Hi, New to this

Hi,

I'm a software engineer from the UK. I thought it would be cool to get into this hobby after watching Taeha Types.

So I have preordered a PCB (Discipline v2, https://www.cftkb.com/shop/discipline), estimated to be shipped sometime in Feb.
I have just purchased mx clears also.
I guess the next thing for me is stabs and keycaps.

I did have a question though and this is probably not the correct place to ask, but what lube would you use for mx clears? Any help would be appreciated.

Anyway, this seems like a cool community, and if anyone wants to chat about softwarey type things feel free to message me.
I am a big fan of Golang and hope to learn Rust in the upcoming Advent of Code (https://adventofcode.com/2020).

Welcome doomed mortal.

I use Krytox 1514 VPF oil. Low friction and easy to bag lube. I always use cherry stabs. I’ve never seen the value in getting anything fancier aside from aesthetics. Good luck!

Yeah, I keep seeing the Krytox name everywhere. It is just the different numbers that confuse me a little.
I am guessing low viscosity is used for tactile switches?
Also not sure how common it is to use different viscosities of lube for different parts of the keyboards (switches and stabs).
