  Yeah something that helps is holding the back of the pcb, basically the socket, while inserting the switch :) that decreases the chances but you have to take the board apart. Which I suggest putting something in there because sound is hollow
context: Buttery smooth best budget thock linears= Gateron milky yellow pros(prelubed)
  Idk about tactiles >
  
  For tactile, I'd say akko cs lavenders. Idk how they are prelubed. >
  
  Their factory lubing is ass tbh. They're hella loud so they need a fair amount of krytox because tribosys didn't do shit. But after krytox they're smooth as silk while still retaining a nice chunky tactility assuming you avoided the legs. Plus they sound like the building sound from the Lego games, which is great. >
  
  Akko makes some good switches at budget prices. I would check them
  Out >
  
  I got the lavender purples(tactile) for my first build, and am excited to try them out. I do know that you can get some of their cs switches pre-lubed and for pretty cheap as well. >
  
  The Lavender Purples are probably similar, but I loved the Jelly Purples on my first build. They were very nice - I have since upgraded to a larger bump that I prefer, but I would recommend Akko switches to anyone. >
  
  Jwk yellows or blacks (depend on spring weight), their basically the cheap alpacas. >
  
  Ok! Thanks! >
  
  I highly vouch for both. The tactiles are incredible. >
  
  Do yourself a big favor, save your money for now, and attend a keyboard meetup in your area.
  Try out all the different switches you can find, decide which ones you really like, then save up to buy THOSE switches.
  If those switches end up being cheap, that's great.
  Even if they don't, you'll end up much happier in the long run.
  Switches are the one area you don't want to skimp on.
  They are what links you to the keyboard, and they provide the majority of your "experience", while using the board.
  I will take good switches, with a cheap case and keycaps, over a good quality board with cheap switches, every time.
  They make that big a difference. >
  
  Ktt Kang White v3's are some very affordable linear switches from AliExpress. >
  
  Ok, thanks for the suggestion! >
  
  That looks really clean, as far as switches go, Gateron Milky Yellow Pros!! >
  
  Thank you! >
  
  Akkos red rose
  Recommended i personally use them on my daily keyboard >
  
  Thanks for the advice! >
  
  Siiiiiiick >
  
  Thank you! I'm sure yours is sick too. >
  
  Is that a wooden case?? >
  
  Sadly, no. Plastic. Just painted it with some spray paint. >
  
  This is a good keyboard however watch out for the hot swap dying or breaking off. This happened to me twice. Same brand. Two different boards. >
  
  Thanks for the advice! Will be carefull.
