Stabilizers for my KMAC2
«

Please help. I'm confused and now getting desperate
I am in the UK and assembling a KMAC2 keyboard. I have everything I need except stabilizers.
Which type will work on my PCB and which type will work on my plate?
Which ones are the best?
Where in the UK can I get them?
Can someone give me an explanation of the difference between plate and PCB mounted stabilizers in general?
Will Costar stabilizers fit?
Thanks Guys.

Cherry PCB stabilizers,
I believe people take them off of Leopold or Poker keyboards..
as for 7x spacebar they bend a new wire I believe.

Costar stabilizers are plate mount, and the KMAC does not support plate mount stabs.

I suggest to grab some cheap G80 1000/3000 winkeyless off German ebay or something. Most of time there is something to find for under 20EUR and you get all the stabs, some switches and nice keycaps.

I agree with Ivan. I also did the same with a Wyse PCE board.

All my cherry stabilizers were salvaged from old cherry boards. Costar stabs can be bought from WASDkeyboards.com, however as it was mentioned, the KMAC 2 sadly doesn't accept these.
