All Keyboards with Costar Stabilizers
« on: Fri, 06 February 2015, 08:15:40 »
Haven't been active for a while on here....I think it's time to get back in the game.

I am looking for any and all Cherry keyboards with costar stabilizers.

Sorry if this sounds incredibly lazy of me, but please indulge me!

Thanks bros.

Can we get them to build the Alps ten feet higher and get Cherry to pay for it?

KeyCool has Costar stabilisers, at least my year or more old KeyCool 87 with MX switches has.

Can't say about the newer KeyCool with Kailh switches.

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

I haven't removed a stabilised cap from my Kailh KC board yet. But I'm sure CPT Badass mentions it in his review...

Kailh versions of Cherry stabs. You even commented about them in his review ;)

I agree with this, although some boards require that you desolder the switch to get the stabilisers in / out. I consider Cherry stabs to be better than Costar for a few reasons:

1. Less hassle when swapping caps.
2. No problems with thick caps (Costar wires can rub the inside of thicker keycaps).
3. Less rattles, although this seems to be a bit inconsistent, since the spacebar stabilisers from the two Cherry G80 boards I bought are rather rattly whereas my KBT Pure and Ducky G2Pro are much less so. Go figure, I like the "genuine" product less than the "copies".

I hate Costar stabilizers for having to change or move anything. Already pondering leaving all the stabilized keys on when I clean this board out. Took the 0 off numpad recently to check which this has and it took like four tries before I could get it back on without one side of the wire popping out of the stabilizer base while I remounted the keycap. -_-
