First time posting in mech kb thread... me --> noob so bear with any errors.
- initially got poisoned when someone talked abt custom korean kb, gatal2 wanted to try building myself one.
- cost very high, with tax and stuff can go beyond 1k+
- rethink about my situation and now sort of delay it to future.
- got idea fix what I have, a Razer BWU original.
- Problem with that BWU : 1) LEDs dying, at this time of typing this 5 LEDs are dead
2) MX blue are noisy, wake up my mom easily at midnight
3) Key switches felt inconsistent, like some have degraded after 3 years of use
4) My sister complain kb like showing signs it is failing. Now I use laptop at college, basically my sis own that KB and pc d.
5) Shiny acrylic top is fingerprint magnet, and it scratches.
- Ideas that have : 1) Buy new MX Brown switches, and change all the MX blues out
2) Change all the LEDs, maybe will change another colour, not sure. White?
3) Change out original spring to korean spring, I saw someone selling, but gold plated one don't have.
4) Add stickers to the switch as well
5) Lube all the new switches
6) Either polish that shiny acrylic top piece to shine or sand it down and coat with plastidip
* seems like most parts can be obtained from lyn seller
- Why I do so : 1) Give me and my sister that smile when we type on it
2) Looks like a good weekend project (I think I can finish in one day)
3) Gain experience, have fun modding stuff, I like modding stuff

I forgot where i read from but apparently razer use refurbished switches.
Why do you want to lube browns? Brown's tactility already very less, lubing it will lessen it more.
Some people reported that gold springs is stiffer compared to normal ones. This is something that i personally am not sure yet.
