Fixing stabilizer rattle with plastic wrap.

I tried this on my GMK Red Samurai spacebar and Staebies stabs and it broke the stem :( i had to buy another spacebar, so be careful guys

omg thank you! ive been using tape and its such a pain in the ass

Flip your spacebar backwords

Tysm

what keyboard is that? The one in the beginning of the video?

You save my spacebar

what board is that? looks nice

brooo, i did it just now and it works, i love you xD

NO WAY BRO THIS WORKS SO WELL, GUYS THIS IS LEGIT

alternatively, you can use blue painter's/masking tape. Place the tape on the stem hole, covering it. Afterwards, mount your keycap, pressing the keycap down with a little more pressure until the tape tears into the stem hole. if it's still not tight enough, you can repeat the process until it's tight

omg thats very helpful

This is way better and easier than those videos where they cut off some stabilizer wires and shit, relubing and all, like ain't nobody got time for that

Absolute genius for this!!!

I tried so many things like taping or food wrapping the wires lol

thanks for breaking my keycaps

in my case the rattle didn't go away at all :(

Didnt work for me

So it works, but it can quickly get worse. Finding the right balance is really not easy. That you even have to do something like that.

Alright well now I know what I’m doing when I get off work 😂 I’ve got like 3 boards with perfectly straight wires and they have this weird rattle. Bout to Sarah wrap em’ all!

An easier method is using telfon tape!

Thanks 🙏 it's not completely gone but fixed a lot of that bad rattling sound

idk why but now the middle of the spacebar sounds bad

This came up when I Googled something along the lines of "how to fix broken stabilizer". I didn't even know that's what was causing my issues before I did some more searching. Anyways, this fixed it. When I pressed on the left side it would jump off the right side and vice versa. All good now though. Thanks!

Ohhh this helps so much. I couldn’t figure out the problem but it is just a bad spacebar key cap

Thanks man i finnaly fixed my goofy ass space bar❤

wild that i use amazon keycaps and have never had this problem but gmk keycap users have it

what keycaps r those?

I thought this was because the stab wire is not flat/straight. Hmmm I need to revisit some of my stabs

I use masking tape for this 😊

Tried this with tape and cracked two gmk spacebars🙏

Scotch tape also works for me as well.

would this method work for my wobbly keycaps?

what keycaps are these? they look beautiful

Good solution. I just ignore it.

I did not know this was a thing all i ever got told is it might be a warped bar.

Giga chad fix

Holee mod is the solution! Thank me later!

This isn't the rattle I'm getting and this doesn't solve my problem. Ugh. Stabilizers are hard.

I love you with all my heart

Awesome

If its one side thats ratteling just remove your spacebar and flip it over to see if that fixed it if that didnt then the wrap wont

those r some coool keycaops

Wow never knew this. Thanks!

Exactly what I was looking for, thank you sir

what wrap?

Awesome tip Alex! I've found putting the cling wrap over the stab stem vs putting it in the keycap stem works much better & has much less of a chance of getting bunched up & forgotten in the keycap. Although the best fix for this I've found is to use scotch tape over the stab stem. It will stick to the stem so you don't have to worry about it getting stuck in the keycap & forgotten at all. Plus it just seems to work better as it is just a tiny bit thicker than cling wrap.

this video genuinely just fixed the ticking problem i had with my stabs for the past 2 years, thank you for this 🙏🙏🙏

Underrated tip Alex! 🙌

I used teflon tape and worked for me, thanks!
