Can plate-mount stabilizers be quieted?
« on: Sun, 26 June 2022, 17:25:31 »
I am assembling a silenced keyboard for someone else, and it will probably use plate-mount stabilizers.

In my experience, they can bottom-out pretty loud and hard.

The silent switches are fine, but I don't want loud stabilizers ruining the board. Is it possible to keep stabilizers quiet / from bottoming-out by using O-rings or something?

What comes to mind is lube, bandaid underneath, maybe some of them foam stab pads, I've heard of people cutting up orings and sliding a small piece under stabs.

Hmm. Yes. I figured it might come down to modifying the stabilizers.

stab pads are great.

also ThockPop (very cool vendor btw they are super kind) has the dry hump mod and you can do a modified holee mod which dampens bottom out
