For a long time I followed this advice of never lubing the tactile bump and using a lighter lube. Then one day I tried lubing a tactile switch including the bump with 205 and it still had a bump just smoother and I loved it. So YMMV but don't necessarily follow everything everyone says online.

^^^^ This 100%, I have always lubed the bump on the stem of MX tactiles. As long as you do a very light layer of lube it only very minimally takes away from the tactility. Hell I even have a set of fully lubed Pewters that you can still feel the bump on TBH.

I am just going to add on to this, and say my way of lubing the linears will be definitely considered as "overlubed" by the mainstream keyboard channels, but I freaking loved it. I first followed and listened to some of the youtubers but later discovered that by adding some more lube it just feels much better for me personally. Now I will always "overlube" my linears.

I've been bag lubing my stems and springs and buyers have been loving the results. I use my homemade grease for the stems and oil for the springs. Bag lubing the stems technically overlubes them but once you put it in the housing it spreads out evenly, Crazy consistent, feels and sounds good, and I can lube 70 switches in under an hour.

What I have been doing for all tactile switches is the Gazzew method. Method works great on Glorious Pandas, Salmons and obviously Boba U4T. Two small drops on the sides on the lower housing and donut dip the spring. I also did this method on the Linear Bobas and still got great results.

Eh, this is a very rough overview of lubing in general. Like many things in the hobby, this is preference. I personally lube bottom AND top housing, because it dampens the bottom and top out sound. I also decide on a per switch basis if I want lube legs and leaf on tactiles. It"s good for some switches and bad for others.

Built my first keyboard a month ago or so and I started out using the tray, quickly threw it aside and changed my way of lubing. I had tealios, kdb red films kryox 205g0 and I lubed top, stem and bottom + the oil on springs. took me close to 2.5hrs for 90 switches and everyone turned out identical. After the pointless process of sorting on a tray, i just disasembled the last 60 swiches sorted into 3 piles and threw springs in a bag with oil. lubed all bottoms and tops, then I placed springs in 10-20 housings lubed one stem then assembled with film. so my assembly process was lube stem, place film, assemble the switch, refill housings with springs, lube stem, place film, assemble the switch. Lubed super light on all surfaces on all parts, lubed more then I had to so that I could switch out swiches that didnt lock properly or had more wobble then others. decided to do 1 switch at a time with 1 stem lubed at a time in order to not make a mess and to ensure the stems got equal coverage/didn't wipe off on the suface contacting something if put on a table/plastic bag after lubing aswell as getting some change, not doing the same task 60+ times in a row. So I would suggest trying it this way and see if you can get good consistency and a faster time. Was a bitch with the films, bouncing off when trying to move them so might try the foam ones next time.

tbh there is no secret formula for lubing your switches fast. it really is just time consuming going through lubing 180+ components (1 switch = 1bottom housing, 1 stem, 1 spring). You can't be careless either, since as stated in the video "When it comes to lubing, less is more". It doesn't mean to lube less, it means to take your time lubing the right amount. The best way (at least for me) to cope with lubing is listening to a podcast or watch streamers.

This is very similar to the way I lube my switches. I use KBDFans films, they seem to be a nice balanced film that doesn't do anything other than draw out whatever sounds the switch is already good at making. Controversial: I use a TINY bit of 3204 on the legs of my Holy Trash Pandas, enough to take the scratch out of the switch; hardly kills any of the tactility IMO and just feels better all-around.
@nozdoz4166
3 жыл бұрын
Kinda wanna chip in here, if you want to lose as little tactility as possible, do not lube the legs, however I personally like to MOST of the time because if you do a thin enough layer with the right viscosity of lube you can lose very little or basically none of the tactility when in actual use, I also find that lubing the legs allow me to be more consistent between switches since if you try to avoid them, you will inevitably have inconsistencies within the tactile bump since some switches will get lube on the legs(It's gonna happen even if you are being careful, trust me). It's all a matter of preference tho, I personally am willing to sacrifice a tad of tactility for a smoother travel and cleaner sound

The only time you shouldn't lube the stem legs is for brown type tactile stems. The light tactile stems will feel linear if you lube the legs, especially if you are using a housing without a tactile leaf. If you are lubing any Halo type stem, which is what most people buy these days, it will not turn your switch into a linear switch. Leaf ping is a common issue with tactile switches, which requires lubing of the contact and/or stem legs to reduce ping.
