DAE think people obsess over switches when their stabs are the real problem?

I finally stopped chasing the thock and went back to linears after a chat at a meetup in Omaha

Am I the only one who changed their whole lube game after a local meetup in Raleigh

A guy at the Columbus meetup told me my stabs were the loudest thing in the room, so I finally tried the band-aid mod

Update: my spacebar died mid email at the kitchen table and I fixed it with a twist tie from a bread bag

TIL the hard way that a hot swap socket can pull right off the board if you yank a switch

Dropped $180 on custom coiled cables for my two boards and they both died within 4 months

Rant: my cat knocked my half built 65% off the desk at 2am and I watched 6 weeks of lubing bounce across the floor

Swapped my stock stabs for lubed ones and the spacebar went from unusable to perfect in one evening

A guy at the Columbus meetup said my 65g springs were ruining my linears, so now I'm torn between sticking with heavy springs or going back to 50g

Tried lubing my switches with a paint brush from the dollar store, and now my W key clicks twice

Sat at my bench for 3 hours wondering why my spacebar kept rattling on one side, then I finally checked the stabilizer wire

PSA: I picked linears for my first build and my fingers hate me at 11pm

Pro tip: Don't lube your stabilizers with dielectric grease, I just spent 3 hours cleaning it out

Guy at the hardware store in Boise told me my stabilizers were the problem, not my switches
