Thanks for responses about lubing.
I also have some questions about purchasing stabilizers and stabilizers in general.
First, what are the primary differences in appearance between plate and pcb mount stabilizers? Is it possible to turn one into the other as with PCB mount switches into plate mount switches?
Second, what type is typically used for custom keyboards? (Seems like Cherry is?)
Third, where can I purchase them for cheap? Willing to buy in bulk (up to about $50 worth, maybe $100 if absolutely necessary). Cherry preferred.
