Title: Where to find 4u stabilisers
Post by: reovadea on Sun, 01 October 2017, 15:18:00

Hey there,

I am currently thinking about making a custom layout keyboard to best fit my needs. As planned at the moment it uses a 4u spacebar. I have the cap for that but I cant find a stabiliser for that. Does someone know where to find that?

Regards

Cherry?

You have a 4u cap? Any pictures?

All Cherry caps that need stabilizers either use 2u (backspace, enter, shifts, etc), or spacebar sizes.

My mistake of course, it is 4.5u  ;)



So just bend one myself?

Yup.  Dubro EZ Bender, with a die large enough for the wire (piano type).
