TX stabilizer test: Compared w/ Pretooled Cherry stabilizer

[@kcxy1996]

You have really high expectations for your spacebar stabs, i would take that modded spacebar stab any day of the week

[@62tology]

It might be more than needed but I'm still not good enough to perfectly solve the problems related to the stabilizer.

[@PrinceNavy_]

i just put these in my space65 with tangies, some of the best sounding stabs i have ever built with, highly recommend

[@zzaaiidd.]

Do you know if you can use durock wires in them?

[@PrinceNavy_]

@@zzaaiidd. you can, I wouldn’t recommend it tho as the stock wires are excellent

[@James-tm6ku]

my spacebar is basically the same as u but just its steabies, idk why but the sound is higher pitched on the left and lower on the right for my spacebar stab

[@62tology]

In general, the left sound and the right sound cannot be exactly the same no matter how well tuned it is. However, if the difference is outstanding, the following factors might be suspected as the causes: keycap, wire, switch, plate. If the keycap is not flat, it should be fixed as much as possible by immersing in hot water and bending. The wire balancing is essential. Adjust the wire to the left and right as well as the up and down. Also it is recommended to change the wire to another wire. It is best to use a smooth and filmed cherry switch. If you do not have such a cherry switch, it is important to keep the switch as close to the pcb as possible when soldering. In addition, it is necessary to make sure that the hook on the switch is well hung on the plate. (Why? Please refer to kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5fRmYafopuApNk) The spacebar tuning is always annoying and difficult. Good luck.

[@sxnthwave]

The spacebar sounds good through video but any tics and rattles will probably be more present in the sound profile when the keyboard is right in front of you

[@kubkodev]

Please what did you use to lube wires on TX stabs? 205G0, BDZ or dielectric? Thanks!

[@62tology]

205g2 in the video.

[@reviewforthetube6485]

I'm actually happy about tx stabs. Finally stabs that sound like cherry lol just keep on mind everyone the cherry he showed was In a baoed but I've always used cherry stabs tx have been a nice finding for me since I do enjoy them cherry and tx are the only stabs I've used that have the pop that I look for without sounding overly thin I love clack but don't want my stabs sounding thin

[@PrinceNavy_]

Why are the tx stabilizers not compatible with long pole switches? Wanted to use them with creampacas

[@62tology]

A cream stem of a frankenstein switch makes total travel short so both sides of a keycap are not completely put in the inserts of the stabilizer. It only(not sure) appears when you use the TX stabilizers. Probably you cannot use them with creampacas.

[@PrinceNavy_]

@@62tology thanks for the reply! have you been able to test this? i'm curious why it only happens on tx stabilizers, compared to cherry clip ins or durock stabilizers

[@62tology]

@@PrinceNavy_ It is difficult to show the phenomenon because there is no pcb to assemble now. The reason is as described above. This is because the product was designed for standard switches like Cherry. You can refer to the image including a holy panda switch at TX korea site below. txkeyboard.com/store1/?idx=132

[@Isutaki]

Can anyone confirm this? I was gunna use with creamsicles…. I think it’s fine right?

[@auzabraar]

I tried using JWK Epsilon which has a long pole stem on my spacebar and when i press the sides of the keycap it's like a seesaw. Haven't tried it on the 2u keys but i assume it'll have the same problem.

[@jarylwjl]

why do you say that tx stabs are not compatible with long pole stems?

[@62tology]

As the switch travel is shortened due to the long pole stem, both sides of the keycap are not entirely assembled simultanenously.

[@jarylwjl]

@@62tology it would be same for all stabilizer I think?

[@happybeing777]

@@jarylwjl it is the same for all stabs. quite hard to balance

[@rando843]

@@happybeing777 I mean if it's the same for all stabs then why is it worth pointing out as "not compatible" lol

[@d3nkm3mes35]

how bad is it if you were to use long pole stem switches on tx stabs

[@62tology]

The left and right sides are not completely fastened at the same time so the stabilizers are staggering like seesaws.

[@2b2c1d2]

Can you do tx stabs with holee mod

[@62tology]

I have no idea but I don't recommend the holee mod in this case. The selling point of the tx stabilizer is the inside material of the inserts. The holee mod is no less of not using that material.

[@george8920]

what's Pretooled vs re-tooled ?

[@62tology]

zealpc.net/collections/all-products/products/authentic-cherry-pcb-plate-mount-gold-plated-stabilizers?variant=2705537 Pretooled: plastic film in insert hole(Authentic Cherry Insert) Retooled: no plastic film in insert hole

[@axiechronous9800]

what stabilizer can you suggest for very long pole stem switches?

[@62tology]

I think that the pretooled cherry stabilizer is the best but unfortunately not in stock anywhere in the world. There will be new tx stabilizer set for long pole switches before long. It seems to be good substitute.

[@ZaneoxYoutube]

what wire do you recommend for tx stabs? are durock wires okay?

[@62tology]

Whatever you like!

[@NikhilGarlapati]

you don't recommend using tx wires? what wires do you recommend using?

[@62tology]

It is said that the TX wires will be improved from the next inventory. I usally use wires of Cherry but you can change whatever you want including TX.

[@NikhilGarlapati]

@@62tology would og cherry wires from a 1998 cherry board with clip in stabs be the same as the wires you are talking about (and thus better than TX wires)? Also you mentioned preferring pretool cherry being better for spacebar, does that also include the stabilizers I am talking about (og clip in cherry stabs from a lasered cherry board from 1998?)

[@62tology]

@@NikhilGarlapati 1. Yes, but I'm not sure if the cherry wires are always better for everyone than the TX wires. 2. Yes, they are the pretooled stabilizers. But I don't think I will use them because plastic films are already damaged.

[@tianlamian]

wow that spacebar isnt good enough for you? that's already better than most of my builds i spend hours on 😭

[@62tology]

I cannot merely allow the rattle from both ends of the spacebar. And I also usally spend a lot of time modding the spacebar. Still difficult for me.

[@PANTEATER-tc9jf]

u have some nice boards !!

[@62tology]

I'm glad to hear that.

[@cashionsteven5695]

hi there, are the tx in the video stock or lubed?

[@62tology]

All lubed.

[@green2gamma]

is this the Jer1800 or the G80 ? if its the Jer1800 im gonna follow the same exact setup :D

[@62tology]

Cherry G80-1800 :)
