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. With countless numbers of content creators talking about lubing switches, its no...

I need Wireless Mechanical Keyboards, and I was hoping there was more interest,
I own a Varmilo VB87M with Cherry Greens, and the bluetooth connection is anything but perfect due to my aluminium case, lots of noise from other wireless devices and the 5M/15F distance from my desktop.
I own a few wired mechanical keyboards but wires are no option for me, so i tend to only connect them for the show or whenever i am in the bios or bluetooth doesn't work for any reason.
I love to see the Exclusive Massdrop Keyboards, The new CTRL is awesome, And i am going to buy it, Only i love to sit on my couch with my keyboard on my lap, Even though i am going to buy the CTRL it is probably gonna collect dust since i like to sit confortable and i dont have a traditional desk setup.
Functions like Tenkeyless, Hot Swappable Switches, Fully programmable, And at least 2.4Ghz radio would be perfect. Something like an easy switch between USB/RF/BT would be even better. With 2 USB C connections for charging the keyboard, wired functionality and maybe WUSB so the keyboard works as a wireless hub for USB devices? Also RBG Leds are nice, but there must be a function to turn them completely off to save battery, talking about the battery it should last at least 2 months of 24/7 connection without any leds on, i don't know how badly leds will impact it
There is a lot of things massdrop could do to dominate the market, there are few good wireless mechanical keyboards, ive had them all and the Varmilo is the best, but it had its time, USB mini Bad bluetooth, no extras whatsoever, only 4 brightness settings a pulse setting, some media keys and no good alternatives makes this a golden opportunity for massdrop.
Please consider this, it would really make my life a lot better.
