This weekend, I will be building my first custom mechanical keyboard.
Components: F12 Silver Frog TKL, SA-P Industrial PBT Keycaps, Alpaca v2 Switches, Everglide PCB Screw-in Stabilizer V2, Hotswap PCB (86,F12 Tsangan). I also purchased the case foam, board foam, alu plate, FR4 full plate, hard tadpoles, and soft tadpoles.
Here is my plan: start with alu plate, unlubed switches (they are factory lubed), unlubed/unmodded stabs, hard tadpoles, and no foam. Then I plan to slowly add mods one at a time, every other week, so I can truly learn how each mod feels/sounds. I realize that some mods (like the foam) are frowned upon but I purchased these just for the learning experience.
Two questions: 1) does this plan make sense, and 2) will I damage my switches, stabs, or plates by not using lube from the start?
