lube makes a lot of difference. my first 62g clear board was not lubed. I didn't like it at all.
but now, I prefer lubed 62g clear over vintage black. No offense 0168257061

Yeah, lube the stems on the sliders, and the part where the sliders make contact on the switch housing. Geekhack and reddit has great guides for this. Don't lube anything metal as they are not going to affect the switch feel.

You spend a thousand bucks on a new keyboard. Custom made and all. Top of the line switches, board and keycaps. Suddenly you balk at buying good lube.

Go use KY jelly instead then.

lube both side slider enuf one.

Sry bro, not enough sleep, so no patience today.

But the point stands... it's like people buy nice phone but cheapo pasar malam cover that doesn't fit properly. It just sucks and smell of cheapness.

If >=50% left, sell to me. I will buy from you. Serious.

superlube enough. dampens all the sound.

Hi mechanical keyboard enthusiasts.

I just entered mechanical keyboard world. Bought my first new mechanical keyboard a few days ago. It's with blue switches. It was a fun typing experience until I typed on some keys that did not produce the same sound and did not felt like others. There seems to be a problem (under my understanding) with some of the switches/keys.

From what I know, generally, blue switches should produce that click sound. But some keys on my keyboard have mushy sound, almost like no click at all.

I have a video of the situation.

In this video, I recorded the F3 key sound, which did not click like F2 and F4.

This is my first mechanical keyboard so I have no practical experience dealing with this. I'm hoping long time users of mechanical keyboard can shed some light on this.

Do you think it's a defective switch? Should I send for a replacement?

Thanks joonwei23. In that case, I decided to just go straight for a replacement since it's still a few days since unbox. It's very unfortunate to experience my first mechanical keyboard with this defect. I have to say, this Corsair keyboard disappointed me a lot because for other keys that do click, still there are a lot of inconsistency. Sometimes they click sometimes they don't. Even though I fully released the key before pressing them again.

guys i just bought a cheap blank keycap set from taobao
n i have use it for 1 months plus
my problem is y i got this oily feeling when i touch the keycaps but my keyboard is is nth near to oil ?
then i change back to the ori pbt keycaps then dun have tat oily feel ady ?
explanation any?

Dolch hype is not over yet in GH it seems.
I am interested with the green mod. 

Do  you mean faceu replica? 
eh shit that casing.
nice timing. Can put faceu replica in it then goes bling2

the greens look very nice. soothing to the eye also. burn wallet

also 016, the pcb (according to ts in ec) handed to the soldering guys. might expect the pcb anytime soon

not to mention TEX 60% alu case could be in Massdrop soon.

Sos Check out the discussions section.

saving for? share the poison

side led is possible. but not the imba side led like in gons.
I've asked some taobao seller selling acrylic case and they've pictures of side led.

seller said under the z/shift key solder the led while maintaining the z/shift key leds that's on top.
the leg for the top led must not be cut too short cause you would solder the led under the key with the legs on top of the key

he mentioned that the led will be dimmer but from that I can see the dim is not dim at all till it's really insignificant.

always try first before solder lol

If the pcb doesn't support side leds and u want the effect, u can to sacrifice the led holes for switches by:
1. reverse mount the led, bend the leg and cut it to short enough without interfere with other components.
2. soldering smd leds.
