Cherry Plate-mounted Stabilizers
« on: Sun, 01 January 2012, 15:23:17 »
For plate-mounted Costar stabilizers, you can install and remove them right from the plate.  I only have Cherry's PCB-mounted stabilizers so I don't know what Cherry's plate-mounted stabilizers look like.  

Is it the same with Cherry's plate-mounted stabilizers?

Thanks.

EDIT:
Hum, I think I found my answer here:


Looks like it is sandwiched between the plate and PCB, so you can't really remove Cherry's stabilizers without de-soldering every switch and separate the plate and the PCB first.

You just need to remove a single switch to remove the stabilizer with plate mounted cherry stabilizers.

Oh, cool!  That is much better.  Then I can use the same Phantom prototype to test with both Cherry and Costar stabilzers.  Thanks.

Did ripster build a keyboard by himself....
I did swap the stabilizers multiple times just by removing the stabilized switch.

Plate-mounted or PCB-mounted?
