I just got into the whole mechanical keyboard thing and lubing switches. I had one switch which had a noisy spring ping so I did it exactly the way you showed it in this video and gone is the annoying spring ping. Now I am going to do the other switches as well. Thank you Betty from @switch and click!

This video helped me a lot. I don't have the special tool for opening so I easily opened them with a flathead screwdriver. I don't have lube so I used dielectric grease. I followed the steps in the video and the result is remarkable. Thanks.

Seriously man this comment physically pained me to read. It will make a difference but dielectric grease is too think and doing it with a screwdriver takes forever. I cannot recommend enough getting like 5 grams krytox 205g0 and a switch opener for like 20 bucks combined. It will be so much better on every single level. Or just by prelubed switches like matcha lattes, vertex v1, or gateron pure berries or a ton of others. But for the love of god no dielectric grease please

@@worstie9738 Oh, that is unfortunate. I am guessing that the excess lube got to the contact points of switches and acted like an insulator and stopping conductivity, so the signal is not getting through. U will need a thorough cleanout of the pcb to remove all the residue around the contact points and surrounding areas. Not a fun job!

Dipping is a terrible idea. Try it guys and you will see. If you want thocky sound, just manually lube the housing base (side of the spring post) and put all the springs in a plastic bag and mixed the lube in there and shake. Then buy a cerakey key caps + tape x3 your board. Guaranteed thocky 100%. Donut dipping gives you a terrible sound.
