You'd better provide some scope for your question. Switch type? Custom or off the shelve? Plate or PCB mounted? ...

From what you can see, I am not a very knowledgeable person in this world, little by little I am learning and I like it more and more. For the switches that I have tried, the ones that I like the most are the tactile ones, I am building my first custom keyboard and bought the kailh speed cooper switches, PCB bm60 RGB ISO, generic plastic case (I would like to buy one of a better quality material , but high profile), I have a typical aluminum plate, custom cable among other things, I would like to know now if you could give me recommendations of the best stabilizers on the market, custom if it is better to make some, the best of the best according to your tastes and those of the community and home if you can it would not be bad, thank you very much everyone for responding

COSTAR = best, smoothest, least friction, least sensitive to slight key cap warp, (All caps have some defect).

That PCB has holes for screw in stabilizers (PCB mount) but the plate could potentially have any of the cutouts seen here in the 'Stabilizer type' section (http://builder-docs.swillkb.com/features/) which may limit you.  There is no 'typical' in the world of custom keyboards unfortunately!

Pictures for the plate and PCB may help people to provide some recommendations.
