The 1st method, the spray lube one, seems quite practical and efficient. Probably, the best one for people wanting to improve their mechanichal keyboard experience without investing huge amounts of time (like me :) ).

@@yayo685 I don't agree that spray lubing is going to destroy the switch any time soon; dust ingress is extremely low unless you live in filthy conditions. The important step is properly cleaning afterwards, which wasn't done here. The main downside to spray lubing is obvious; it's not accurate, it's messy, and it's not as effective as 'proper' lubing.

What a coincidence, literally two hours ago I ordered some Super Lube 51010 to experiment with this method on an RK61 I have. (My main board I lubed the old-fashioned way when I built it.) I hope this method catches on and opens up the joys of lubed switches to folks for whom desoldering is too daunting. Real talk: I also hope it catches on because I love how worked up Redditors get whenever it's mentioned. There are too many gatekeepers in this hobby who are invested in keeping it as obscure and difficult as possible to stop casuals from getting in.

I used the push lube technique, but instead of plastic I used a very fine and thin brush. It’s definitely not as good as traditional lubing or spray lubing, but it made a world of difference for me modding for the first time on a budget board. I would go through the hassle of traditional lubing, but I don’t have the time as I used to when I was younger.

People have used this method but doesn’t account for uniform lubing. Different switches need different techniques for lubing. You would’ve lubed the sides of the switch which is honestly okay. But most people just prefer to have more control over everything. They lube the springs and sometimes even the stem legs. Try it out once!

i used the precision tipped superlube and put a drop on the left and right corners (making sure it covers up the rails). the results was pretty significant for me. upon opening the switch, the lube did not go onto the springs and will only be on the rails or collected at the bottom of the switch.

I was very interested in doing this and finally got around to doing it. The best method in my opinion is a mix of both of these. Don't use a spray lubricant but drip lube down the stem of the switch using a nozzle (= get a lube with a thin nozzle). Just push the switch down, apply a bit of lube in each corner. Rather than trying to push it down, let it flow slowly, take a bit of time with each switch. Cycle the switch repeatedly after and wipe off excess. You can actually test the switch during the process and will know if you've used enough. It's very controlled and the difference it makes is great. Doesn't just improve the feel and sound of the keys, but also helps with pinging switches (probably the main reason I wanted to do it). In theory, it could also be done for box switches. Transparent switches help a lot, you can see the lube going down. IMHO the best type of lube is a bike chain lubricant. They're designed to seep into chain links, so they'll do perfectly fine on switches, and many of them have very fine nozzles. They're also decently viscous, staying on surfaces even during constant friction. The one I used is RSP Black Oil. What to buy will depend on what's available where you live. Get something that's meant for all weather condition - these lubricants do not dry off and stay on surfaces longer. Avoid any wax lubricants such as Squirt Chain Wax. They're great for bike chains but they dry off and the solution is 40% wax and 60% water. You don't want water in your switches in case it's not obvious :)

Spray lubing can be fine. IF you use a suitable lube. Use a spray "dry Lube" you'll find for use on firearms. No oil sitting in switches and no mess left on the board. Sounds good and feels good. In cases where I'm not specifically addressing spring ping I use dry lube. 80% of the time taking apart a switch to conventionally lube doesn't give a benefit that outweighs it's time and labor investment.

Waiting for my new hot swap board to arrive but I got tired of my old Ducky One MX Blue, so I decided to lube it without desolder. I did the push down stem and brush the sides method. I used a 7:3 mix of Super Lube 21030 and 51004. Also lubed the stabilizers with a toothpick and brush with just 21030. It worked out great. Still has tactical feel and muted click and much more smooth and buttery feel. Less ping and clack. Don’t do this if you still enjoy the loud clicks of Blue switches. Lubing blues makes it into more of a jailhouse blue switch, and feels more like a slightly more tactical brown with a muted click. I compared it to my other Cherry MX Brown and Gateron Red keyboards. I started with just a few keys to test but liked it so much I did the entire keyboard. I also did the same to my Blue RK61 with the same method. After adding some foam padding in the case, it got rid of the hollow sound, and feels like a brand new keyboard. Interesting note, for some reason, in stock form (even when brand new), the Ducky One backlit feels worst than than my DAS Pro S with old MX Blue. Maybe there is something about newer Cherry switches being worst than older Cherry switches. The switches are slightly different with the Ducky One having LEDs. I kept the DAS stock in case I ever want to go back to stock Cherry MX Blues again.

What i wanted is to mute the blue switch so i don’t here the click sound i had a pic tool and the lube i pressed the switch stem down and filled the top and started clicking it over an over in order for the lube to spread in the switch and now they sound super thocky and deep like linear switches with some packing foam it sounds phenomenal!

It worked because the keyboard is now much more silent, I might have over lubed because this was my first attempt and the swicthes feel a bit heavier now. But it did work.. I think the keyboard will start to feel even better in a week or so once it breaks it but I'm pretty happy with it right now.. the sound is incredible like popcorn in the microwave oven. - Edit, I've also tape and foam modded this keyboard.. the sounds improvement doesnt just come from the lubing.

you might want to wear a mask when using spray lube with PTFE. There are rare diseases such as Polymer Fume Fever which gives you flu-like symptoms. It's caused by vapor, usually in people with a lot of exposure to fluoropolymers PTFE products, it's rare but you can reduce exposure to fumes by wearing a mask and doing this outdoors. keep things you ingest or smoke in a separate room from where you do the spraying.

So question, i spilled coke on my redragon kumara k552 anddddd my brother said okay just pour a loooot of alc in it to wash it out and then pour a lot of it in again after the coke washed out, then leave that in for a few days to dry, and so i did and they switches were still kinda, not sticky but like, hard to pop back up and 2 keys sooometimes dont respond, now i didddd put the foam at the bottom, can that be a problem orrr is there still some coke left in the switches? Even tho i washed it out like 3 times till now. And also if i do end up lubing them will that help them pop back up?

I'd like to buy the spray lube, but instead of spraying straight into the switch, spray into a container and use a size 00 brush to do the "push stem method" do you think this would work? As the 375ml can seems like a lot of lube

Do you NEED to use super lube or can you just use any old like wd 40 which is both metal and plastic safe
@oliviam001
@oliviam001 3 жыл бұрын
Technically, you could but it runs more risk of messing them up. WD-40 is more industrial and can make the housing all gooey and sticky. It also attracts dust, so both of those combined can cause build up and make the switches gum up

Any experience with Super Lube 51010? The one in the little tube with the pointed tip for application. I've seen mixed reviews, some saying that it eats away at plastic over time and others saying that it's fine. I have a hot-swappable keyboard so I would just take apart the switch and brush-lube like normal if I were to get it. It's just more readily available to purchase compared to all the other recommended lubricants. I have no experience with this stuff as I'm fairly new to the hobby so I'd like to hear your (and others) thoughts!

so I just spray lubed my akko rose reds on my GK61X (which is a hotswappable board) and I did it in a way where I held my switches and then sprayed the lube in to the keys. I know I should have used crytox but I am really lazy so I risked ruining my board. but it all worked out and now it sounds like I am in a Lego game building a giant car every time I type.

No, spray lube is not recommend for lubing mechanical keyboard ( especially keyboards that require desolder ). Because if you spray the lube inside the switch, the liquid can easily damage your keyboard PCB -> you can kiss your keyboard a sweet good bye.
