Post by: zoolzoo on Sat, 28 December 2013, 16:57:20

If you are really careful, and skilled at operation kind of game it's possible to remove one side at a time, clip, put it back, then do the other side.

Its one thing that isnt a placebo on the pcb mount cherry stabilizers though. And Im one to agree that there are of placebos out there.

Costar stabilizers feel much more solid then cherry stabilizers, I know they're a pain when changing key caps, but I think that's a small price to pay. If the only solution to make cherry stabilizers more tolerable is a mod itself, then the design is obviously flawed.

i dunno.  swapping cherry stabs is a pain in the ass.  cant' ever get both sides to release properly and end up bending the bar (or somehow ruining the feel of the switch)
