So I got a DK9087 recently and it uses Cherry stabs. They feel really mushy to me (as reported by most people as well) and I've heard some things about a mod you can do eliminate the mush.
I have two questions about that:
1. Does it really work?
2. If so, what exactly do you do?

Yes it works... video/thread (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=34759.msg643126#msg643126)

Also LUBE

Thank you very much. I'll be doing this to my stabilizers when I get home.

My KBT Oni had mushy stabilized keys. All I had to do was lube it and after a day or two it became normal. Really hard to differentiate from my Filco with Costar stabilizers.
-
I've seen those video before but I've always wonder that how hard is it to get those stabilizer "stems" out of the housing to do the mod?
-
You have to pull the switch and the entire stabilizer set out if you're talking about plate mount. If you have a Korean board then you have to dismantle the whole keyboard since they use PCB mount.

Mmmmm sounds like a lot of work.
Oh and I also try cherry stabilizer for the first time today. I went to NCIX and they have a demo CM Storm Trigger for me to play around. I though people were exaggerating but, for the lack of better word it indeed feel mushy when bottom out. Have to say I definitely prefer costar stabilizer better.

If you plan on adding o-rings, I think it is actually better to have cherry stabilizers..
If you don't plan on adding o-rings then I can definitely see where people don't like the difference in the larger keys. Maybe not so much the space bar but definitely the large keys like backspace/Shift/Enter...

I bought like ~500 o-rings for just under eight dollars a few months ago. I set up one of my keyboards, didn't like it, and now they all just sit in their bag. So I definitely don't plan on adding o-rings.
