Title: Clicking cherry stabilizers, really loud. Help!
Post by: masher997 on Sat, 05 April 2014, 16:25:48

I have a corsair k70 and the stabilizer on the right is making a loud clicking noise while the one on the left is fine. Has anybody else had this problem? and if so how did you fix it? It is to loud for me and I cant stand it at all. Btw switches are cherry MX browns and the stabilizers are cherry's.

here is a video of it

I have the exact same problem and it's annoying the hell out of my on my QFR reds.

EDIT: oops, how'd that show up there?

You can fix this by lubing the stabilizers. Ripster has a guide here (http://imgur.com/a/nsEDr/). I use this stuff (http://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=access,misc&pid=mechlube) or Krytox GPL 205 grease mixed with a small amount of Krytox GPL 103 oil, probably a 70/30 or 80/20 mix.

Yeah it is really annoying. I thought that lube would only work for squeaking keys but ill try it  thanks!
