That's a rather thick grease but if you go really light they shouldn't stick on you - you'd probably be better off with thinner lube though.

My first TKL using Cerulean tactiles.

Not 100% sold on the keycaps, so any suggestions for colourway that would go well with transparent ink would be appreciated.

Krytox 205g0 seems to be the standard for switches. For stabs, Permatex dielectric grease. I've heard some people use Loctite for stabs, but make sure you get GREASE, not super glue!

All preference. Cherry and OEM feel the same, uniform profiles like XDA took a bit of getting used to for me at first, but they work great as well.

I prefer putting flat profile keycaps on boards with a small typing angle and the sculpted ones on boards with more.

Got the same set as you but the darker version. Lovely caps, happy to have em.

Great looking keyboard! Is the Alice layout a major adjustment from standard qwerty?

I mean yeah if you’re the type to overlube switches and stabs in general the sluggish nature of what OP is about to experience probably won’t feel all that different. It’ll be like typing in quicksand
