    Cherry clip ins get you 95% of the way to the others. Cherry clip ins with C3 wires are top tier.

      IMO in 2023 with so many modern stabs out there I don’t see any reason to be using Cherry or Durock anymore. I’ve used Cherry stabs back in the day, and they aren’t in the same realm as stabs like Staebies or TX. But if you’re happy that’s all that matters. I posted this in case people were making a buying decision. 🫡

        wtf do you mean? You spend a few dollars on Cherry vs 20-30 for TX/Staebies. Not spending a bunch of money for (potentially) marginal gains is not worth it.

      Definitely not 95% of the way there, maybe like 75%. They require significantly more modding and tuning after the fact as well. Personally, I still use them, because I buy in bulk from taobao and get full sets for <$5.

      They’re much better if you use third party wires though, as you say. C3 and CK wires are good choices.

        Are you using genuine cherry stabs or clones?
