"I'm obsessive about the infinitesimally different feel of different key switches, but I could detect absolutely no change in the smoothness of the press or the speed of the debounce."

Reading that put me somewhere in-between loling and being completely speechless. I've only put one very expensive custom keyboard together so I can't even call myself obsessive, but the difference between no lube and lube was night and day for me.

Given how harsh halo trues are (and the fact that he’s never lubed switches before) I could easily foresee a scenario in which it feels the same to him.

You're probably right that it wouldn't be as impactful as it was for me with tangerines, but still... If you care about "infinitesimal" differences then you would notice.

That’s true, but if they claim to care about those kinds of differences but don’t even mention how they’ve never taken apart their switches before I know they’re basically lying out of their damn ass.

The first keyboard things I bought were 68g U4s with TX springs and a switch opener and I didn’t dare call myself an ‘obsessively detailed switch’ person.
