MX-Stabilizer Space (6.25 or 7.0) - 1€/pc. $1.35/pc.
[attachimg=1]


Same price for PCB or PLATE versions with both options available. MOQ for each size is 100.

GMK is offering us a rather nice deal on some surplus PCB with MX black. These are an 1800 style PCB that will come preconfigured for ANSI but also support ISO layout.

They lack a controller but have a convenient pin header that could be used to hook up a teensy or similar. As assembled they would be 2KRO. The 3 lock switches have support on the PCB for in switch lock lights.
Price will be €15/ea with approximately 300 pieces available. This option is now added to the order form as of 24 July. If you would like to add this item please just resubmit the form.

Buyer will be responsible for payment of goods, shipping costs, for all paypal fees, and an additional $1 groupbuy fee. You will be billed and all orders collected via paypal in USD. All orders will be sent via USPS. Shipping fees will vary based on what is ordered and it's destination. I will not be liable for uninsured/nontrackable orders damaged or lost during shipping.



Orders (total):
2.x PCB - 2500
2.x PLT - 2600
6.25 PCB - 500
6.25 PLT - 600
7 PCB - 400
7 PLT - 350
PCB w/ MX blacks - 60

FAQ:
Q: Can I combine this with my DOLCH or DARK PBT order? A: Yes, this will be done automatically and you won't be charged additional shipping (unless you order in large volume then you will be charged the difference).

Am I right to assume 1x unit = 2x plastic levelers + 1x wire?  That is to say, 1x unit will be all the parts needed to stabilize exactly 1 key?

Ivan, who made those stabs and wires exactly? Can I assume those stabs and wires are the same as those on original Cherry board? I got some stabs and wires that are not made by Cherry/GMK before and they are not good at all. Just want to make sure they are original Cherry stabs before I jump in. Thanks!

OK. I will get a groupbuy thread for stabilizer started soon. GMK says they have LOADS of them on hand so there shouldn't be any problem fulfilling our demand.

They're from GMK.

Thanks. Yeah I saw that post earlier. What I'm really concerned about is, are these stabs and wires same as original Cherry ones. I guess the plastic part must be the same but are the wires the same spec as the original ones?

Except those are Costar stabilizers, not Cherry. Not the same thing. Plate Mounted Cherry Stabilizers =/= Costar. Here's some pictures showing the differences.

Mostly I only care about the address being all in the same order so it's quick and easy for me to copy into stamps when making the mailing labels. Some countries have things in different orders and sometimes it's kind of ambiguous.
This is fine
name
123 street
town, state/province
post code
country

or this is fine
name, 123 street, town, state/province, post code, country

MOQ already reached on both 2.x and 6.25 plate. Half way there for the others.
Title: Re: Cherry Stabilizers
Post by: xavierblak on Fri, 18 July 2014, 18:27:12
I never actually used a plate mount cherry stab. Where does the wire go, above or below the plate?

Does it make sense to buy one type over the other if you aren't sure where it's going to be used yet? Like how you could buy cherry pcb mount switches but clip the plastic nubs and basically convert them to plate mount.
Title: Re: Cherry Stabilizers
Post by: IvanIvanovich on Fri, 18 July 2014, 18:33:25
Wire goes under the plate. They're cheap, so you could always get a set of each types just in case.

Only 2x.  2x stabilizers are used for a number of different sized keys (backspace, both shifts, enter, and numpad + and enter).

Are plate mounted or PCB mounted more common for custom keyboards? (PCB mounted is I believe? but I am not sure.)

In general, PCB mounted is much more common.  I'd say basically all Korean customs use PCB mounted. 

Phantom and Ergodox are two popular customs that you might need plate mounted stabs for.  But it might be a moot point anyway since stabilizers are optional for Ergodox and you can use costar stabs (easier to find) with Phantom.

This is the Cherry MX datasheet hosted by digikey.com (http://media.digikey.com/pdf/Data%20Sheets/Cherry%20PDFs/MX%20Series.pdf). Page 10-4 has all the information on the stabilizers. Cherry calls them "leveler kits". There is also information on this in the Simple Questions Simple Answers OP (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=40501.0#post_Stab).
Title: Re: Cherry Stabilizers
Post by: IvanIvanovich on Sat, 19 July 2014, 12:16:57
If your board uses Cherry type stabilizers what is offered here is going to work for the vast majority of keyboard models. The only exceptions being any that use odd sizes like 3, 4.x, 5.x, 6.0 since those wire lengths are not available here.
As far as adapting Costar to Cherry... it is possible but would require considerable effort. You would have to disassemble the entire thing and modify the plate or have a new plate made with the appropriate stab cut outs.

Title: Re: Cherry Stabilizers
Post by: IvanIvanovich on Sun, 20 July 2014, 09:51:43
ISO or JIS need one less 2.x as there is one less shift key that requires a stabilizer. 6.25 and 7 have different size wires so they are not interchangeable.

If you want to change your order resubmitting is the way to do so.

The only functional difference is that the plate-mounted snap to the plate instead of to the PCB. They work and feel the same.

The parts that snap to the plate/PCB are not interchangeable. You can't put PCB-mounted in a plate-mounted keyboard and vice versa.
There are exceptions in DIY keyboards where a plate would be optional there are sometimes extra large holes in the plate to allow the PCB-mounted stabs to be fitted.

yes. you can buy a phantom plate and install it on your filco at the same time. bphinay also makes and sells programable contollers for it also.

You cannot use a phantom plate (http://deskthority.net/w/images/2/2c/PHANSI125.jpg) on a Filco keyboard due to the controller (or any other keyboard where the controller is on the top). You need a universal TKL plate (http://i.imgur.com/1JifDzR.png) for those keyboards.

Looking at totals, the spacebar to 2x ratio is ~.42.  Doesn't that already seem high given the standard TKL board has a .25 ratio?

Obviously the 2.x is going to be way higher than spacebars as we have a 4:1 ratio at minimum for 60%, 75% and TKL and a 7:1 on fullsize. I also haven't gotten the numbers for existing stabs orders from the GH60 buy yet. It's only the way it's going we can get a volume price break. It's already there for the 2.x just would like to see it for the spacebars too.

Double my tiny qty of 7x and 6.25x (I don't recall what I submitted to begin with or I'd submit a new one!)

I encourage anyone else to do the same. Spacebar stabs aren't so easy to find as a 2x. Get yourself 1:1 space to 2x, or you'll be crying when your 10th project board has everything but a spacebar

Are plate or PCB mounted stabilizers more common in custom boards? IIRC, PCB mounted stabilizers are, but I want to double check before I order anything.

I would check plate cutout compatibility. If your plate can use plate stabs you might want to go that way as they generally feel less 'mushy' since the bottom of the inserts don't come into contact with anything when bottoming them out.

GMK is offering us a rather nice deal on some surplus PCB with MX black. These are an 1800 style PCB that will come preconfigured for ANSI but also support ISO layout.
(http://i.imgur.com/haeRIi0.jpg)
(http://i.imgur.com/dxSM4vR.jpg)
They lack a controller but have a convenient pin header that could be used to hook up a teensy or similar. As assembled they would be 2KRO. The 3 lock switches have support on the PCB for in switch lock lights.
Price will be €15/ea with approximately 300 pieces available. This option is now added to the order form in the OP.

Another similar PCB in a matrix layout may also be offered. I will let you know when I have further details on that one.

So, in theory, since this has no controller of its own, you could replace all the in-switch jumpers with in-switch diodes to get NKRO using a Teensy, right? Count me in.

I can't tell if those jumper pads have traces going to them, though. It looks like maybe they don't. :(
Title: Re: Cherry Stabilizers
Post by: IvanIvanovich on Thu, 24 July 2014, 12:47:32
No I don't think there are traces for diodes on those PCB. Perhaps with the right firmware you could get more than 2KRO but probably less than 6KRO as is. Low KRO isn't so much of a deal breaker if you're not going to use it for gaming. If you really wanted to I suppose you could semi rewire the matrix with jumper wire to make it work for 6KRO+.  Short of that can always pull off the cheap MX blacks for something else.

Yeah at that price, those MX Blacks are a steal. Plus you get a free PCB. I might pick this up if I can decide that I want mx blacks over clears on my phantom... I just can't make up my mind yet. I'd be putting 68g gold plated springs from Sprit in it. Oh the choices!  :confused:

BTW, that PCB would not fit into a real G80-1800, but it would take the same stabilisers and keycaps as one.
The Space Bar would have to be a Cherry/GMK type... 6 units wide and offset switch stem, but there are no 6-unit stabilizer available in this group buy ... ;)

I'd say that PCB is for someone who wants the switches or wants to mod it to build one with a large number of function keys or cut the PCB up to make a smaller keyboard in some custom layout.

Because on a real G80-1800 there is some space in-between groups of keys, space that I can not see here.

On this PCB you can see an unbroken row of nine one-unit keys on the bottom row. On a real G80-1800, that row is broken: the cursor keys are forward and with space around to the main area and to the numeric keypad. There is also space between Return and the numeric keypad on a G80-1800. There is also 1/4u space between Esc and F1 and between each function-key group.

BTW, I think you would need a Teensy++ if you are going to support all keys. A regular Teensy doesn't have as many I/O lines as this keyboard has header pins.
I think this keyboard could be great cheap PCB to cut up into a custom 70% or whatever. I am tempted to buy one just for that.

I'm really not sure the shipping price as I do not know the weight, but I will assume it will be at least $20 for international if they have to be shipped from USA. If there are enough international buyers I will see if I can get some proxy re-shipping partner in DE or elsewhere that has more advantageous shipping rates.

For the Massdrop ErgoDox, you would want Costar-style plate-mount stabilisers instead. Cherry-style stabilisers won't fit.

You wouldn't order unless you think  you will have a DIY project where you would need them. ;) It depends on the PCB and/or plate you choose. The merits of Cherry vs. Costar-style plate-mount stabilisers has been discussed at length in other threads ... The feel of PCB-mounted and plate-mounted Cherry-style stabilisers is about the same because the parts are mostly the same.

Post by: whiskytango on Thu, 31 July 2014, 09:28:29
Please take this for what it's worth. I have some screw in PCB stabs pulled from old WYSE boards. Perhaps the design has now changed, but the footprint of those older screw in stabs was larger than the more modern snap-ins I have. I tried to use these stabs under a universal plate with the stab holes that are supposed to fit costar or plate mount cherry stabs, but the body of the screw-in stabs were too big to fit through the holes in the plate. The newer snap-in stabs I had did fit.

All I am saying is that if you are planning on running the screw-in type under a plate with the universal stab cutouts, it might be wise to make sure these fit. If your plate is meant to be used with PCB mount stabs like the Korean style, I don't think it would be an issue either way.

Has anyone else had this issue? Does anyone know if the newer screw-in PCB stabs have the same footprint as the snap-ins?

Post by: swill on Thu, 31 July 2014, 10:33:10
As per JD's point earlier.  If I want more than 2KRO, I will need to hand wire diodes to the jumper holes and complete the matrix with wire (because there are no traces to the jumper holes).  Is this accurate?  Is there anything else I will have to do to get more than 2KRO?  I know I am also going to have to find a way to wire a teensy to this as well since there is no controller.

Quick question.  What spacebar size does the PCB take? (6.25 r or 7u)
Just trying to figure out which stabs to order for the PCB.

Apologies if this was mentioned elsewhere on the thread (didn't see it).

thanks

The PCB requires 6 units spacebar stabilizer... which isn't available here. Easy solution to this issue is if you need keycaps for it also to grab a G81-7000 or winkey 1800 as it will also come with the correct 6 units wire length.

It may be possible to get 4 or maybe even 5 kro if the firmware is done right without having to do any manual work on the PCB. There are a few G80 models and others that managed to do that without using diodes so it should be possible. But I am not a firmware expert.

As far as case. I agree that a simple tray type should be the cheapest. It could be done like Poker or even cheaper would probably to do it like the Neo where the pcb is essentially just mounted on top of an angled slab.

If I can figure out how to get better than 2KRO, I will be getting one of these.  I will be building my own minimal case (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=51872.msg1144912#msg1144912) for it.

If it's got that offset bend in the middle it won't work with a plate. It will still work on a pcb without a plate though.

Are the bolt ones 100% compatible with PCB mount PCBs?  If yes, then maybe, but if not then I don't see how that would work.  Can we get more details on the bolt ones and how they are expected to work?  I know for my PCBs I am not sure how the bolt one would work...
Title: Re: Cherry Stabilizers + MX blacks PCB
Post by: Grendel on Tue, 05 August 2014, 16:23:23
Physically I believe they are compatible. Keep in mind that when using the screw mounted ones traces and groundplanes need to be further away from the holes to clear the screw heads. I would prefer the clip-in's for this reason.
Title: Re: Cherry Stabilizers + MX blacks PCB
Post by: IvanIvanovich on Tue, 05 August 2014, 16:27:58
Besides Cherry G80 models, the only other thing I ever used bolt ons is the GH60 rev A I have. The only real difference I think they have now is they use a bolt instead of the clip in (obviously) which makes them much harder to unseat but maybe more likely to damage the PCB? The original ones like i have didn't have those little shocks under the stem insert pieces either which made them feel better but I don't think this is the case anymore. So, I think they are all the same really. As far as the ones I have, the base that makes contact with the PCB seem to be the same dimensions so it shouldn't really matter.

Cool. Thanks for the detail. I think it is probably fine to replace the PCB mount ones with the PCB bolt mount ones then (if they are available).

I'm stupid when it comes to building a board so I have to ask if besides building a board without a plate is there any instance I will need a 6.25 PCB mounted wire/stab set with the curved offset in the middle?

That's what I thought too, which is why I'm confused as to where this demand is coming from.  AFAIK there are few boards that will accept them and they usually come with them.

My understanding is that the bolt uses the same hole on the pcb. Instead of the expansion tabs fitting down into the hole, the screw mounts into the plastic from the bottom of the pcb.

My interest in this GB stems from exactly the same problem. When I built my TrikX I used the stabs and wires that Team Redline include with the PCB, Case, etc. To be fair, they included way more wires than I needed but now I'm thinking it's because they were manufactured by a third party (the wires, at least, if not the Stabs also).

Most of them are working very well (and they are much, much better than the Plate Mounts that came on my Leopold .. my first mech... back when EK first swapped over from Filco) with one exception: my numpad zero: the wire on that stab always pops out when I pull that key off. Fortunately, I've settled on my favorite colorway (WoB) and they have stayed put from some time. Also fortunately, this stab wire has to be the best stab wire to have this problem with: I can just take the PCB and that stab wire is right down there are the edge of the board and I can pop it back in with precision screwdriver.

That said... I am hoping that my problem is merely that the OD of the stab wires that Trik provided is (however slightly) too small and that swapping this out with a (hopefully) closer-to-spec stab wire from Cherry sorts this all out.

Cheers,

K

If I make mistake on invoice just inform me. You can email respond to the invoice also which will likely get my attention sooner and I don't have to hunt through paypals terrible site to locate it. Same goes if you require change, it's no problem to do so before you pay invoice.

Just noticed something interesting on the boards. The left Shift, Enter and \| switches are mounted sideways. AFAIK, Cherry keycaps don't fit properly on a sideways switch, at least I know my SP DCS caps don't (the "vertical" slot is too short and thin to fit on the "horizontal" bar of the cross). It doesn't really bother me since I'm going to be harvesting the switches, but I thought I'd point it out.

Title: Re: Cherry Stabilizers + MX blacks PCB
Post by: IvanIvanovich on Wed, 20 August 2014, 11:17:08
Using Cherry caps sideways switch is no problem. I have sideways switch on my GH60 rev A model, and even had a keyboard once where every switch was that way that came with Cherry doubleshot. Maybe it's a problem on other manufacturer keycap, I don't know since I haven't tried it with imsto or Leopolds since neither sets fit my GH60 100%.

Hey Ivan, just got your invoice. I got charged for shipping cost. Will it not be shipped with my Dolch order or did I order so many stabs that you have to send an extra package?

How much were you charged?

My invoice said 2$ for shipping for about 40 stabs that will be shipped with my Dolch Set. I think that's totally neglectable :)

Paid!  :thumb:

Post by: Oobly on Wed, 20 August 2014, 11:58:58
Ah, just realised it was the Keycool PBT caps that didn't fit sideways. SP DCS caps do fit no problem, as do Cherry brand caps. So it's not an issue.

Title: Re: Cherry Stabilizers + MX blacks PCB
Post by: IvanIvanovich on Wed, 20 August 2014, 14:43:06
Shipping cost is a bit tricky... checking 3 other sheets and then determining if already paid postage from prior buys covers weight bumps based on what you ordered here. For the most part there should be no additional shipping for 1-3 sets of stabs. 4+ sets may or may not have small amount additional shipping depending on which buy(s) you are also in that will be combined shipped and how much the postage there was. 6+ sets will have some additional shipping fee. PCB will absolutely have an additional shipping fee since it is heavy.
Mistakes were bound to happen and have. If you feel I am wrong don't hesitate to bring it to my attention BEFORE you pay as it is a little easier for me.

Sorry, hard to get a decent photo of black switch black PCB in big box. 3 smaller boxes of stabilizers and the little box inside the last box is nothing but tiny bolts for the PCB mount stabs... that I have to put in each damn one.

The first thing I thought of when I read Ivan's last post (all of those tiny bolts) is the tools that Pharmacists use to count pills: those small, raised trays with the trough running alongside it: that's exactly the sort of tool I'd like to have if I was sorting through material like this.

Ivan, if you want one of these PM and I'll have one shipped to you straight from Amazon.

Tiny bolts?  Where do the tiny bolts go?  I am unfamiliar with tiny bolts on PCB-mount stabs.

Also, I am about to order bulk stabs from GON, so if you have cancellations or spares, I am happy to pay for them!

These are slightly different than the normal clip on PCB stabs most people are familiar with.

You are kidding right? Or are you just a troll?

 This group buy hasn't been going on for 6 months (first post was almost 4 months), payment deadline was just 6 weeks ago.

Estimated delivery in the OP says October and he is working on shipping them now.

I hope people realize a group buy isn't like ordering from a store. You are joining with hundreds of other people to get a discount on something you probably wouldn't be able to buy otherwise. 

And Ivan is awesome just for getting us the opportunity to buy these and dedicating his time for the cause.

I seem to be having an issue with my 6.25x plate mount stabs. They are the right length but the bend in the wire is rubbing and causing the stab to hang. With the bend facing upwards (how I received it) I can't even get the stab installed, if I flip the wire so the bend is facing downwards I can at least get it into the plate but then it sticks down well past the bottom of the switch and rubs against the PCB. Am I doing something wrong? I have essentially zero experience messing with Cherry stabs so if someone could drop some knowledge on me it would be much appreciated.

Here is a picture with the wire flipped from how I received it.

I think that's the wrong wire. Shouldn't the 6.25x wire be straight? That looks like the Costar wire.

Here's a picture of the wire from the GH60 GB thread (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=41464.0):

Edit: Actually now I'm confused since I just found these pictures (http://deskthority.net/keyboards-f2/cherry-key-stabilizers-t143.html#p2112). The only reason why I said it's the wrong wire because on one of my boards, I couldn't get that bent wire to work with my plate mounted stabs and had to use the wire that was in the above image.

My PCB mount stabs have the bend in them as well and they look just like the pictures from the deskthority link. I was under the impression I needed the unbent wire for the plate mount stab though.

This (https://imgur.com/7AGKeJP.jpg) is the only other picture of the plate mount stab I have access to at the moment. I've tried installing it every way possible, flipping the wire and flipping the orientation of the stabs and no matter which way I try it hangs. Is it a problem with my plate?

Well if you look at the Cherry stabs from qwer (http://www.qwer.io/shop/accessories/6-25u-cherry-stabilisers/) the wires for 6.25 is also bent. I haven't had any experience with those wires, but I have a corsair k65 that also uses cherry stabs and its wire is straight and thats plate mounted.

Post by: chzel on Wed, 15 October 2014, 09:53:39
To my knowledge, PCB stabs have bent wires and those do not work with a plate, because of the rubbing.
Plate mount stabs should come with straight wire and work fine with a plate.
I guess Cherry meant the PCB stabs to be used only with PCB-mount switches. Sth like "If you have a plate use plate-mount stabs". ;D
You can easily bend your own stab wire from 1,5mm - 1,6mm stiff wire (piano wire) 100mm wide CtC, length of legs ~12mm IIRC.

Although "pcb mounted" stab often comes with a bent wire, you need a straight wire if you're using it with a plate.

People who bought x7 or x6.2 pcb mounted stabs to use for their custom builds could have this problem.
They'll most likely have to bend their own wires due to vast majority of custom keyboards having pcb stab + plate combo.

Post by: Nuum on Thu, 16 October 2014, 12:32:39
I've ordered some plate mounted stabs from GWERkeys a few weeks ago and they came with the same "wrong" wire with the bent in it. I think this is the wrong wire, as it can not be used with a plate. To use it I had to bend it straight, rebend one of the hooks and shorten it a little bit.
Title: Re: Cherry Stabilizers + MX blacks PCB
Post by: esoomenona on Thu, 16 October 2014, 12:36:36
I used a bent wire once. I didn't go through all the trouble Nuum did though. All I did was essentially level the bend with the legs.

This will mostly apply to those that ordered more than 1 as it seems to be a more significant price difference. I'm not sure if the prices went up on shipping or if I simply grossly underestimated the weight of those PCB but don't be surprised by this. Sorry for any inconvenience but I simply can't afford to cover the difference.
If you feel it's simply not worth it, I can see about refund/transfer PCB to another buyer.

If your order didn't have plate 6.25 in it, it's been sent.
As soon as I get in the replacement correct straight 6.25 wires for those I will finish sending the rest of orders.

All of the PCB mount stabilizers sold in this group buy are the screw type. Is there a reason you don't want to use them?

To clarify, I'm looking for the ones on the right side (PCB):

So I finally got some update on the wires. Apparently Cherry Europe, who GMK usually deal with are out of these parts and have no plans to make them any time soon. GMK is going to try sourcing from Cherry Asia... it will probably be a while longer. Sorry for the long waiting.

If you want to have the order sent anyway as it is now, just a reminder that is still a choice.

4th page man.  Also 1st page says "GMK surplus."  I doubt GMK has an excess of vintage blacks just lying around that they want to pawn off

I was sighing because:

A.) #vintageblackhype *cough*placebo*cough*

B.) No one has the boards and I'm sure Ivan packed them up and didn't take the time to try and figure that out, so no one knows.

I'm sorry for giving a non-answer, well, I know that vintage blacks came from really old boards, and all/most GMK made keyboards are fairly modern, so it was implied that it's new blacks!

I don't care what the non believers claim... there are real differences in vintage switch. It's no placebo, and it's not due to being worn either as I've had early production boards NIB.
Anyway, the MX switch PCB are not vintage switch. But, they don't seem to be scratchy like some of the newer boards I have encountered more recently.

Ivan would know about the 'vintage' aspect, but I agree with this statement, "they don't seem to be scratchy like some of the newer boards".  They are nice and smooth...  :)

Most of these orders are now shipped. Just about a dozen or so international orders left which I hope to finish Sunday.

Whatever is left over will be posted for available purchase after that.

How many stabilizers do I need for a gh60 style keyboard? The gh60 official plate, requires pcb or plate mounted stabilizers?

As I'm not a plate mount switch user the bent wire never was an issue for me. So if someone else really needs those straight wires mine are for grabs, no strings attached from my side  :thumb:
