    This is amazing! Thank you so much, I love your other vids too. This one just confirms what I've managed to piece together over the last year, haha. I've already just purchased a hotswappable and some extra switch types. What would be great for future concise videos like this would be: how to source less expensive than GMK but still quality keycaps, tools for modding, and how to navigate group buys. These are my next steps. Also I'm glad this is a safe space to talk about lube, sans judgement.
