Next, apply lube to the inside of the housings and to the outside of the stems. Cover the ends of the wire in dielectric grease, extending it past the curve of the wire so the clip is lubricated. Finally, reassemble the stabilizers and test them in your keyboard, adding more lube if they feel scratchy or more grease if they still rattle.
A week or two ago i was looking for a good bluetooth 65/75% mech keyboard. By now i have bought a 3 different ones (tkl a 75%) and a 60%. Ordered a whole bunch of new switches.
Ordered a wrist rest, tools and new keycap sets. And there are still multiple keyboards i want and keycaps etc etc. I don't think i will go into the extreme custom thing.

When i first lubed my stabilizers on my gk61x they were very mushy and i hated how they felt. I finally just took them off and wiped the stabilizers with a baby wipe and brushed lubed the clear dialectic grease so that it gave an even coating on the ends of the.
