You’ll need an airtight plastic bag to do it. First, open the bag and take a bit of your lube and spread it around the bag. Next, pour all the springs in there and make sure the bag is closed properly and start shaking it until your springs are completely covered. Finally open the bag up and carefully take out the springs. Sometimes the springs can get tangled with each other so you might have to separate them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6250a1a6cb62c144a72386a1/2650c1ce-a591-4753-b075-0dc98ac4dca9/Screen+Shot+2022-05-10+at+6.30.42+PM.png Tutorials - How to lube Mechanical Keyboard Switches and Stabilizers - Lubing the Bottom Housing For the bottom housing all you have to do is brush a very little amount of lube where the stem rails rub on the sides. Switches have a gold plate dubbed a leaf that lies near the bottom housing. The place you should be lubing is on either side of that leaf. Don’t put any lube on the leaf! Make sure you don't see any white residue! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6250a1a6cb62c144a72386a1/ea7e58dd-8d70-45dc-9838-2be20467d841/Screen+Shot+2022-05-10+at+6.40.32+PM.png Tutorials - How to lube Mechanical Keyboard Switches and Stabilizers - Lubing Stabilizer’s Wires Take your paintbrush and apply a small amount of lube on the inside surface of the housing, making sure you don’t see any white residue. Lubing Stabilizer’s Housings: For the wires, all that needs to be done is to dip both ends of the wire in the lube; make sure not to use too much! You shouldn’t be able to see any white residue. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6250a1a6cb62c144a72386a1/834a66e3-9eb2-444c-afea-275aa4e624c3/removingswitchesglorious.jpg Tutorials - How to lube Mechanical Keyboard Switches and Stabilizers - What does keyboard Lubing mean? Keyboard enthusiasts love to tinker with their parts and try to better them any way they can; this is how lubing switches and stabilizers was discovered. Lubing is when a lubricant is applied to an object in order to either loosen it up or make it move smoother. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6250a1a6cb62c144a72386a1/6734f3e3-67bd-4562-8114-b082c75e4e4b/www.ubuy.co.jpg Tutorials - How to lube Mechanical Keyboard Switches and Stabilizers - MATERIALS Lube: So the preferred and most tried and tested lubricant used in the keyboard community is the Krytox 205g0 however it could be difficult to get your hands on it, so I recommend some other lubricants such as Dielectric grease, Glorious-lube, and Tribosys 3203. Brush: Due to the switches and stabilizer's miniature nature, you will need a small paintbrush to lube your parts. A size 0 or 00 would get the job done. Switch opener: You’d need a switch opener to open the switches and be able to lube them from the inside. Most people are able to 3d print their own switch openers however you could easily find some on Amazon or other online stores. https://ctrlbuild.org/resources/which-switch-is-right-for-you monthly 0.5 2022-11-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6250a1a6cb62c144a72386a1/009f97b5-9605-489e-bb8c-c48af8162c46/Screen+Shot+2022-05-24+at+4.44.03+PM.png Tutorials - Which Switch is right for You? - Linear Switches Linear switches are designed for a smoother typing experience. They are also well known for being silent and not making too much noise. Linear switches are also really light switches and are easy to click. The best way to describe the force is that it feels like your fingers are gliding on the keys. These switches also cater to video game players more so than office keyboard users. This is because the linears have a really fast response time, and because typing sounds could distract the players while playing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6250a1a6cb62c144a72386a1/861f2900-f32b-4c1b-9b35-77cf023700e9/Screen+Shot+2022-05-24+at+4.46.10+PM.png Tutorials - Which Switch is right for You? - Tactile Switches These switcheswere made to provide tactile feedback. These switches are great for beginners because you can know whether or not the key press was registered based on whether or not you felt the bump upon clicking the key. Tactile switches are great for people with big hands because they tend to misclick keys at times, because these switches require more force to register than linear ones. Although these switches are pretty versatile when it https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6250a1a6cb62c144a72386a1/4d947d58-81d5-4415-aab6-7a4b92b82bbd/Screen+Shot+2022-05-24+at+4.48.15+PM.png Tutorials - Which Switch is right for You? - Clicky switches Clicky switches work the exact same way as tactile ones, except they make a loud, distinct “click” noise upon activation. People who enjoy typing sounds and want a distinct keypress indication will enjoy this switch. https://ctrlbuild.org/resources/different-keyboard-mods monthly 0.5 2022-05-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6250a1a6cb62c144a72386a1/ff36d4a7-027a-421e-b4c9-2396ff189050/unsplash-image-wbvspKg02Ao.jpg Tutorials - Different Keyboard Modifications - P.s.
