TX

TX Keyboard is a stabilizer specialist whose designs are credited in retailer listings to kin25. The line runs on one idea, a patented doubleshot stem with a POM outer and a TPU and POM core meant to hold the wire still, sold across screw-in, PCB clip-in, top clip-in and plate mount fittings and in both 1.2 mm and 1.6 mm PCB thicknesses. The same listings also carry a TX stabilizer tester, which is the only non-stabilizer product under the name in this data.

TX AP Plate Mount

TX

AP Plate Mount

Plate mount

The same doubleshot AP stem in a plate mount housing, cut for 1.5 mm plates and following Cherry sizing. Plate mount is the compromise fitting: nothing to screw and no drilled PCB required, at the cost of play in the clips that cannot be lubricated out, so this is the one to buy when the board gives you no choice rather than when it does. Three of the six shops carry it and all three list four 2u wires plus a 6.25u and a 7u, which covers a 60 percent or a TKL either way. Housing and wire materials are not stated by any of them.

TX AP Screw-in

TX

AP Screw-in

PCB screw-in

The AP stem is doubleshot, a POM shell around a TPU and POM core, and that soft inner material is the whole pitch: it grips the wire at the point where a stabilizer would otherwise buzz. Screw-in and PCB mount, in 1.6 mm and 1.2 mm versions, with four 2u wires and both long sizes in the base kit. Housing material and wire material are both blank here, because the listings describe the stem at length and say nothing about either, and the wire is the part that actually decides whether a set rattles. The two shops price the base kit differently, so no figure is recorded.

TX Keyboard Carrying Case

TX

Keyboard Carrying Case

Case≈ $45

A hard shell case in three sizes, forty five dollars, with sloped inserts so a wrist rest tucks under the board and the keyboard sits level. Sensible if you carry an aluminium board to an office or a meetup, since a heavy case in a rucksack will damage keycaps. Check the internal dimensions against your board rather than trusting the layout labels. A padded sleeve costs a fifth of this and protects against scuffs, just not crushing.

TX Long 16mm Springs

TX

Long 16mm Springs

Spring≈ $7

Changing springs is the cheapest way to alter how heavy a switch feels without buying new switches, and at seven dollars fifty for 110 this is cheaper than almost any set. At 16mm these sit between TX short (14mm) and medium (15mm), so the extra preload over a stock spring is real but modest. Thirteen weights are offered, and the quoted variance is plus or minus 1g. Fitting them means opening every switch.

TX Switch Films

TX

Switch Films

Switch film≈ $5

Polycarbonate shims that sit between the top and bottom housing to take up slack in a loose switch. TX sells two thicknesses, 0.125mm for tight housings such as Holy Pandas and NK Creams, and 0.15mm for most others, 110 to a pack at around five dollars. Ordering the wrong thickness either does nothing or makes the housing bind. If your switches have no wobble already, filming buys you an evening of work and very little sound.

TX Switch Puller

TX

Switch Puller

Switch puller≈ $8

A stainless puller with a widened lower jaw, which spreads the load across the switch body instead of concentrating it on two latches. Eight dollars, four colours, designed by kin25. It is a genuinely better shape than the bent wire type, though a three dollar generic puller removes the same switches without bending pins if you are patient. TX notes the inside of the jaw may not carry the full painted finish.
