Got a Cherry G86, who knows anything about this?

I opened my keyboard and pulled off the keys.

It was as in the videos attached, no surprise here.

The main surprise I had was that the keyscaps are lubed. You read that right. The keycaps have lube on their bases, because in a G86 it turns out that the keycaps are moving, not keyswitches! It didn't look like the silicon lube that they use on costar stabilizers; it's a more opaque light yellow/white lube.

G86 feels quite ok actually. Tactile enough, not mushy, something like Cherry reds. No tactile bump. All the idiotic posts at the top don't make sense.
