I bought the Womier RD75 Pro a couple of months ago, and although It's been great as a first "real" mechanical keyboard for me, the switches are very slightly scratchy, and even though I almost never notice it, I would like a slightly more premium typing experience. I'm trying not to go over 50 dollars for a set of switches for it, any recommendations?

And while I'm at it, have any of you bought this keyboard as well?

Grease?

Molykote EM-50L

Krytox GPL 205 Grade 0

Tribosys 3204

I use molykote.

I don't have the patience to do that, and after looking for a bit it seems like gateron's pro v3s are cheap enough and high quality, was thinking of going for the creamy yellows too.

I agree, breaking in the switches and then greasing them is probably the best bet. Waxboiling the switches as a last resort too.
