Okay, so here’s the question: should I get a M1 or a DM?

For the M1, is it unresponsive? Also, for flowable silicon, you can use any silicon right? Like the one for showers and stuff.

For a M1, color does not matter, for a DM, red or black.

Can you make a M1 unresponsive? And you can use any silicon right?

Yes - Break in the bearing

No, it comes with silicone, but after that, you can use flowable silicone, but you can’t just use ANY flowable silicone.
