Title: Mushy left shift stabilizer on Poker II with MX Blues
Post by: TechnoGarrett on Sat, 16 August 2014, 18:50:45
My left shift is mushy and doesn't spring back up like the right shift does, should I RMA the keyboard or wait for it to break in?

I've had it for almost two weeks no and it hasn't changed, and I've tried teflon tape on the stabilizer like users elsewhere have suggested.

Teflon tape is normally used for costar stabs the poker 2 has cherry stabs.

I was told it would help, hmm.

It's like whenever I hit the key the stabs don't spring back up, and when I bottom out the key it doesn't thud like the right one.

The mushiness often slows down my typing, not sure if I would RMA it to MechanicalKeyboards.com or just keep it if I'm only going to get one that is just as mushy.

Isn't that what cutting their feet is for?

I thought that was only on Costar stabs?

clipping the stabilizers are for cherry stabilizers.
