the layout is good, i esp like that they put fn on the right instead of cramming it into the bottom left corner like a bunch of mfgs do. p suspicious of the quality of this bpard tho; pls report back to this thread and update with same

its well reviewed on amazon, most of the complaints are around the keycap font (which isn't great) but for $40 i figure it cant be that bad

the marketing is real dumb, it's mostly for modified keyboards, or diy/whatever. usually the stabiliser wires and stuff are already lubricated when you buy a keyboard, otherwise they tent to stick in weird places and feel kinda unpleasant. some folks lubricate the inside of mechanical switches as well - it can help if a switch is lovely and sticks funny - i have a left arrow where the switch must be defective cos it sticks halfway through its travel.

other than that, the grease just attracts dust and gunks stuff up, don't use it if you can avoid it lol

i mean, having a padded bag or w/e for carrying your keyboard around if you're travelling is good, my last one got busted during a move cos i kinda just chucked it in the back of the car, i really dont get the appeal otherwise

a friend recently bought a gateron board and feels they're better than cherry, plunger moves more smoothly apparently

I agree re: gaterons unfortunately their version of clears are zealios which don't come on anything pre-built and are expensive as gently caress
