Re: Questioning the lubing of switches
Also one thing for me lubing newbie to know more about in general is "over-lubing" - never know if I lubed my switches and stabs enough until they're obviously "over-lubed".

Re: Questioning the lubing of switches
I have a series of videos planned for the future about restoring Alps switches, and in one of them I'm going to do a side-by-side comparison of different lubricants (which I'm in the process of acquiring atm). I also want to use that opportunity to talk about how lubrication works and what the diff...

Re: Do any modern Laptops have even halfway decent keyboards?
What is "halfway decent"? If rubberdome are not mechanical, then all Topre boards are not either. And the chiclet switches ("scissors") are more mechanical than Topre in its moving mechanism. If you want "true mechanical", in a lot of people's mind in the community defined as "mechanical and without...

Re: Objective reasons for using a mechanical keyboard
When it comes to an objective reason for a personal preference, it can be futile, e.g. “this car is faster”, some doesn’t care; “this car is more comfortable”, but some cares about the price most, etc.
