Sticky/slow stabilizers troubleshooting

I’ve had this problem with a few different stacked-acrylic alice/arisu boards where the fit of the plate is off by just enough to make the stabilizer function so slowly, and inconsistently, that I end up getting destroyed in multiplayer games or just annoyed in desktop usage. It is extremely frustrating and loosening the stabilizer screws helped a little, but the only thing that really fixed it in the end was replacing the plate. It’s a nightmare and the one board I have left from that group buy sits in a drawer because I hired a popular streamer with a desoldering tool to fix it, and now it has other issues with the PCB occasionally bridging some contacts and causing various switches to light up when only one was hit. Waste of 65 good switches.
