Not exactly sure whats it called, but when I was removing my 0 key on my numpad of my Das I accidently pulled this black stabilizer holder with the key and one of them broke right out. I was wondering what this is called and if I can get a replacement.

Pictures are not mine. Found it from a Ripster guide. Circled what I'm talking about for reference.
Thanks.

After months of asking for it from them, they finally stock it! I'm not sure when they started, but I checked today and they are in!

No one can even give me the name of the piece?

Did it break or just come out? I've been asking for places to get the Costar stabilizers, but noone have come up with an answer. Keyboard retailers might sit on a few as spare parts I think though, ask where you bought the board from.

Thanks for the reply. It broke, the piece that holds that on the board has a little broken bit to it. I think the little broken bit of it fell into the board. So I assume it's called a Costar stabilizer?

Trey to PM ascaii or half-saint, maybe they have a cheap donor board with or spare pieces.

I have just the cherry style atm.

I found the tiny piece of broke off of the stabilizer. Hopefully some glue will patch this baby right up.

Got it glued perfectly, going to let it dry the whole day. If this fails I'm probably going out to buy some super "duper" glue.
I'll try the twisties if all else fails.

Should the super glue fail, from my experience super gluing like people use duct tape, I found it helps to roughen up the pieces with sandpaper. Stuff breaks "clean" microscopically is my guess?

Fixed for now. Wouldn't mind buying 2 new ones though if anyone's selling em for backups
