  im debating whether i should lube my gat blues, pro yellow, pro silvers. theyre already satisfyingly smooth, i see/hear no point on spending $20-30 on a lube kit
context: I know people who write for these sites, most of them know nothing about the topics they've to write about so they just google stuff for 5 mins and write like 500 words to get paid. Most of them are freelancers so they can't afford to invest in the topic. Hence, end making a vicious cycle of underpaid writers and Jack ass content. >
  
  hopefully chatGPT will get rid of all those waste of space. If someone is going to write totally useless articles that doesn't benefit anyone in terms of knowledge, why not AI ? >
  
  In my opinion it won't make any difference, cause I've seen some AI's popping up that detect if a piece has been written by an AI or not, just like plagiarism checker, but I can't say about their performance. Till those become mainstream, I believe you're right. >
  
  Mf calls himself an unashamed keyboard nerd, and has never lubed a switch before or even owned a custom. Lol >
  
  He also lubes one switch and has "100-odd more to go"... For a 75 percent. >
  
  Tbf, he may have bought a set of like 110 because that’s what the option was. >
  
  He also thinks that Asus plastic keyboard is "all weighty metal and enthusiast keeb pretentions", so yeah... he clearly doesn't know his ass from his elbow. >
  
  I mean, it's certainly not on the level of a lot of high end boards, but the Azoth is definitely aiming for the crossover in the Venn diagram of gamers and custom keyboard enthusiasts. Or put more simply, this is not your typical Asus keyboard. >
  
  It is a ludicrously priced plastic keyboard with an OLED and a free jar of lube. Some people are easily bought, given that for the money they are asking, you could buy an actual custom board. >
  
  Buying a typewriter apparently makes you a keyboard nerd now >
  
  "I'm obsessive about the infinitesimally different feel of different key switches, but I could detect absolutely no change in the smoothness of the press or the speed of the debounce."
  Reading that put me somewhere in-between loling and being completely speechless. I've only put one very expensive custom keyboard together so I can't even call myself obsessive, but the difference between no lube and lube was night and day for me. >
  
  Given how harsh halo trues are (and the fact that he’s never lubed switches before) I could easily foresee a scenario in which it feels the same to him. >
  
  You're probably right that it wouldn't be as impactful as it was for me with tangerines, but still... If you care about "infinitesimal" differences then you would notice. >
  
  That’s true, but if they claim to care about those kinds of differences but don’t even mention how they’ve never taken apart their switches before I know they’re basically lying out of their damn ass. 
  The first keyboard things I bought were 68g U4s with TX springs and a switch opener and I didn’t dare call myself an ‘obsessively detailed switch’ person. >
  
  PC Gamer and most of those gaming/tech news outlets are a total joke. They don't care about quality content that might actually be useful or interesting to somebody, they only care about clicks. >
  
  do you know any sites that you can recommend as alternatives? >
  
  I tend to browse Anandtech, Gamers Nexus (for videos), TechPowerUp, TechSpot, and Tom's Hardware. TechSpot and Tom's Hardware can be iffy sometimes but otherwise I feel like that's a pretty solid list. GN is simply fantastic, great content with objective reviews. >
  
  Tell me you dont know jack without telling me you dont know jack >
  
  To be 100% honest, most of the time improved sound is the bigger attribute I am looking for when I lube my switches. Better feel is great, especially if you have particularly scratchy switches, but the sound profile is just so much better to my ears after lubing. >
  
  PC gamer should really give him a ticket to a Mech-Meet.
  ​
  Where perfectly lubed keyboards are next to a normal, a overlubed, and a N00B lubed board.
  then see if he can see a difference >
  
  I think he needs to try more switches >
  
  dude probably just tested the switch without a keycap and not in the board and was like. yeah these are basically the same >
  
  this is clearly only true for nk creams >
  
  I have always been a horse rider my whole life...But I never seen a horse before. So here is my expert opinion about horses:
  They have only 2 legs.
  where is my paycheck as a senior editor? >
  
  do they think that mx browns are the best tactile as well? >
  
  So glad y’all posted this…that article made my heart ache… >
  
  I mean, the dude is using stock Halo Trues, what do we expect… >
  
  pc gamer is an imbecile >
  
  Tell me you've never actually used a lubed switch without telling me. 
  My mx browns with 65g springs and luber are a dream. >
  
  Verge put out an equally as mind numbing piece about mechs and I think it’s great fodder for the enthusiasts and does a good job of inadvertently gatekeeping. >
  
  Tfw lubing switches doesn't make them completely silent and I get a disapproving look from my wife🤦‍♂️ jesus christ
