I see, so this is why my TX stabs like to slant left or right (if I press down too hard accidentally). I'm using JWK Epsilons which from my knowledge have slightly longer pole. Tough it really didn't bother me unless, like I said, I accidentally press down too hard on the far side of the stab keys.

[@seriogamarkovas5407]

just came by this video.. I thought if you have sideways play on longer pole switches u could use some o-rings on the sides (glue them on keycap either with cyanocrylate or some silicone or just use plain silicone for the keycap but then its way harder to know what will be the best feel for you ) So I would experiment with different size O-rings

That spacebar is heavenly

[@umutkalem5073]

why is my left space mar al bit loose than the right side can some one help I did the hole mode and I lubed every stab but my left space bar its still tickeling

[@d3nkm3mes35]

how does a long pole stem switch affect the tx stabs? and how bad will it affect it (in this case zakus)?

[@kreebs4652]

For my zakus it doesn’t has any noticeable interference or effects.

[@kadu1029]

All you have to know is see saw

[@pennywise134]

is that spacebar on backwards?

[@haris3817]

can i use long pole tx stab with normal pole switch ?

[@xiserpenz6546]

What jwk switch is that?

[@trenzterra]

When I use TX stabs with my Akko ASA keycaps and Boba U4T, the stab often gets stuck when I press to the left or right of the key. Anyone experience this too? So far putting a thin piece of tape helps things.

[@johnny20939]

Hi! Did you end up figuring out a solution? My stab keys are getting stuck as well and not fully popping back up. It's not due to overlubing so I'm not sure what the issue is.

[@jens468]

@@johnny20939 warped caps.

[@BlockerisLove]

Is it usable for the zakus? or is it too wobbly?

[@kreebs4652]

In my opinion it’s usable.

[@BlockerisLove]

@@kreebs4652 alright thanks kreebs

[@Mr.C0ffee]

Did you clipped the stem?

[@DionMango]

no, the TX stabs already have "Clipped" stabs

[@jackiexu8]

Does staebie (and durock) do the same for long pole switches? or is it only TX?

[@kreebs4652]

Dont think so

[@LeorioForPres]

Is this the 1.2mm version bc I thought that sits properly on thin pcbs

[@Yukeena]

Thats also what I thought. I just ordered some and they should be delivered in a couple of days. Will be making install/test video and see how they perform without stab pads.

[@zkl.]

where did you get the stab pads?

[@kreebs4652]

It’s provided in the zoom65 kit

@@kreebs4652 damn

[@NukeZoned]

this is the harsh long pole bottom out sounds is why I hate long pole stems, kinda sad they are becoming the norm as they all sound very similar in my opinion

[@amizan8653]

I love long pole stems. But hey, there's plenty of regular 4 mm travel switches out there for you.

[@incongruous4]

Yes, "custom" keyboards should all be designed around your single opinion and no one should be able to like any thing else or make different, dare I say customized builds to suit their tastes. Fantastic
