Revisions

Rev. 2: Inserts were revised to fit more PCBs.

Rev. 3: More colors + a new variant to fit 1.2T PCBs. 1.6T is the standard spec so most PCBs are 1.6T. The only 1.2T that came to my mind is probably the Polaris. Please check your PCB spec before buying.

Rev. 4: Named "AP" aka "Almost Perfect". Has multiple improvements in housing and stem to make the wire fit better as well as even less wobbling and noise.

Introduction

Introducing the "Almost Perfect" TX Stabilizers!

Implementing a patented technology, kin25 of TX Keyboard has improved the design of Cherry clip-ins to minimize rattling and prevent wire pop-out (using stab stoppers included with the set). The patented design features a double shot stabilizer stem with a POM outside and TPU & POM mixture inside. This mixture helps to minimize wire rattle and bottom out noise.

The best stabs ive used

TX AP Stabilizers

Mekibo is AP!

Package arrived undamaged and accurate to order within a short notice!

Did not fit

Did not work on my Montech Mkey keyboard. I'll still leave a good review but hopefully somebody reaches out to me and helps me get the right part

Great Stabs

What's to say, they just worked. Better than Durock V2 for sure. I tried those and then they sucked so I tried these and they're great, simple as that.

Easy to mod and use

TX has been my go to stab since v1 and they have only improved. The TX AP stabs are the easiest to mod of any stabilizer I have ever used and make a formerly frustrating part of building easy.

I don't know what happened to the stems, but they do not fit MT3/SA Profile keycaps

I think the tolerances are either loose, or it's just straight up incompatible with certain keycaps such as SA/MT3

staple, will never use anything else, unless these are deigned seasonal, which one hopes not

Best on the market

I don’t use anything else anymore.

Current go-to

TX AP stabs have become my go-to for ease of use and repeatability. I’ve had no run ins with previous “skill issues” sometimes encountered using other stabs or even TX v1/v2 revisions. I will never forget the emotional damage incurred while fumbling to get the stab stopper into the housing on stream with V1 last year. AP has solved my skill issue problem.

If you have used the previous versions, then the AP version feel like that 10 percent steady incremental improvement. Housings tolerances are just the right blend of being tight while still being smooth without binding and require very little lube. Wire clip points can be slightly tight but I have found snapping wires in and out is a method to work it in without waiting for repeated use. Also I am using less XHT-BDZ on wires and suggest an even lighter coating than the previous v3.
