Keychron K2 with Red switches. I was well into the “research” phase of the hobby, watching YouTube videos and reading up on everything I could get my hands on. Made the plunge and got the K2 and immediately took it apart. Desoldered the switches for the stabs and clipped and lubed them and added some foam that came in the packaging to the bottom of the case. Found a small brush with just the right thickness so I could lube the switches with Krytox 205G0 without having to desolder the entire board. I heard this could lead to inconsistent lube on the switches but I haven’t noticed that myself. This was about 6 months ago, now I’ve got an additional two 60% keyboards that I built from “generic” parts, one with Gateron blacks in a plastic case and the other with mauve switches in a low profile aluminium case. Still learning a lot but damn am I hooked. Looking forward to my first TKL some time next year.
