Title: Source for Costar Stabs?
Post by: tricheboars on Thu, 20 March 2014, 11:14:35

Hello Gentlemen,

  I need your collective minds to help me for a second. I am looking for some costar stabs for my ergo dox. I nomrally would just pop over to WASD on the ol' intertubes and order me up some stabs but they are out of stock.  I found some on Mechanicalkeyboards.com but the price is completely retarded. 5.50$ for 2 stabs. WTF! WASD sells them for .50 cents and mechanical keyboards sells the same thing for 5 dollars more?  I am not going to pay 22$ for 8 stabs that is beyond retarded.

So do you guys know where i could get some in the next few days from an online souce? thanks i really appreciate it. My ergodox should arrive on monday so i want to be ready to go once i get it.

to encourage you to help me here is a picture of Dolph Lundgren and Grace Jones:

WASD is unfortunately the only affordable option I know of. Have you tried contacting them to ask when they'll restock?

I didn't think people used stabilizers with the ergodox?

yea the 2x caps on the thumb clusters can take costar stabs and I def want them.

i did contact WASD and they said at least a month before they get the clips in stock. bummer. i got the inserts and the wires though.

mk.com is expensive because they package 2 day shipping with each item
