About Staebies

Staebies were designed by Zambumon in collaboration with AEBoards, with the goal of improving on the classic Cherry stabilisers. 

They have gone through multiple iterations and production runs over the years and are the enthusiast's choice for a rattle-free experience right out of the bag.

The tight fit of these stabilisers delivers a consistent feel that requires minimal lubing and no modding, and also leads to a deeper more solid sound.

My goal with the staebies was first to identify some of the common issues Cherry stabs have and try to mitigate and improve them.

Wiggle room, how much lube is needed, wire popping, etc. Minor improvements here and there to make the user experience less miserable.

Nylon vs PC

Three colour options are available to suit the aesthetics of your keyboard:

• Brown Nylon with a brown POM stem (Limited Edition)
• Black Nylon with a black POM stem
• Clear Polycarbonate with white POM stem

There is no performance difference between these options. Choose according to what you prefer or what suits your build.

Useful Tips

If the stab is binding or returning slowly, this could be due to the keycap being slightly warped. Test by swapping different keycaps onto the stab in question to see if the same thing happens.

If so, inspect the wire for a bend. We have high QC standards but occasionally a defective part gets through or is damaged during packing. Wires can be bent back but if it cannot be resolved, get in contact.

Lastly, if the stab is returning slowly, try loosening the screws on the bottom just a bit. This usually fixes the problem. Avoid using too much lube as well, this can make it feel sluggish due to having less space for the lube.
