WABANG

Zeal's Screw-in type Stabilizers

Zeal's Plate Mount compatible silencing clips

Tramp stamp

Works with Cherry switches too

Zeal60 RGB PCB - First 60% PCB to feature fully controllable & backlit RGB LEDs for EACH switch & Spacebar stabilizers (lols). Supports Standard 60% winkey, winkeyless, short r_shift, HHKB, ISO. SMD LED does not interfere with the switch whatsoever.

Those clear stabs look better than I thought they would look... PCB shots eh?

Why slack where they'll get buried in half an hour rather than here where they'll stay visible?

Is there that much scrollage in the slack channel?

I just got into it today.

Yes, it's crazy how fast it goes.

It was just a small glimpse. Good pictures that better represent the color of the pcb inbound. Spoiler: it's purple.

Will make a video once I get them on hand next week. By design, the goal is to be the same or dampen even more as we're finding softer rubbers.

Other than the clear look and screw, is there something else special about the stabilizers? Why the screw?

PCB mount stabilizers have been reported in the past for popping out in certain keyboards when fitted with tight keycaps. Having a screw secures the housing down so that doesn't happen.

In the past, vintage Cherry stabilizers had a screw that screwed into plastic; however, overtime the plastic would strip and the stabilizer wouldn't be usable anymore. My stabilizer is the solution for both issues.

Price will be announced at GB launch.
Silencing clips will be sold in quantities of 70x, 100x, 120x

Clear stabilizers will be sold as "one bundle"
8x 2u, 1x 6.25u, 1x 7u. This is enough for 1x winkey, 1x WKL 60%/TKL board; OR 1x full size/ Compact 1800 layout w/ 2x 2u thumb spaces.

The PCB already has 70+ RGB LEDs = over 210x "individual" LEDs. It's already approaching the maximum current allowed per USB 2.0 spec. USB 3.1/C needs to mature a bit more and stabilize before venturing into it.

Any chance of a 2.75u stab as well to cover the VE.A keyboard's right spacebar? Though I would understand if the answer would be no since only 103 people participated on the Massdrop group buy so there probably won't be much demand to begin with.

Actually scratch that, I just looked at the build guide and they're all the same stabs, silly me.

It's a frosted transparent cover. One is on a Zealio, the other on a Cherry switch to show my clips work on both switches. Due to the way I lit the picture with my camera flash, the white light scattered as it travelled through the silencing clips, making them look whiter than they should be.
