  • Tired of stabilizer wires that are slightly (or not-so-slightly) bent? It can happen for a lot of reasons – maybe they had a troubled transit, or maybe someone was too indelicate when uninstalling them – but you can bend them back into shape with a pair of GEON stabilizer wire twisters!

    The twisters are made of quality black-coated 420J2-grade stainless steel, and are a precision instrument designed to help straighten 1.6mm stabilizer wires. Just insert each end of the wire into one of the included twisters, and twist until they align!

  • Have you ever been bandaid modding and thought “this is pretty tedious”? We’ve got you covered! Thanks to the folks at Upgrade Keyboards, we’ve been provided with stabilizer pads that serve as a high-quality replacement for band-aid modding. With a custom mix of silicone and rubber for the pad, the stab pad has been developed to prevent bottom-out noise from stabilizers on the PCB as well as potential damage. Due to the materials used for the pads, they also provide a deep, muted tone in comparison to the loud clack sans-pad. 3M adhesive on the underside of the pad will prevent slippage as well!

    Two variants are available for the pads:

    • 0.2mm: best for clip-in PCB mount and those that want a harder bottom-out feeling
    • 0.5mm: best for all other stabilizers, as some of the clip-in PCB mount stabilizers don’t anchor into the PCB strongly enough for the thicker pad

    Each variant has its own attractive points to them: the 0.2mm will have a slightly lower tone than band-aids, and the 0.5mm are approximately 300% quieter (as per Upgrade Keyboards), with a considerably lower tone. Both pads will spring back slightly as to not result in a mushy feeling. They are also compatible with PCB- and plate-mount stabilizers, cut perfectly to size for both. Just make sure that if you previously had band-aids or stabilizers mounted on the PCB to clean off any potential lubricant, as this will cause the stab pad to slide.
