Fitment

We endeavour to fit the highest possible manufacturing tolerances whenever possible however due to the sheer quantity of switches and stabilisers on the market today from many different manufacturers, it is hard to guarantee the stem will fit perfectly first time. This is easily corrected with very simple tools that most keyboard enthusiasts should have to hand.

Stem fits too loose

Use a pair of needle nose pliers (ideally wrapped in PVC electrical tape to avoid leaving marks) to gently squeeze the stem together. Very little force should be needed to ensure a better fit. The tolerances are as little as 0.1mm.

Stem fits too tight

Use a small flat head screwdriver to lever against the inside of the stem both horizontally and vertically. Very little force should be needed to ensure a better fit. The tolerances are as little as 0.1mm.
