Mushy cherry stabilizers

[Hellcatz]

so I just assemble my gon keyboard and found out that the cherry stabs are really mushy. after spending the last 12 hours soldering lubing and stickering. I really don't feel like disassembling it to clip the stabs to my liking. Is there anyway to fix it without desoldering. the shift key is really bad as it sticks and doesn't rebound. Please help

Unfortunately the only way is to desolder a switch. You don't have to desolder all of them, just enough to free the stabilizers.

aren't they pcb-mount cherries?

(mushiness has other reasons too, at least with cherries, breaking in might solve the issue, just play around with the stab a bit, sometimes the plastic gets smashed and it starts allowing further movement)

Hey I'm exactly im the same position. Just finished assembling and even though I lubed them the stabs feel a little mushy. Not a lot, but it's noticeable comparing to the normal keys. The sound is different and they feel heavier and mushy.

If you find a way to improve it without desoldering everything pls share I'll do the same.

Gon's plates don't have slots for the stabiliser wires, so in most case you have to desolder all the switches and remove the plate... ouch.

You MAY be able to pop the wire off the stabiliser through the mount holes, though, and then pull out the stabs and clip them, but getting the wires and stab units properly back in place will be very difficult, I think.
