stabilizers feel mushy but it really depends on preference

[@TheG2Z]

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.

[@YBBK]

Haha thanks! The other stabilizers should be able to open as well. You might need to try more force or get a flat head screwdriver and pry under while pushing on the latch

[@cendbe]

Hey man, this is the most helpful vid I have seen yet, and I appreciate you helping me out. I just have one question. When using the space bar, the right side is significantly more mushy than the left. Any idea why?

[@TechReviewsTV]

Have you tried both the holee mod and band aid wrap on the wire together as one? What would happen

[@YBBK]

It wouldn’t work as there will be no space for the wire

[@dautolover]

The bandaid wrap fixed very stubborn rattling on my space bar, but at the cost of mushiness. I have to open up my keyboard again and see if I can apply thinner tape, since the bandaid that was used for this is kind of thick.

[@SunnyBoi.]

Yo, I have the same problem! I think the thickness of the tape I used greatly contributed to the mushiness of the whole thing. Damn, I wish I did more research about this.
