I got to test an IMSTO Cherry PCB Mount stab today, I have to say the insert is light-years ahead of other inserts, it doesn't have the feet, it also seems to have a wire guide designed in, I suspect it's a custom design of someone, yet it's highly under-advertised, I bought it months ago thinking I was buying some generic stuff
Out of the box, unlubed, the assembly is extremely stiff, it cancelled out the tactility of the switch, however, after lubing it like a switch, it turned out to be usable and the tactility of the switch returned, in a reduced level (lubing the stabiliser assembly, not the switch, switch is already lubed)
Compared to an optimised Costar, it's still rattly, so I'm going to stick to Costar's with an ease of mind, yet I have to say, it would be extremely practical to just put on some PCB mounts stabs, PCB mount switches and get things rolling, it would take me 80% there, yet I'm after the 99%
I also think PCB mount stabs are >> plate mount stabs, mainly as the hole is more closed, it does a great job at stabilising, the only issue is the sound and stiffness, lubing and breaking in takes care of the stiffness, if you can live with the rattling, it would work
Once again, these are all linear, tactile issues, clicky switches roll with most kind of stabs, as long as the stiffness doesn't prevent the click, the rattling just blends in with the click of the switch itself
(Listening to clicky switches gives me a small headache, testing the Cherry stab produced the same result, just adding to my little analysis)
