Not a dumb question at all; these small keyboards are pretty niche and unorthodox. There are many ways people set them up. Most people have a mod key that functions like shift, but instead it changes qwerty to 123456. I have a bottom left key next to space change the left side of my keyboard to a num pad layer.

>Basing happiness and conquers on material things in this way isn't healthy
What makes you think he bases his happiness on this? Some people just like collecting things as a hobby. Deskmats are actually cheap. Less than a tank of gas. (shrug).

>It’s true
Is it? It's TRUE that anyone who collects deskmats has rich parents? That's true is it? There's something not quite right with you. The OP has already been bullied into explaining himself because of idiots like you, and you were wrong. He's earned his money, and the right to spend it on whatever the fuck he wants, so stop being a judgemental prick.

>A person that collects desk mats doesn’t have an income. They have rich parents who have no idea this is where their money goes.
And you know this how exactly? Do you know the OP? You're all over this thread criticising the OP. Anyone would think you are jealous ;) For all you know, he could just have a disposable income he enjoys spending on a hobby that gives him pleasure. Why are you so judgemental of others?

How do you know he bases his happiness on this? Stop being judgemental.

You are making assumptions about the OP. Collecting things is not really bad for your mental health. Would you say the same for someone who collects postage stamps?

>Wtf. You don't need this much bro it doesn't matter how much disposable income you got.
People like to collect things. I don't see why it bothers you. Deskmats are cheaper than a tank of gas. They are cheaper than a bottle of decent whisky. They are cheaper than a meal in a restaurant. They are cheaper than a night out in a night club. They are cheaper than most video games.Stop judging people because they spend their money in a different way than you.

>Yes, we know that but why? Why is it important to grab another desk mat when you already have one? It doesn't answer the why.
Why is it so important to know why? He likes them. They're not that expensive really. Cheaper than a tank of gas. People like to collect things. Why are you picking on the poor guy?

Just to add onto this, make sure you are very careful when washing mouse pads. If you scrub or use too much force, or any force at all even, you can very easily damage the surface causing a completely worse tracking experience with your mouse (inconsistent and slow dragging). This happened a couple times with my cloth Zowie G-SR pads. You also want to use room temperature or lukewarm water.

I think that the wobble came in after opening the switches, not strictly related to the lubing.
I tested some before opening them and didn't notice any wobble. The other keyboard mounts Drop Holy Panda X and I didn't need to film them at all. They were solid as a rock once closed after lubing.
I admit that I don't know the exact specification of the two, but from a direct typing comparison, I feel a bit faster on the Panda X keyboard

That’s super interesting because the original U4T, at least according to switches.MX are super tight housings with minimal wobble. The U4TX even has a dust proof step for even less wobble, advertises as one of the lowest wobble switches.
That’s super strange. And don’t the U4T have a shorter actuation than majority of switches at like 1.3mm actuation and 3.1mm total instead of the common 2mm and 4? I assume the U4TX would be the same, right? Most holy panda variants I know of are 2mm and 4mm to 3.4mm total like the rest.
And the wobble got worse after lubing? I’ve never heard of that, maybe that’s just something that’s flown over my head in the years.
Which holy pandas are you using? There’s lots of variations from different companies.
I’m super intrigued as I was gonna do a build with these but now I’m scratching my head hearing this?
Shouldn’t these be more stable and faster?
