Default Shiver 45 less high speed damping?

I have all my clickers currently at roughly 3/4 open. Could I move to a 5w oil to reduce high speed compression, then close the clickers up to retain the same low speed feel?

Front end just feels a little harsh on hard edges.

Thanks!

Square edges at speed?

You could try a lighter oil which may achieve what you're looking for, as long as you're aware it will also act on the rebound circuit in the same way which may/may not be of benefit.
