I’m a little late to the Topre-MX-slider-modding party, but this thread was a wild ride/read
Given that @PremiumBoss’s amazingly detailed guide on how to use a Cherry plate stabilizer for the spacebar was posted almost 8 months ago - I wanted to check to see how the mod has been holding up, and if there were any other developments in this arena!
I know Deskeys is still actively working on topre MX sliders as well as domes, but neither has come to market yet. I believe the current “ideal” MX conversion would be:
- 1U keys: Niz housings and sliders
- Mods: KBDFans stabilizers
- Spacebar: PremiumBoss’s Cherry plate mount stabilizer mod
- All: slider rails lubed, stabilizer bars lubed, and probably Deskeys silencing rings as well? #3s?
Before I embark on my MX-compatible journey, I just wanted to touch base and validate that my understanding above is mostly correct. I’m sure there is something I’ve missed, or some development I haven’t caught wind of - time to continue the research!
Edit: most of this thread has focused on the FC660C, however these mods should all translate the same onto its bigger FC980C brother as well, right? With the impending launch of @norbauer’s Heavy-9, I wanted to make sure this was a feasible approach for that board as well
