Redragon K552 Switch Swap - Outemu Blue to lubed Gateron Red

Swapping the factory Outemu blue (Clicky) switches in my Redragon K552 75% keyboard for Gateron Red (linear) switches, and lubing the new switches with Krytox 105.

When I first bought this keyboard I liked the loud clicky keys. As time went on I got fed up of them and wanted a nicer sounding, quieter keyboard. I was also keen on building a custom mechanical board but couldn't justify spending that sort of money. Instead of buying a completely new keyboard, I looked around online for components and settled for the best of both worlds. I bought the switches, lube (Krytox 105), new keycaps ("White Pudding" Style) and O rings and got to work swapping them out.
The Keycaps and O rings were already installed in this video as they arrived about a week before the switches and I was getting impatient to see how they looked. (The different spacebar at the end was a free gift thrown in with the switches, can't decide if I like it or not yet.)
