Insane value for near end-game stabs
Get them, simple as that. They sound amazing and with these on, I wasn't able to hear or feel any rattle/scratch/ping.I lubed the stem and housing with Krytox 205g0 (I did one with Glorious Lube and felt/heard literally no difference), and pretty heavily lubed the wires with dielectric grease (by which I mean, thick enough to look "caked on" rather than just a sheen like you would with switches).They come with so many accessories, pretty much anything you would need to tweak to your liking. 2 types of holee mod (poron foam and plumber's tape AKA teflon), as well as switch pads for the PCB. It even has different thicknesses of foam available to further cushion the switch pads.fI'm running these on a poppy build with a couple layers of foam. Switches are Akko CS Jelly Black (medium-heavy linear switch). The pop comes from the heavy muting from the foams, it really causes the PCB to be held snug within the case.With all the layers of foam, these are amazingly thocky-- seriously sounds like a spacebar sound test from a mech keyboard Youtuber. I keep randomly pressing my backspace and spacebar, because they sound so satisfying.With one layer of foam removed (so essentially, similar amount of dampening but no "tight" squeeze on the PCB), these stabs were SILENT. Literally silent, I was concerned that I had over-lubed at first but this wasn't the case.Finally, I tried them with a tactile switch in Akko CS Jelly Purple, and then suddenly the same stabs went from being muted and thocky to being clacky/marbly.The only two cons-- it doesn't come with instructions, which might be disorienting for someone changing out their stabs for the first time. Luckily, instructions are very easy to find online-- just Google for them.The other con, the housing is a tiny bit tight around where the wire would go, and so requires some force-- which is hard when your wires are all greased up. To combat this, I would suggest popping them in there before lubing the wire, to kinda "loosen them up." Then, during actual installation, I would use a pair of tweezers to click them in instead of using my fingers.That's it-- these out perform Durock V2s as well as Drop Phantom Stabilizers. Will be my go-to stab for any build I do in the future. I just hope they stay at this price, because they are an insane value.

It is ok...finding Stabs are stabs
I heard some good reviews for these and I decided to give them a try. I typically have Durock stabs on all my boards but decided to try something different on my older Tofu60. I had terrible stabs there and I wanted to bring it out again and use, which I would want to upgrade the stabs on a budget.The install was pretty laborious if i may say so. all the little bits in the Soul Mates pack was time consuming but i get the thinking behind it. I don't knock them for it. It is a great technique to get the right feel and tune for the stabs. I even used the teflon in the stem for a different sound and i love it. It's easier than cutting up a band-aid...BUT, i'm using it for a couple of days now and i don't feel the difference or an upgrade. I've probably havn't tuned the wires perfectly but i'm still getting a ticking on the back space and the modifiers sound kind of hollow. I also don't know if that's an issue with tray mount boards. I can't get consistant stabs on this Tofu60.I was also expecting the tighter tolerance in the wobble, don't get me wrong i think they have a better resistance to wobble than others i have tried but still get lots of movement in the space bar and that ticky backspace.How do i fix these issue folks?thank you and try these out. the process is longer than usual but a great product. great color selection and i guess with the proper install you can get premium out put. It's probably user error for me.

Perfect for the Monsgeek M1
Perfect for replacing the Monsgeek M1 stabilizers. They fit the smaller cutouts of the M1 plates without having to force it like you do for the durock v2. They also come with wire supports and holee mods if you would like to do those mods.

A bit pricier, but have never let me down.
Some of the better PCB stabilizers I've used to date!

Best readily available stabs on the market
These are the best stabs I’ve personally used compared to durock v2s, cherry clip ins, and both glorious GOAT and GSv2. I would have gone with staebies or tx stabs, but unavailable, and I wanted white so pulled the trigger on these seeing they’re now on Amazon. Kit includes tons of foams and stickers, and the holee mod strips included work like a charm. Note: they’re really sticky so it was a pain to line up and mount, so beware it takes time and a steady hand. Also using the pcb stickers and 2mm stem pads, and wire foam that were included. A little 205g0 on the housing and stem, and dielectric grease for the wires, and these are perfect. No tick, no rattle, very smooth and no excess tuning needed. Normally I’d need to tune, adjust wires, and fill the stem void, but not necessary for this set. One note, not detracting from the rating, is the washers for the screws are pretty hard, so I had to excessively tighten the screws when installing as they were a tad loose and wobbly. But with a little elbow grease and another half turn, tightened up just fine. Tightening was scary on a 1.2mm flex cut pcb as it felt a little fragile, but your mileage may vary depending on your pcb. Overall, love these stabs and would highly recommend as an easily available option on the market.

not worth it
I bought these Stabilizers to get rid of my plate mount ones because they had bad rattle and tick but getting this set only made it worse they are sturdy so they won't shake side to side and a little less raddle but my 6u wire has this slight bend in it and no matter how much I try I cannot get it tuned the right way and the kit it comes with to help with some noise and raddle did not hold up the stickers for on the plate did not stick no matter how much lube I used it always had a rattle

Great stabs.
I highly recommend it if you like to tune your stabs. It comes with everything you ever needed.After few hours tuning my stabs I recommend likely lube your stems, don't over lube it it will give you sticky feeling.I only use 1mm poron dampening under my stems.Don't use the holee mod, it will makes your stabs mushy feeling. Unless you keyboard is hollow.Overall great price if you willing to take a bit of time modding it.
