Generally, the stiffer springs you go, the less tactility. If you want maximum tactility, I would go as low as 55g lubed but no lower. 55g feels amazing for typing but not so much for gaming because slower key releases can lead to the "sticking" feeling. If you lube however, it won't stick with 55g, at least for 1x1 keys. I find 62g to be the perfectly balanced spring for lubed ergo clears when typing/gaming.
Regarding break-in, pretty much what tp4 said. I'd say if you want to cut corners, just use/try for about a two months stock, at least, and then lube later.
Very good to know, thank you!
I guess I'll just have to tough it out for a couple of months (or more) before I lube 'em. Since I don't game a lot, though, I might try some 55g springs. Will stock blue springs (~60g I think) stick without lube?
Sigh....
stick is not "often" an issue.. How often do you "rely" on a double tap anyway.. almost never...
if you lube everything "but" the bump, under the intention that you'll lube the bump later.... that means you've opened and closed the switch TWICE...
1__remove key cap, open switch, remove stem, remove spring, apply lube, close, reapply keycap
2_____remove key cap, open switch, remove stem, apply lube, close
THAT is 2x the ton of work..Freaking 2-3 hours each time if you don't rush it.. if you want to do that to yourself... by all means...
NO it's NOT fun... and it hurts ur finger tips.
