Lube Every Type of Mechanical Keyboard Switch! Tactile, Linear, Silent, Box!
Рет қаралды 331,797
3 жыл бұрынWelcome back to Keybored! Comprehensive tutorial for you to teach how to lube mechanical keyboard switches! In this tutorial, I want to cover not just 1 type of switch, but most of them. Tactile, Linear, Silent and even the Box. There has been a lot of requests to make a detailed lubing tutorial, and I hope this helps!
Jumping into the Mechanical Keyboard hobby, I realized that there were so many different types of switches at your arsenal. This was amazing because I could really custom tailor what I want out of my mechanical keyboard, from sound to feel to function. What I also discovered pretty quickly was that in order to get the most out of these switches, they have to be lubed and filmed. I don't think there is anyone in the community that says... "I would love to spend my evening lubing 200 switches!"
As tedious this task may be, I feel it's worth it at the end of the day. We're in this hobby trying to get the most optimal typing experience right?

@lil_liamalbert Жыл бұрын
Be advised that not every switch needs to be filmed. For instance, my favorite switch, the KTT Kang White V3, does not require any film, as the switch housing is already very tight and allows for the stem to not move around as much. In fact, filming the switch turned out to completely destroy each of the switches in my keyboard due to it already being so tight, which caused me to have to buy another set and lube them (for hours...) However, some switches like the Banana Splits should be filmed as the housing is not very tight stock and should be modified for the best sound and feel.

@Keybored 3 жыл бұрын
Hi Florian! I typically don't lube the legs of tactile switches, but the glorious pandas I do. Reason is that the first batches I received had some pretty noticeable pinging, that I could not get rid of with standard lubing of the housing/stem/springs. Interestingly enough, krytox 205 on the legs or the leaf itself, really helped to get rid if the ping. If you want maximum tactility, don't lube the leg, but if you're sensitive to noise, then I would lube the leg or leaf with 205 :)

Hi Sean! Depends on the switch. Some switches like box are pretty notorious for losing lube pretty fast due to an opening... But thicker lube sticks on better. Originally NK cream was also problematic for lube retention. However for most switches, they will hold lube pretty well and you won't have to worry for quite some time. I recently pulled cherry ergo clears from an 8 year old keyboard and it was still decent.

I read somewhere on reddit that you should break in switches before lubing them. Does this apply to all switches? And does this apply to tactile switches? The only really talked about it towards linear switches

Hi Hello, World! It does apply to certain switches. One prime example is the NK Cream, where the POM on POM action requires a bit of wear down before you apply lube to it. Some also do this to MX blacks as well. However, most others actually can be lubed right away and still yields great results.

Hay, great video quality. Umm, I have a question though. What does adding film to a linear key do?

It almost acts like a spaceboard stablizer. Keeps it from wobbling.

Thank you, this is is a very helpful video. For silent Durocks, which have a different silencing mechanism, will the lubrication method still be the same? I certainly don't want squelchy switches.

I don't have first hand experience with the silent durocks, but from experience with other silent switches, the trick is always with the soft bits. Too much lube here makes the thing squelchy. If possible, avoid, otherwise, go very light on these soft bits.

Tweezers are unnecessary for anyone wanting to bag lube, btw. Use a disposable glove or your (clean) fingers for efficiency.

Hey I'm sort of new to this, would you use bag lubing with springs for tactile switches also or is it better to lube individually?
@Keybored 3 жыл бұрын
Yup! I use bag lubing with switches since it's just so much more convenient!
