Title: Tenkeypad with Costar stabilizer?
Post by: nickatnite on Tue, 14 January 2014, 18:17:26: Quick question. Does anyone know of a tenkeypad with Costar stabilizers, preferably in MX red or blue? Thanks!

Some people prefer the feel of costar. I don't think those people have tried clipped cherry stabilisers... :))

clipped cherry stabs help, but it's not enough.. You have to really shave down the insert stem for it to at all come close to Costar crisp-ness.

With Cherry if you get a cap that's even slightly bent.. You're going to get mushy-ness near end of the keystroke..

I don't agree with you on that one. I find that clipped cherry stabilisers feel crisper and nicer than costar all the time.

As demik said.. it's all preference ;)

Unpossible... cherry is generally not as crisp because it has more contact with the stabilizer guides .. This has nothing to do with clipped vs unclipped.

Post by: rowdy on Sat, 18 January 2014, 19:35:19: Or get a fullsize keyboard and cut the keypad section off.

Maybe team up with someone who it making a TKL board from a fullsize one. Maybe someone making SSK? First ever BS keypad!
