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.

Dear MassDrop, I asked before if the previous issue/s were ironed out, seems they aren't. The cap as it stand now is unusable due to the horrible short depth in the stem. While I like this cap a lot, it's just not worth it when there are plenty of 3D cap makers who produce far better quality caps for cheaper. I am curious if someone isn't doing their job? Who approves this after having put in on a keyboard, took pictures for the drop and clearly they knew it wouldn't seat right and can fall off if pressed? It is unacceptable.

Am I getting paid for this extra effort to make something work as it should out of the box? No. And I want 3D caps to succeed but they won't if you give them a bad name here.
