Do I Need to Lube My Keyboard Switches?
Figure 1: Sometime around here is a good time to ask that question...

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.

As for your profile preference question, please give the review I made a read, click on MORE and it will show up!

For said keyboard, the Cockpit kit will be enough!
