These are some great tips, man! IMO, I agree about what you said (that you don’t have to lube *every* part of a switch). Although, I do think it depends on the switch. For example, I found Durock POMS to be really smooth, and if I lubed the stem like normally would, they felt sluggish. So I didn’t lube the stems. But, for a scratchier switch (like MX Black Hyperglides) I lubed every part of it, as it was pretty scratchy stock. Anyways, great video and keep up the content!

1.Crack all switches open(Gateron nutcracker is fastest) 2.when opening keep the top and stem together standing upright. 3. Lube the base only(rails and back of leaf and front if linear) all of them then put in a container ff you are worried about dust. 4. Jar lube springs(less messy than a bag) 5. Assemble switches, grab spring with right angle tweezers, set on base, grab the stem/top combo and snap together No reason to lube the stems if the contact points on the base are lubed. Also avoid lubing the outside of the pole guide as you risk a sluggish spring return

Great video. I watched keybored videos on the glorious oanda switched and he did lube parts of the leaf to stop the ping. I tried that and I don’t hear the pingy sound

Thanks for the Tipps. I like your Videos a lot. Do you have an idea where i can get some good video editing keycaps? I‘d like to have some for davinci resolve

@KeebNews 2 жыл бұрын

omg I've thought about this, and would love some too! I'll look into it, but ping me or email me (pete@keebnews.com) if you find any. I thought it'd be cool to wire up a macropad specifically for video editing controls as well.

No need to pick up the stems. I suggest a lubing station with places to put the stems, and then lube them in place like the bottom housings. As a fellow fat-fingered human, it's a lot easier. Then you can reassemble them all in assembly-line fashion: film them, put all the springs on, put all the stems on, put all the top housings on.
