my LSHIFT key seems to be sticking a little before the keypress reset, not sure if it is over lubed from factory. If it is, is the fix just simply unscrewing the stabilizers and then removing some of the lube?

Uhh I believe this was bought like a month ago and I just received it as a gift
maybe even less than a month ago
I took off the keycaps for all the keys that have stabilizers and the LSHIFT seems to have a chunk of lube on both sides of the stabilizer

But if it is the stabilizer pads, would removing them make the the keypress sound different?

Yes, most likely just overlubed stab

Sorry got another question. When I take the stabilizers out do I have to disassemble the stabilizer completely?
