Hello, I recently assembled my first custom keyboard. The spacebar and backspace keys are sticking when pressed. I added foam to reduce the sound and performed a tape modification by placing tape on the PCB back. I used Glorious Panda switches and the TM680 case. After checking, I found that the stabs might have been over-lubed, though I didn't apply any myself—I suspect they were factory lubricated. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

There isn't much to observe except that you should remove the keys and inspect them. It seems something is preventing the stabilizers and switches from moving as they should. This issue is usually clear once you examine it closely. It might be due to foam being in the wrong places or in excess, improper installation of stabilizers.
