Hello people!

I've been trying to find myself some plate mounted Cherry stabilizers for my Phantom build (which seems to finally come to a reality soon \o/), but I just can't seem to find them anywhere.

I'm sure I've seen someone mention that Mouser carries them, but either I'm not good enough at deciphering Cherry's product codes or Mouser simply doesn't stock them anymore. I also reckon you can source the stabilizers from some WYSE keyboards, but since these don't seem to be easily found in Europe I'd have to buy one from the US, which doesn't seem like a very wyse decision (I found that funny) since the shipping costs would be tremendously high.

So please, fellow keyboard enthusiasts, I need your help! :)

I know I could just buy Costar stabilizers by the way, but from experience the white plastic things do sit a bit loose in Cherry's keycaps.

Thanks!

how many do you need? I can pull a few off my g81s.

I have a WYSE keyboard without caps and lightly damaged, but with a total of 9 perfectly functional stabilizers.
I had bought it from Ascaii for 10€ and could pass it on to you for the same price + shipping.

This seems to have turned into a classifieds thread instead, lol.

kbdfr, I'm most probably going to buy stabilizers from Ascaii (since I'm also buying some other stuff from him), but if it doesn't work out or something I'll send you a PM. Thanks! :)

Well, anyway, if anyone would find a source for plate mounted stabilizers, you're more than welcome to post it here!

Didn't Mouser sell stabilizers?

Well I thought they did, but I can't find them anywhere on their site.

I may have some extras/spares, probably looking at less than 20 though...I'll have a dig around and see what I can find.

The factory packet may be 1000, but they ley you order them individually. The only problem is either the £12 P&P, or the £50 min order for free shipping
