Reply to comment by Catch_022 in Keychron K6 I built for work by JSP777

They are factory lubed so I did not touch them (for now), so I also did not clip the stab stem legs (but I will when I lube them myself). I'm not an expert in this hobby at all, but for me, the factory lube is quite good actually.

My only pain with the board is that the 2 screws holding the plate and PCB together is absolute crap, and my screwdriver demolished them, so I couldn't separate them in the end... I had to put the switch tabs in with a tweezer between the plate and PCB, it was so annoying.

Sounds good, I would probably leave them as well.

That little line at each of the corners of the case at the top is the only other thing that is worrying me. Is it sharp/noticeable?

It's not really noticable. The aluminium frame is made from 4 elements on the 4 sides, the little line is where they meet. You can watch a modding video to get a better idea. The frame gives more weight and a more prémium feel to the board (because the case itself is plastic).

Thanks mate I am looking for a 65% and this is at the top of my list, if only it came with yellows!

Well it's hotswap (this version), so you can have any switches you want for a little extra price :)
