A properly lubed costar stabiliser won't have any squeaky sound.

Another name that is less used is space saving, originated from IBM model M SSK.

Yeah bro - most sellers on this forum only carry UK layout....I did get 1 guy who said his distributor got NA layout also - which is quite interesting - because I was told Malaysia only got 1 corsair distributor.

The sound not from stabiliser xD its from that 2 thing of the spacebar.. its connected with a metal rod or smth.. somehow when it move got squeak sound.. used sometime to identify that squeak source

2things on spacebar connected by wires?

Isn't it stabiliser?

that is stabiliser lor.

he is talking about costar stabs urs is cherry stabs

Thanks for the recommendation.....I think think....seems like will go for Das. I really like to have a backlit keyboard, but Das styling suits me better.

BTW - nice mods on your KB

Thank you, and I love Das too, but it's really a fingerprint magnet. So you have to keep cleaning it.

Ini ka yang bunyi tu kawan? Dua benda hitam di hujung tu? Itu cherry stabilizer la kawan. Penstabil ceri.

the stabs are called cherry style stabs, and the switch is cherry mx clear switch...

okay haha... so its stabs and switch.. thx sifus

hmm... from the image itself, it looks like plate mount cherry stabs... cherry stabs got 2 type, one is pcb mount and another is this one the plate mount, the plate mount have an extended "frame" for the black stems while the pcb mount doesnt...

oh, so the pcb mount is like the switches which are not connected to each other while the plate mount have a thing to connect them together?

I think it's Ducky DK9008G2 white switch...

This is cherry:


It's Cherry mx white/ clear switch. IINM, some even call white as milky switch . Different name, same things. Last time I thought clear switch is transparent or semi transparent.
