Post by: Luciqueii on Sun, 26 August 2018, 07:37:34

Hello, everyone, I have ordered some parts for my 60% build, but there are some parts missing.

Lets start with the easy question - you probably want an A to mini cable for most GH60 PCBs, but the satan version is a name given to many dodgy Chinese copies so hard to be sure.

As to lube you're lubing plastic not skin, so definitely not 4 :))  1 is a spray so that will probably make a big mess trying to get it on tiny switch stems!  There isn't a lot of text on the other links and I don't speak Swedish...

Generally speaking the only way to buy the lube we use in a keyboard compatible quantity is through a dedicated vendor, such as zeal or techkeys.

GH60 Rev A/B/C and Satan use USB A to Mini USB. The GH60 Satan is a good PCB aside from the switches being mounted upside down which prevent Cherry profile keycaps from reaching full travel.
