Jaja my wife just hates when I lay out all the parts and especially Krytox. I usually start very enthusiastic but when I'm around the 30th switch I become grumpy and start asking myself existential questions like: " is it really true that Cherry Switches will last more than 100k actuations"....

Love the colour of that Keycult. I hope it has the burgundy alloy plate to go with it.

That’s like a big brain move as long as security don’t think your krytox syringe is drugs😅

>Lol, save the evolutionary psych nonsense.
(shrug) If that's what you think it is.
Anything can form addictive behaviours, even things that for most people would seem quite innocuous. It's not the activity itself that is dangerous, but the underlying condition that leads to that behaviour. Basically, someone with a proclivity for addictive behaviour will usually find something to feed that addiction. Millions of people all over the world collect things avidly, feel FOMO when they see things, and do not suffer any psychological harm from doing so. I appreciate that your perspective has been coloured by your own personal experience, but I really don't think the OP has a problem. He sounds quite sanguine about the whole thing, and from what he says, seems to have a disposable income to support his collection, so I would not worry unduly.

It’s just a split layout in a non-split case. The Boardwalk PCB features this layout as well as some other orthos.

Yeah I just thought that 205g0 isn't flammable so it should be fine.

I just finished lubing a 60% yesterday. First 10 switches in and I already gave up lol. Had to do it by batch. I still have a tkl and 65% board that I have to lube, but I'm still trying to find the motivation to do so.

Yeah I was kinda scared to do this. I did this a couple days after the Hawaiian airlines incident.

I actually do not know that's why I'm curious... Krytox is not flammable so maybe that's why they don't care, still not edible though :)

Is it illegal? I didn't see lubricant as a banned item and didn't have problems with security.

I actually do, I regularly use Excel as well as other software requiring extensive use of the F-row and also frequently have to type e-mails. I know for sure some people are using the same layout for programming.

Can you travel with Krytox in the cabin?

I got it from taobao like a year ago, it's a really cheap but functional cable, maybe you can find a similar one on AliExpress
