[@JoolsTurrall]

For those of you who have just received your QK65 and realised this build guide is pretty brief, and if after opening your owlstabs packet realise you have way more 'things' than is shown here, and if you haven't lubed stabs before, then here a couple of extra videos to help you get going. How to lube your stabs and why kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6SxqWSVmZV7mLM How to setup owlstabs with all those extra bits kzbin.info/www/bejne/maDLpqugot5pmrs This should be the most trickiest parts, unless you got a board that requires soldering. Or until you start modding ;)

[@Qahtanite]

is lubing your stabs optional? or is it mandatory because I dont have lube laying around

[@JoolsTurrall]

@@Qahtanite It is entirely optional, it's really done for a sound and feel improvement. But these stabs are already a big improvement on 'standard' stabs. It all depends on what you're used to and how far you're obsession with sound and feel drives you. You can lube them later if you choose. It's also far easier than lubing switches... that's a whole other set of videos 😉

[@potatavious]

@@Qahtanite it's optional, but if you get a board of this caliper, its basically mandatory, as they can break or make a build

[@qwertykeys2119]

@@Qahtanite i'd say mandatory tbh... you'll feel the diff after you build it with unlubed stabs

Cannot wait for my QK65 Black Chroma to get shipped out and arrive to be built! I'm guessing the Black Chroma will be the last to ship as the chroma process might be the most time consuming of all the weights?
