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.

I went through several individually and picked colors that were about average across them (since it varies depending on when sets were sold). Here's some Pantone color chips taken next to my sunlit window. So, not perfectly color corrected in this shot, but pretty close!
First of all, if you're new to the keyboard world and don't have a board yet to stick the caps on (or if you have a friend or relative you'd like to buy an awesome gift for), we've got a bundle for you to make things easy. You can get the great TKL Code keyboard with brown switches, a keycap puller, a detachable cord, and some extra caps to swap around.
Also, as a fun thing, if you've ever wanted to play Scrabble with keycaps (who hasn't), we have the fun Scrabble bag set to let you do just that! It has all 100 tiles from a regulation Scrabble set.
I can't wait to see what y'all put together with this set. Thanks for playing!
