This video has an excellent description of properly seating keycaps on stabilizers. This is something that I rarely see people mention in their guides and I'm really happy to see it here because it can have a huge impact on your stabs and it can get your 5-sided dyesub caps working if they're warped. I have some things I disagree with, but it's just because I have different preferences with my stab tuning (I prefer the stab to bottom out, so I clip my cherry differently. I also have a very different lube method that I like). I'm really glad this video exists and I'll be pointing people here.
I used to spend multiple days on my stabs days! I swear! I convinced my self it was the worst thing about this hobby and litteraly made me give up on my passion but I found that it’s not that hard. Your video is amazing
Big W video, probably one of the best stab guides I have seen on youtube - going to start implementing some of these little tweaks for all my future boards.
2:45 is so real. i hate when stabs are too tight. sure, it's easier to make them not rattle and ticking, but losing out top out sound just makes it sound weird
@@Hemi790 yea I tried looking but this is pretty much the only video/discussion about tx ap having this specific issue he was talking about. I personally have issues with tx ap but not for the same reasons he’s stated.
@@mattheww6139 I did my own testing and I think the video is right. TX stab stems seem to be longer than usual even the regular pole ones...shit I might have to go back to using durocks lmao I've used up all my c3 stabs
I’ve used TX ap regular length and I’m not a fan of them either. There’s no rattle and the wires are very straight, but the do bottom out like in the vid and adds noise to the stabilizer. It’s not necessarily a bad sound but imo I prefer stabs that don’t add additional noise.
You mentioned that the orientation of how you tune the wires matter, after you tune the wires on a flat surface, does it face down and go into the stab or face up?
Great video! If you don't mind a bit of feedback, your voice was really quiet during the video. I think both increasing voice volume but also actually raising your voice into the mic would really help. But I learned a lot, thank you!
Very great tutorial, though the TX AP stabs you got should be the long pole version. I have normal HG cherry mx switches with tx stabs and i do not have the problem of the stabs bottiming out before the switch at all.
*over-complicates the lube, then ends up having to add more using the syringe like he should have done to begin with* *didn't even put the keycaps on right* b e s t w a y b t w
