silly question about numpads and stabilizers
« on: Sat, 31 December 2022, 08:06:57 »
do vertical-mounted 2u keys such as is the enter key and big plus key ever need stabilizers or they've always been left to the keyswitch alone themselves?

thanks (I also was wondering due to figuring out the number of stabilizers I actually needed to order for myself)

I don't think that I have had a keyboard without them.

That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.

2u always gets a stabiliser, if you use switches with very little wobble (box?) or the shiny patch on your 2u keycaps is right in the middle meaning you never press off centre you might get away with not using them.  Stabs are usually bought as a set as it's cheaper...
