    I just got these switches for my first custom keyboard build and they sound so good compared to my previous Razer Blackwidow v3. I lubes them and applied three layers of the tape mod, I also used the same keycaps as in the video which look incredible on my 65% Keychron v2. Thank you so much Hipyo for introducing me to these.

    I like the sound, feels deeper like pebbles tapping rather than metallic. Not sure how much of this is the keycaps because they always sound pretty good but I'm gonna give these a go!
    Might grab those keycaps too at some point, they do look really nice with the more rounded tops.

    Same here I don't lube the hole or top houseing. Also depending on the switch and if it's 205go or not I don't even lube the stem specially for jwks.
