Welcome 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?
