HI, it's 2024 and I'm still using Gateron stems in Cherry housings.

I’m SO GLAD I found this video. I was about to order and try TWO sets of Ergo Clears on two keyboards, and this video saved me both the money and the annoyance! The note about the Clears having a thicker design so that the keycaps can't be easily pulled off in an industrial environment makes perfect sense and follows Cherry's design ethos. Great job. Thank you!

Oh wow so this is why my caps are breaking, so far 5 have broken, all along the horizontal direction. But I had a feelign the keycaps were just crap because the paint was chipping off too...

Great video! For a long time I wanted to use a mechanical keyboard... cool factor, but ever since the using the original logitech cherries.. i was very disapointed of the wobble just putting my fingers on they keys. Then looking for reviews...a lot of reviewer conveiniently leave this out. I checked out the logitech G915 at a store a few years ago, and I like that type of "not wobble" but 💸💸💸. ff almost a decade.. I've given up on the search now. IMO, The design of most of these have a fundimental flaw.. imo.. being square. they coull easily be metal rount housing. this make holes easier to have manufacturing/molding tolerances. square is hard to manufacture. the cheap housing screems of lazy engineering or that plastic is just too expensive.

Cherry G80-3000 with MX Clears was my first mech keeb and revered till today. Any newer clears aren’t that good so I use browns

Pokemon music always makes me feel some type of way

Can confirm that Geon stem shaver fixes ergo clears... just bought 100 from you today!

Hi, really nice video explaining switch films and it helped me a lot but where did you get those tweezers? 3:34

I'm shocked that it seems nobody has tried completely different designs for stabilizers. Ultimately what it's trying to do is pretty simple. And using a plastic housing to hold a metal wire seems like a pretty cheap way of tackling the problem while introducing an obvious failure point as you demonstrated (deforming the plastic clips with the metal).

stumbled on this video by accident. Now I'll rethink my tactile switch choices

I have dialectric grease and I forgot if I used it on the stabs or not

Where is he? 2 years already

The Durock v2s say they come with this "soulmate" pack? Is it better to use that than doing the holee mod? I see it has some dampening for on the PCB, two pads for each stabilizer housing and a wire pad for the middle of the stabilizer wire. It comes with some smaller pads that go inside of the stabilizer as well.

Are the newly released ergo clears from cherry still suffering from this issue?

geon trimmer can fix this

Real MVP vid, thanks man!

is the tab key the same profile?

I need to know what plays at 1:10 D: is it pokemon music?

I know this video is old, but I'm going to comment anyway. Nothing in my life has confused me more than mechanical keyboards, and lube is just a piece of the massive confusion. I just want to know what I need to buy. If you were me what are you buying to cover all bases for future switches you might purchase, along with the stabilizers and anything else you have to lube. I'm guessing I'm just going to buy Krytox 205g0, Tribosys 3203, and some dielectric grease

Actually, I find Keychron Pro series stabs are quite good...

It's true dielectric grade doesn't adhere so well to the plastic, but one technique I applyied successfuly to my ZealiosV2 was to mix 205g2 with a bit of dielectric grease. That way you can apply a thinner and more evenly spreaded layer than you normaly could. for springs you can also use the bag method to lube an entire bag of springs by using just a bit of krytox and then dielectric grease to make it spread evenly. ZealiosV2 is nylon, so take that into account too. Materials matter. g0 could make sense in tangerines for example, because the friction coefitient of that material is only 0.1 (vs 0.3 of nylon or 0.25 of POM) so there's really no imperfection to mask there, you just want it to go like boop.

how do you install clip-in stabs to a screw-in pcb, for example, i want to install tx clip-in stabs into the kbdfans tofu60 dz60rgb.

Zelda song link? Pls

Just why not testing it in real conditions ?

Do you think that Zeal v2 stabs are better than Durock v2? I got 2 set of Durock, one set is so awful that coudn't eliminate pinging so had to return it. Planning to get Zeal stabs but cant find much information about them. Are they really good or better than others especially durock? Thanks.

That explains a lot of things: I pu MT3 caps on Ergo Clears and was surprised when I changed a cap and ripped half the switch off! Mercifully it still worked, but still... I thought either I messed up or Drop made a bad batch, but this explains it!

I use a Sony camera to film my switches. Sure they look okay when filmed with a smartphone, or not filmed at all, but filming them with a camera seems to give me the best result.

looks amazing!!

For a long time I don't really understand what is housing wobble, until I see this video! IMO film doesn't do much with stem wobble, but 100% do alot on housing wobble.

Only the inflated protrusion of the stem needs to be scraped off with a design knife.

would have been interesting to see the slider inside and the gaps size. Maybe Zeals are tighter.

c sounded the best lol

It seems that 206G2 is better to quiet stabs over the 205G0

I can confirm that the new mx clear hyperglide does not have this issue.

6:53 you meant the kbdfans ones?

Soo cute♥️🧡

Thanks for the vid! Saved me a lot of time trying to figure out if I needed to film my milky yellows or not.

I used medical tape for switch films, sooo hard to do buuuut way cheaper and you can put more on switches that are needs more.. I just takes alot, I mean A LOT of effort and time.

In think you’ve just changed the units on your vernier calipers? Use a ruler to check it. But there’s a button there to change the units between mm and inches. In the video, you have it in inches. Hope that helps, sorry if I’m saying things you already know!

I bought a cheap keyboard with Outemu red switches and has no housing wobble at all!

8:54 song?

fucking mic

hows the long term use on the these UV keycaps with your experience with them?

THANK YOU. I've watched so many mechanical keyboard modding videos lately and it's become a hobby now and want to improve my current keyboard (Corsair k70 cherry red) and the stabs rattle like crazyyyyyy. But NO video I watched explain why people use Super Lube or Permatex dielectric grease or the Krytox and what the difference is. I just had to watch those videos again and see what the common was for stabs. Thank you for giving a TLDR in the description for dielectric grease only really used for stabs :)

There are also tolerance differences between stabs of the same exact make and model, so it's ultimately really difficult to even do true comparisons like these. At the end of the day, we're really splitting hairs here guys. This is a hobby, we all plan to lube our stabs anyway and at the end of the day the lube application could actually make it better or even worse. I bought Zeal because I wanted to try them, that's part of the hobby. These parts are pretty cheap, so spending $15-30 to find what you like and enjoy the hobby is part of the fun. Let's not take things so seriously. At the end of the day, anyone who is not in the hobby is going to roll their eyes at the fact we're dissecting and arguing over not only tiny keyboard components but the even tinier pieces that make up those components. Let's chill.

This is by far the best video on filming I've come across, and in fact one of the best on switches period. Instant sub, super impressive stuff.

God kbd fans y’all can do better

I ordered my Krytox a week ago and it won't be here till the 21st of Mar (Australia) so over a month waiting for it, I've got everything I need to mod my keeb but not the Krytox:( I've got some cheaper 205G0 lube that came with a kit I bought but I'm going to hold off using it. Great video mate.

3:31 little friend wants to join

Checked my gmk wob since I noticed it was coming off slightly more easily. Noticed some small cracks on the stems, not sure if it is from my ergo clears that I had the set mounted on a few times or just from being used for the past 2 years heh.
