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.

I am not linking to it, but you can easily find it on Amazon as "team wolf CIY keyboard", with choice of red / blue / brown switches. In fact, it's imported by several companies and may be listed under their own name.
I'm checking TeamWolf's Chinese website. I'm coming up blank.
I see the Zhuque TKL, the Zhuque 104, Void Storm 104, but the RGB version is "Void Ray CIY"

HOWEVER, it's messy in that there's also a NON-Swappable Void Ray II that's NOT RGB and not even Mechanical.
Beware, beware.
The only TKL in their inventory is the Zhuque, and it only comes in "mixed backlight" edition.
for people who want to see for themselves... teamwolf.cc is their website. It supposedly offers English website, but translation is sloppy and incomplete, with more than half of the stuff still in Chinese.
