Rant: My keyboard sounded like a bag of gravel until I tried a different lube method
I built a board with Gateron Oil Kings about three weeks ago, and the sound was just awful, super scratchy and loud. After watching a video from a builder in Portland, I tried lubing just the bottom housing rails and the stem legs, skipping the springs entirely. The difference after letting it sit for a day was crazy, it went from that gritty noise to a smooth, deep thock. Has anyone else had a switch turn out better with less lube?

Yeah, less is more with lube sometimes.

Honestly saw a video where they said overlubing can make switches sound muddy. Tbh your method of just hitting the rails makes total sense now.
