Oof. That's very alarming.

Haven't been working on the UI due to the keyboard problems. Accidentally used the wrong lubricant after cleaning out the mineral oil I used temporarily and it's been a week long adventure in cleaning that mistake up. This cheap wireless keyboard I'm using in the meantime works well enough for basic use but it really sucks for gaming or any real typing. Specifically I accidentally used a strong dielectric grease that was sold in the same container as the actual lubricant I intended to use, dielectric means it resist electrical current so every contact that got any of that on it, registers as key pressed all the time (Cherry MX switches use inverse logic).
