Stabilizers (often called ‘stabs’) are keyboard parts that prevent larger keys from wobbling when pressed, and help bind the keycap to the switch. They sit next to the keyboard switch to stabilize the keycap when you press it. Here’s a 101 primer on stabs.

For building keyboards, any key 2u or greater requires a stabilizer.
Spacebars require 6.25u or 7u depending on layout.

Attaches to PCB with screws (included).
Stabs and wires sold separately, be sure to add at least one of each.
Alternately you can purchase wire kits only to upgrade any of your existing cherry style stabilizers.
