FR4: For users who want a balanced feeling between sound and flex.
Aluminum: For a stiffer and higher pitched sound profile, for those who want to be heard
POM: For the softest, flexiest typing feeling out of the three.
Disclaimer: only Polycarbonate and Aluminum plate comes with screw slots. It is up to the user whether to use them. For other plates, the switches are used to properly fix the PCB and plate to reach ultra flex experiences.

We have included varying sizes of brushes so you can choose the one that best suits the task according to your preferences:
Flat 0: Most widely used by the community, this is the perfect all-rounder.
Filbert 4: Allows for a tad more consistency than the flat tip and requires a bit less skill.
Round 1: Best suited for tasks that require most precision.

Synthetic (nylon) bristles
Safe to use with PFPE-based lubricants (such as Krytox and TriboSys)
Everglide Moyu Black (also known as Dark Jade) is a tactile switch that rivals Holy Pandas in terms of feel and tactility. Featuring a similiar top-rounded bump and actuation force, these are described as cleaner and sharper than Holy Pandas. The bump is positioned slightly higher than on the HP, meaning you will reach it faster on Moyu Blacks. Another distinctive feature is the housing made entirely of PBT, which results in a unique sound signature.
This fully transparent linear switch stands out not only for its unique appearance, but also for the extremely smooth and wobble-free experience it delivers. Available with 3 different spring weights to better suit your preference.
Sold in packs of 10.
Specifications:
Type: Linear, MX-style
Lightly factory lubed

5-pin (if you need a 3-pin switch, just clip off the extra 2 plastic legs)
Genuine Krytox XHT-BDZ grease, repackaged into a leak-proof glass jar.
Each jar contains 10 grams of lube. That's a lot and should last you for several keyboard builds.
This is the best choice for eliminating all stabilizer rattle and ticking. Its extremely thick consistency and high viscosity provide outstanding dampening properties and make it stay in place incomparably better than dialectric grease (e.g. Permatex) and other Krytox lubricants (including the most commonly used 205g0), so you will never have to re-lube your stabs.
The large quantity of lubricant in the jar makes it easier to dip and evenly coat the stabilizer wires (in case you prefer this application method).
NOTE: Use it only on the wires, and remember: a little goes a long way. It's very easy to go overboard with this stuff, resulting in overlubed stabs that feel sticky and sluggish.
Insanely smooth linear switch featuring a full-POM housing which results in a deep, thocky sound signature.
The stem is made from an UHMWPE blend to avoid the issue known as "stick slip" that affects other POM switches. All the materials used are known to be low-friction plastics, which further contributes to the smoothness.

Durock's latest innovation. These switches utilize JWICK's brand new molds with tighter tolerances, further minimizing housing and stem wobble. Absolutely no need for filming!
The unique design of the bottom housing allows the long-pole stem to still travel your standard 4 mm, while preserving the unique sound signature of long-pole switches. The new molds also introduce a removable light diffuser for better light permeability.

Genuine Krytox GPL 205 Grade 0 (known as 205g0) grease, repackaged into a leak-proof glass jar.
Each jar contains 10 grams of lube, which is enough to generously cover over 400 switches. The exact number will depend on your skill and technique used.
Thanks to its versatility, it's undoubtedly the most popular choice in the mech community. Recommended mainly for Linear switches and stabilizer housings (the best choice for stab wires is Krytox XHT-BDZ), but can also be used with Tactile and Clicky switches (as long as you apply a very thin layer). It can even be applied to switch springs (although we think that Krytox 105 is a better choice for this purpose).
Grade 0 / g0 is simply another term for NLGI 0, which is the desired consistency for the purpose.
Genuine Krytox GPL 105 oil, repackaged into a translucent plastic bottle with dropper.
Each bottle contains 10 grams of lube.
Recommended for switch springs to eliminate pinging and crunching noises, as it can be swiftly applied to a full set of springs using a technique called bag lubing.
Can also be combined with other Krytox and TriboSys grease lubricants to thin the consistency as desired.
Modding switches on your mechanical keyboard can be troublesome – it may be hard to do so without getting lube on your fingers or losing small parts. Our Lube Station will improve your workflow and help you keep everything organized.
Made of two thick acrylic sheets with metal feet on all corners. Can hold up to 33 switches as well as their springs and stems. Additionaly, it has two compartments that you can use for storing your tools or other small elements.
Specifications:
Plate color: Clear
Plate thickness (assembled): 8 mm ± 1 mm
Plate dimensions: 235 mm x 150 mm
The product has to be assembled (easy). There will be a protective film on the acrylic which you can peel off.
This handy tool will let you comfortably hold stems and springs during lubricant application, without the risk of dropping them or getting your fingers dirty with lube. Available in black and silver.
Implementing a patented technology, kin25 of TX Keyboard has improved the design of Cherry clip-ins to minimize rattling and prevent wire pop-out (using wedge included with the set).
His design features a double shot stabilizer stem with a POM outside and TPU & POM blend inside. This mixture helps to minimize wire rattle and bottom out noise.
These are the most popular stabilizers among the keeb community for a reason!
