A dustcloth is underneath the keyboard to dampen desk reverberation.
I bought the keyboard and keycaps on Drop.
Timestamps:
0:00 - Close-up on keyboard and SA keycaps
0:42 - Stock switches with WinMix SA Chalk (PBT)

5:27 - Completely stock
Enjoy!
I put a thin dustcloth underneath to help with the desk reverberation, with a Rode NT1A microphone hovering about 10-13 inches above the keyboard.

I start with the stock (not lubed) numpad, modifier, and function keys, and then move straight to the typing test. I have lubed the 60% portion of keyboard for comparison.
It is most likely the compression on the audio, but typing with the lubed sliders is much quieter and pleasant to type on. Not as loud or scratchy as it originally was (at least when I first found the keyboard about a month ago).
Audio recorded with a Rode NT1A about 10-13 inches above the keyboard.
Audio has been compressed. Rolled off EQ below 50 Hz.
MX Cherry Browns are lubed with EK MechLube 2.
Stabilizers have been clipped and lubed with grease I found at work (will update when I find out the brand).
I put in an 1/8" neoprene foam lining inside and on top of the bottom plastic shell.

This is a before and after comparison of a completely stock Compaq MX 11800 with Cherry MX Browns.

Original title of the video: Name That Tune (MAME That Chune) - Legacy Music Hour
Dedicating this to three years of The Legacy Music Hour Podcast. A little bit of timing issues towards the end of the song. I hope you don't mind! Thanks for watching.
i recorded with a condenser mic & mixer.
i messed up a couple of times, with rhythm and that fast-fingerpick triplet.
it's not the correct way to play it, but i tried to make it close to the original.
usually when i think a take isn't good (which personally this barely passes for me) i cut it off real short, and i apologize. i really wanted that last chord to ring. i love how you can make things so complete and final with just one chord. anyway, enjoy.
