i'd advise people to try only lubing the spring and the stablisers for early-bump tactile switches like this one. i fully lubed my keychron low profile optical mints and it felt awful. i ended up washing everything away and re-applied lube on just the springs and stablisers. it now sounds great and retains 100% of the factory tactility which is what i bought them for.

For bag lubing springs I use Paraffin Oil (White Mineral Oil [8042-47-5]). It works great for me and the price compared to Krytox 105 is more than worlds apart. In Sweden I bought 1L (more than I will probably ever use) for around $9, krytox 105 seems to be ~$10 for ~5ml so somewhere around 200 times the price, AND I can buy this oil pretty much anywhere.

@@TheBrandoGR @Jack P This literally doesn't make any sense. The springs themselves do not influence the sound of the switch as a whole, and are not supposed to make any sound at all. If they ARE making a sound, it's an annoying pinging noise, which is why you lube them (either manually with 205g0 or bag lube with GPL 105). The only reason to change the springs is to change the actuation force of the switch. How do some springs sound "better" to you than others? Lmao

@TheBrandoGR 3 жыл бұрын

@@massgrave8x Of course spring ping is due to a lack of lube. but gold plated springs often have a smoother surface than steel springs and thus requiring less. another likely suspect is just manufacturing processes. Sprit likely has a better manufacturing process than the Drop springs and most other steel springs I've used in the past just due to the increase in price. When I say gold plated springs sound better, I mean it's easier to get rid of that ping. Don't say things don't make sense when there are a number of reasons why they might.

@massgrave8x 3 жыл бұрын

@@TheBrandoGR I suppose that can be true but I don't understand why someone wouldn't lube the spring if they're already lubing the rest of the switch, which would negate any differences between the materials the springs are made from, but oh well.

Band-Aid modding is where you put soft, fabric Band-Aids cut to fit and stuck on the PCB and placed between the stabilizer stem and the PCB usually accompanied with lube for a softer bottom-out when the stabilizer stems hits the PCB. What you did is more akin to aiding in reducing stab housing tolerance, but it is not Band-Aid modding.
