    Films can tighten up the fitment between top and bottom switch housings. It decreases some "wobble" and changes the sound profile.

    There's two reasons I urge people to lube their switches. Done properly, switches will feel and sound better done by hand. Plenty of people find factory-lubed switches "good enough" but I feel like if you're going to dip your toes into a hobby, you might as well jump all the way in and see what you learn.

    The same goes for soldering your switches instead of buying hot-swap pcb's. Buy a switch sampler and really take the time to find what you prefer. Try films, frankenswitches, spring swaps, etc. Then when you build a board, have a concept in mind and execute it well.
