Thoughts on my first mod:

I have lube but didn’t apply any. Not sure if I really need to or not.

Only managed to mess up one of the switches, miraculously (bent one of the metal pins too much).

Learned how much it can really strain your wrists to pull out 60 switches.

Keycaps are a little glossier and shorter than the stock ones that came with C2 but not bad.

you r key looks jank. needs to be pushed down more

Thanks! I hadn’t noticed that. It’s fixed

Get a good switch puller. The small ones they bundle in with Keychrons aren’t great and if you ever think you’ll swap out switches more often it’s worth getting a good switch puller. Enjoy the board!

I just built a C2 for my dad for Christmas, and were your stabs so over-lubed from the factory that they looked like the person who did it was frosting a cake?

Because other than that I was really impressed with the quality of everything.

In general the U4T (and possibly most of Gazzew's switches) are designed to be used stock (tight tolerances), as you'll notice leaf ping and spring crunch are almost non-existent.

Putting lube might make them feel sluggish so be sure to use little if you do decide to apply.
