Building boards with dry switches gives me the sound I love
I keep seeing posts about how lubing switches is a must for every build. I tried it once and felt it made my typing too quiet and less defined. Why do we push for such a uniform feel when different switches have their own charm?

Used to think lube was the only way to go, felt like I was doing it wrong if I skipped it. Then I built a board with some old stock Cherry blacks and left them bone dry. The sharp, defined sound and that bit of grit under your fingers, it just clicked for me. Now I get why some people chase that specific feel, it's a totally different experience. Pushing one "right" way to build kills the fun of trying stuff out.
