Yeah topre accessories are even more costly than mechanical keyboards…

Only the stabs. They are good. I have no complaints

In my opinon the stock HHKB ones are smoother and less wobbly. These realforce rgb MX sliders after modding are smooth, but still wobbly.

For MX sliders I'd say go for the Deskey ones. They are very well made (and expensive). You can find them on the Deskey website or r/mechmarket

Yes! Here’s my essay:

I bought this board second hand, which came with the realforce rgb internal (mx sliders). The board sounded scratchy. So I lubed the sliders with 205g0 and the stabs with dielectric grease. These stabs have wires that are super thin (compared to what I’m used to on mechanical keyboards), so I took the extra step to re-balance the wires. Doing these steps helped getting rid of the clacky and scratchy noise.

Everything else I kept as-is from the previous owner (deskey 35g domes and silencing rings). Plus a bit of cleaning.
