Got schooled on switch lubing at a coffee shop meetup in Boise

I was at a small keyboard meet last month, showing off my new build. This guy named Mark asked to try it and immediately said, "Your spacebar sounds like a bag of rocks." He pulled a tiny brush and a vial of 205g0 from his bag right there. He showed me how I was missing the side rails completely. Now I spend an extra 10 minutes per switch on that step. Anyone else have a public build critique that stuck with you?

Totally feel that, public feedback is brutal but it works. Got my first board called a "marshmallow thumper" at a library meet because the stabilizers were totally unlubed. The guy just shook his head and made a sad face, it was way worse than if he'd just yelled. Now I over-lube everything out of pure fear.

Public shaming is the best teacher, HONESTLY. My first build got roasted for sounding like a typewriter from 1982.
