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.

We’re checking in to let you know the Massdrop x Rama Works M10-B Mini Pad is making its way through production!
We’ve done a few rounds of testing on the anodization, and made some updates to the Mini Pad chassis. PCB production is also progressing, and we’re now mixing the resin for the custom keycap colors. We’re also working to get a final sign off on the sample from Rama Works.
With collaboration projects like this, we often go through many rounds of verification and sign offs with our partner. The M10B project is taking slightly longer than we expected during this phase, and we’re cutting into our production buffer. We’re currently on track to meet our estimated ship date of August 17, but we wanted to give you all a heads up of this potential risk.
We’ll update everyone in July with the latest information.
Thank you
