Review on πŸ”§ Durock V2 PCB Mount Screw-in Stabilizers: Translucent Smokey Gold Plated Keycap Stabilizers for Mechanical Keyboards (V2 Smokey 60/87 Kit) by Andrew Cramer

Good stabilizers but needs some work

These stabilizers are better than the standard stabilizers that came with my Velocifire keyboard. If you have the patience to make a mod to set them up perfectly then I'd say for the price they suck. If you're not bothered by small noises, they're fine as long as you lubricate them with dielectric grease on the stem and the switch grease you normally use on the stem (I used Krytox). My problem is that even with regular lubrication, when I lightly pressed Shift and Spacebar, there was an annoying ticking noise. It's not a problem with my other keyboards because I have heavier springs. But on this keyboard, I modified the springs to be lighter, so I usually type with a lighter touch. This created a ticking noise, which also affected the feel of the keystroke. I ended up having to do a bandage modification and a hole modification (where you insert a strip of tape into the holes in the stabilizer shaft. Overall, I'm happy with the end result. Again, if you're willing to put in the time and effort, or if you're of If you're not bothered by small noises, this should be good. If you're looking for stabilizers, you're probably already ready to mod your keyboard.
