Bros, I recently bought some pcb mounted stabs off taobao.
For the 6.25X it's exactly like this picture:

I haven't use a bent wire before. Will it work with the keycaps properly ?
I know Ivan's GB had some problems and wires had to be remade.
I don't want to get a refund either since it's too problematic.
Any suggestions ?

as a price guide
roughly

This type of bent wire will work just fine.
As long as the wire turning points are right-angled (90°) u won't have any issue in installing then.
However, if u plan to use this bent wire with a plate; make the the plate have cut-out for wire, else the wire will most likely kicking with your plate underneath.

switches is personal
wrist rest can buy separately
and good keyboard brands are Filco Ducky CM storm
if you do not need LEDS than go for filco for quality and what kinda of budget are you looking at
Gigabytes is not really know for their keyboard

my budget is around rm300 - rm500+

ok thx to all the sifu..

lastly beware of fake cherry mx switches like razer, tesoro, tt esport ,and etc
avoid gaming grade switches only look for Cherry MX switches

Whats the meaning of tuning cherry stabilizers? Does that mean lubing it?

thanks, and noted. I might bend the wire on my own if it doesn't work. it should be okay right ?
thanks again

Clipping and lubing ?
Clipped cherry stabs are amazing.

No, if u try to bend in order to make it straight, it would became longer.
It will be really hard for me i think, to cut the wire and bend it again precisely.

hmm yeah true. Didn't thought of that. Ahh well see. I'll figure it out.
What wire is suitable tho ? Incase I need to bend it.

Hmm I'm not sure what type of wire is suitable, but to save hassle i just replace it by using plate-mount type wire since it is straight.
