Razer Huntsman Mini Mods I Spray Lubing and Typing Sounds

[@orelle8547]

to anyone watching, if you're going to do this, please please please don't make the same mistake as me, DO NOT use regular wd40, it must be the dr variant, when I used the regular, it messed my a few of my keys, 6 would someone either spam or not respond, and 3 would respond at all, I assume this is because the lube interfered and damaged the optical sensor, but I still don't know what happened.

[@ThinhTran21]

I’m sorry that happened to your keyboard 😢 but thank you for letting others know. There’s always some inherent risks when taking apart and modding keyboards 😪

Aside from this video being the most well documented modification, it's also the easily the best implementation, because your comparison of before and after are quite astounding! Most other content creators appear to gently type when performing the "after" presentation, but bash during the "before" presentation, almost as if they're attempting the skew their results to show "Wow?!?! What a difference!". Yet, more times than not, it appears they something didn't go as well as they had hoped. Yet, your video truly displays exactly how amazing the difference can be when performed correctly! So, cheers!

I used the WD-40 Dry PTFE lube on these switches but I noticed that now sometimes after not pressed for a while, the keys sorta stick on the first press, its very odd, they switches do feel like they were factory dry lubed though and I'm not sure this dry spray was good for them, I kind of feel like it was a mistake. Has anyone else tried this out?

That's odd indeed, but I haven't had that experience with my Huntsman Mini nor my Huntsman TE :-(

@@ThinhTran21 I think I may have over sprayed hardcore, this is my first time ever modding a keyboard. Now after a few days it seems to be getting, almost as if they switches didnt dry out entirely despite that I let them sit for hours and used the Dry PTFE spray. They still seem to be a little sticky on some first presses but improving. It's odd because once presses they don't feel sticky anymore either not until left alone for a while again. I've never experienced something like this before.

Don’t be too rough with the pcb and wires and don’t pack the inside too tight with too much foam.

They're clipped onto the PCB/plate by their housing. you just have to open up the keyboard and squeeze the tiny tabs and press down on them while pulling on the backside to pop them out, then you could use a paintbrush to paint the stabs with dielectric grease, or pop the wires out and coat the ends in dielectric grease.

I assume this process is about the same on the huntsman tenkeyless?

Check the comment that I pinned! I think as long as you use the right spray lube and remove the switches from the board before spraying then you'll be okay. Remember to let the switches dry before putting them back in too. The optical sensor and light is on the actual PCB itself so it shouldn't cause any errors if the switches are removed before spraying.

Hey are there any alternatives for using the dielectric grease on the stabilizers? Can I use the dry lube instead maybe?

[@ThinhTran21]

Yea. However, it's the space between the moving parts scraping against each other that causes the rattling with the stabilizers and the dielectric grease will fill those gaps and cushion the parts from scaping each other. I suppose that dry lube will work also, but to a lesser degree because it's not as thick/viscous.

@@jeremyang8056I'm not sure since there is an opening at the bottom of the gateron optical switches that could leak into the case/pcb :-( I'm sorry. I have no experience with that, but maybe you can do some more research on that.

Styrofoam is kinda stiff and light. If you want that kind of sound ok. But for damping you want something soft and heavy not stiff and light.
