If that's the case for you, you apparently lube a LOT. Good for you if that's the type of switch you enjoy, I personally can't stand the "buttery smooth" thick 205g0 layer feeling. It's a bit like 5 layers of foam in every board for me. Makes every board sound decent, but kills all individuality and blends everything into mediocracy.

With a thick layer of 205g0 most linears are indeed indistinguishable, but with a thin layer of 205 or a bit of 3204 many sound and feel very distinct. Hell, even a milky top and clear top gateron yellow with the same bottoms, springs and stems sounds and feels noticeably different.

Mediocracy. When no one notably fit to govern shall be allowed to do so.

I accomplish minimal lubing by only applying a thin application to stems. No lube needed anywhere else. Springs need lubricant as well.

That's usually my approach too. Thin layer of 3204 on the stem (205 if it is a very scratchy switch), then baglubed springs, and assemble.
