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...

FYI: To purchase from gmarket internationally with your credit card, you will need to get authorised, else your order will be cancelled automatically. Here are the steps on how I got authorized, I can't say for sure these are the exact steps since they don't really have the procedures written anywhere. 1. I sent an email to fcard@corp.gmarket.co.kr to request authorisation, with my name, gmarket ID and contact number, I also sent them a photo of my identity card just in case. 2. They replied and requested an authorization code for the order that was recently cancelled for me(because the payment wasn't authorized), from my card/bank company. (Perhaps you can send them the codes in your first email to save time.) 3. So I contacted my bank about this matter, and they replied pretty quickly, they seemed pretty aware of what's going on, so they gave me the codes for all of my failed gmarket transactions. 4. I sent the code back to fcard@corp.gmarket.co.kr , for some reason they responded within minutes.
I'm not too sure what they would request for if you haven't made a failed transaction before, but they will probably let you know after you sent that first email.
Then I tried for about one month to get may payment authorized. Made about 3 tickets, wrote several emails. But they always are sorry and say that they didn't get a request for authorization from me. And the other way round I didn't get an authorization code from them, only support ticket answers.
How can I order, If they are unable to authorize me and often answer with standard text blocks on how to do the authorization procedure??
So that's how I got authorized, hope it helped.
And since I didn't have established that functionality before my order, the transaction didn't provide a 2nd factor authorization code.
So now I should try to order again. I only have to decide if I should take the Hansung CHL8 (no LED, but cheaper). Or the ABKO Hacker K945p (I don't like that clear plastic from what I can see in the pictures)
