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.

Its Christos from the Planfab team again.
We just finished one more Keycap for Cherry MX switches.

You can find out more keycaps ιn our shop!
Feedback and recommendations are welcome.
Cheers
Christos
