Do I Need to Lube My Keyboard Switches?
Figure 1: Sometime around here is a good time to ask that question... If you’re new to the mechanical keyboard hobby, I have no doubt that planning your first keyboard build is a bit of a daunting task. To be entirely honest with you, it’s only a tiny bit less daunting for your second or even third keyboard builds should you stay around a little while longer. You’ve got the keyboard itself to worry about, stabilizers, keycaps, and even switches on top of all of the intangible marks you want your dream keyboard to hit. Switches are especially daunting right out of the gate as there’s just so many options out there to pick from – each with their own unique specifications, manufacturers, and more. Yet, in spite of all of these differences between switches, time and time again I find people always asking about lubing switches as one of their chief concerns when it comes to picking some up. With countless numbers of content creators talking about lubing switches, its no...

ALT V2 not detected with Drop Keyboard Configurator
Hi, This is my first non-mac keyboard. I was under the impression that this would work out of box with with mac desktop however I am having issues getting the ALT V2 detected with the keyboard configurator software. The keyboard is plugged in and powered on. Apologies if this is very basic or if I have used incorrect language describing my issue, I don't have experience with this. Thank you

In answer to your query about the typing experience of mx greens, I absolutely love them but it all comes down to your individual typing style. For example, my girlfriend has a light and very precise style of typing and she can't stand the greens; says it's like trying to swim through molasses. If she types on the greens in a way that comes naturally to her, she sometimes just glides over a key and it doesn't hit the actuation point and register. Compared to her, I'm like a bear mashing at the keyboard with hulk-fist gloves so they're perfect for me. On the greens I can type in a way that comes naturally and fast to me and I don't make mistakes, whereas switching back to reds forces me to use a lighter and more precise touch that feels like I have to put effort into being dainty and... I don't do dainty very well. The extra actuation force of the greens allows me to make contact with incorrect keys as I type while only registering the key that I intend to hit.
In comparison to blues, the only difference is the force required to press the key. The feel of the bump, actuation point and sound are all identical but the force required to reach the actuation point, push through the bump and bottom out the key are all increased, seemingly in the same proportion.
Greens are a great key, but I feel like they're a love or hate kind of thing so do your best to find a set to try before making the investment. Failing that, it comes down to whether your typing style is light and tight or loose and heavy. If it's the latter, you won't go wrong with greens... Just make sure to get them with o-rings because they're loud enough as is.
