Topre Clone Wobble Help

[Mr.Elli0t]

So I just received the Archon RE:AL and absolutely love the keyboard, feel, and sound. But I noticed there's a lot of wobble on the keycap sliders and was wondering if there was anyway to limit it?

Thick lube on the rails where the sliders touch the sides would definitely help. I did this on my HHKB which I found very rattly. I don't know if silencing rings can help with wobble, but you might want to throw some in there while you are lubing because they can really help with the sound of Topre switches.

Thanks! I got some silencing rings just haven't put them on yet, and was hoping they would help with the wobble, as for the sound I love the way it sounds right now, but I may lube a few and try them out to see how the sound changes and how I like it. I'll probably do that when I get the 55g domes and make a day of modding out of it.

If you like the sound I suggest holding off on the silencing rings. It's a good idea to try lubing a few switches with one of the thicker lubes (make sure to search here and on r/mechanicalkeyboards to find recommendations for Topre-comptaible lubes) to see if that helps the wobble.

The Nopre switches in the Archon are already silenced with "dental band" style rings. If you are talking about the topre-style thing foam disc rings, IDK about their compatibility with the Nopre sliders. If you are using tall key profiles like SA, wobble will be pronounced, with low profile keysets minimizing wobble.
