Thinking to change costar stabilizer with cherry stabilizer on Razer BW V3 Pro

[levesque_]

Helo, now i want to buy razer keyboard, but all of razer keyboard using costar stabilizer, and i already have 1 set of keycaps using cherry stem & stabilizer. Because of that i have an idea about changing the original stabilizer that using costar stabilizer with a cherry stabilizer

It doesn't work that way.
Cherry and Costar stabs use a different cutout, worse still, Razer uses a non standard bottom row so the normal Cherrys stabs and spacebar will not fit.

You can cut new slots and use a spacebar that is not only a diferent width than normal but also has multiple stab mounts but this means your keycap selection is even more limited than it was before you started this journey and you will need to desolder every switch and remove the plate to make the cut.

That is a lot of high risk work just to have that keyboard.
If you want it because of the switches you should know that switches are just a common MX blue made by Greetech or Kailh with their name on them. You could buy almost any keyboard with a blue switch board and it will have the same feel but with standard size caps and (most likely) Cherry style stabs. My advice, look at Ducky, GMMK, Vortex and maybe even Leopold, they should fit your budget and are most likely better quality as well.

Sounds like the beginning of a new thread. Don't think you want to continue this on a thread specifically referencing Razer stabilizers.

That said, go look at Keychron. I think they'll have what you're looking for.

Wireless options are EXTREMELY limited even in the best of times and this is not the best of times to buy keyboards.

And it's about to get much worse.

[diazel]

why is it going to get much worse?

why is it going to get much worse?

They just approved another round of stimulus checks in the US and each time so far people made runs on anything remaining in stock.

With the Softminer/Gamma crap (fooling kids into "mining" Etherium for store credit of less value), Razer has earned enough bad karma that it is a brand that I think everybody with a conscience should stay clear from.

When it comes to stabilisers, Costar-style and Cherry-style stabilisers should fit the same keycaps. 2u, 2.25u, and 2.75u keys all have stabiliser mounts the same distance apart: i.e. use stabilisers for 2u keys.
The keys that could be difficult are sometimes the space bars, where the stabiliser mounts are farther apart.
Most Razer keyboards use 6u space bars, but some of these have the stabiliser mounts a shorter distance apart from that of standard 6u space bars. I do think that to adapt between these and have Costar-style stabilisers, you might only need a different stabiliser wire - not move the stabiliser position.
BTW. Some Razer keyboards have 1.25u modifiers and 6.25u space bars even (= sizes that some people call "standard". Personally I would argue that 6u space bar is also a standard :-þ ).
