I just use dielectric grease. I found it far more consistent with dealing with stab rattle. If I feel fancy I do a holee and band-aid mod.

haha yep, same. its actually very stress relieving, very therapeutic to stream consciousness and type, on the spot journaling off the cuff. love it. of course when i do it, no caps, just punctuation. questionable grammar. lol good times.

Woman here with super small hands 🙌. Like I can wear kid size gloves 🧤 and I can’t fit women’s extra small. This keyboard is great!

Here I sat thinking it was very common. I took typing my freshman year of high school, the goal of the class was touch typing (they would cover your hands and keyboard near the end of the class)

Yep when I'm testing out something I changed. Just stream-of-consciousness stuff that reads like "okay this is me testing these new switches. I don't think I like the sound profile. Maybe I should switch back to those gateron yellows but I thought those felt a little squishy. I guess i'll add another set of switches to my collection that I don't really like. Oh well, maybe they will feel better in a future build. Why does the spacebar feel so spongy all of a sudden? I will try turning it upside down. Yep that feels better. So weird that that works."

Dielectric grease for your stab wires is a godsend. Thicccc af and cheap. I do find though holee modding is a good insurance policy against rattle though.

Stabilizer tuning is absolutely the most annoying part of the build process.
