This is interesting:

It's not the ricercar SPOS, it's the regular one with the Cymotion style keys. Note how they mention greasing the key stems - I have found that this does help the feel and sound of the G86 rubber dome boards, although the G86 don't feel bad without the grease - they're definitely one of the best rubber domes I've ever tried (no, I haven't tried a Topre).

Cherry has to grease the stems on their rubber domes? God, that's yet more crappy than I thought.

Hello! I am ricercar, and I approve of this mesage.
I trolled Geekhack and all I got was an eponymous SPOS.

They've got a Facebook page, if anybody's interested. This is where I found the video.

(No talk about that stupid bloody Farmville though! You're Geekhackers, people.)
