Mind if I PM you some questions? Just ordered the keyboard and it's my first mechanical one
Looking to do the spray paint mod and lube the springs up
Yes boss. Unless you have some artisans that have a thick stem coming out the bottom. But normal keycaps should fit just fine.
When you come to a conclusion, be sure to share the knowledge and methods followed here as well please...Mind if I PM you some questions? Just ordered the keyboard and it's my first mechanical one

After a 2am impulsive decision, here are the results
That looks the part for sure! Guess I'm spraying my plate white as well. Your RGB looks so much better than on my board. I have a full white keycap set coming in as well.
I already bought the keyboard. I am actually looking at getting a white key cap set and was wondering if they would be compatible with the switches. Btw I'm in Garsfontein.
Must say, was pretty tempted to buy a white keycap set for it, but wasn't sure which route to go. Because the only PBT shine through I could find in SA was Razers and they are quite expensive xD and where do you get your keycap sets? Cause I only know of banggood, Takealot and Evetech that has PBT capsThat looks the part for sure! Guess I'm spraying my plate white as well. Your RGB looks so much better than on my board.

kbdfans.com is your friend. Shipping usually takes around 2 weeks.
As soon as I get the keycaps I will be able to tell you. Currently in freight.xD I've been on the website for 10 min and already know I should never return to it for my accounts safety
Btw for typing purposes, how much better does the PBT keycaps feel than the stock ABS on the Draconic?
Very nice! Definitely next on my list.
Unfortunately there are very few low profile keycaps available...
Unfortunately, nothing is available locally. You will have to do DIY if you want to make it happen without importing. But the lubing 'stations' are really over rated. You only need a bowl for each component, strip all the switches and put their components into the appropriate bowl. Reassemble the switches as you lube them. The lube stations look good on camera, but adds little to nothing in your workflow.
Thought as much, was mostly interested in a place where I can keep switches in (instead of just a bag but what does it really matter) will stick to the bowls and then the springs in a bag as usual. Just so tired and sore from opening switches with a tiny screwdriver and such, especially when sometimes the spring decides to go on an adventure.
I'll 3D print you 2 or 3 switch openers? You will just have to cover shipping.
Can't wait for the results!Our champions are in! Who do you think will be the winner?
I am going to lube 2 Gateron Reds with each lube and compare them daily over a span of a month. Let's see what I find. Wish I had the finances and time to do an entire board with each. I have high hopes for the oil on the far left.
