Honestly thought lubing every single spring was just a waste of time until my friend pointed out the scratchy 'ping' on my new $400 build was coming from the unlubed ones I'd skipped.
Ngl, I only did the ones I could see through the housing and the difference after doing them all was so clear I felt like an idiot, so what's the most tedious step you guys have skipped and later regretted?

My buddy built a whole board without clipping his stabilizer wires because the guide said it was a minor tweak. The rattle was so bad it sounded like a bag of spare change. He finally took it apart months later and snipped them, and the difference was night and day. He said skipping that five minute job just to save time was his biggest newbie mistake.

Yeah I saw a build guide that called lubing springs "optional for sound" and took that as permission to skip it. My first board had this awful metallic ring on the spacebar that drove me nuts for months. Finally went back in with a brush and some 205g0, and it was like a whole new switch. Never trusting a shortcut again.
