Hey Squashy, I appreciate you exploring other methods of lubing your keyboard but I think this video could be really dangerous. I watched the whole video just to be sure of your conclusion, I know you show that it does have some issues, but I feel you should really stress that people should not do this. The key-registry problem you had is not unique to "overlubing" and can happen with the smallest of sprays, completely randomly. It happens due to lube getting on the switch leaf and preventing proper contact. I've spray lubed many boards, and found it is incredibly hit or miss and should not done on someone's only keyboard. With spray lubing it's entirely possible to do everything "right" and still completely ruin a keyboard (the presses not registering does not magically fix with time). As creators that get boards for free, it's really low consequence for us to spray lube. I think it's good for people to explore other methods, but as a creator we have to be more careful to not lead people to ruin their boards thinking it is do-able. Also, the fumes for spray lube are very toxic and people should be wearing a mask and eye protection when doing this to not harm themselves. I'm not saying this as an eliteist, but as someone concerned for people just getting into the hobby stoked to have a good sounding board.
@@kitkat6703 And to be entirely honest, I was on that thread defending spray lubing because the reasons they were providing were superstitious and pretty gatekeepy. But after having significantly more experience with it now, I now agree people should not do it. (Albeit for different reasons than that thread)
Thank you for your testimony Hipyo. That comment was well written and made me dig for the original geekhack thread. And convinced me not to attempt that on my board because of the randomness/long term possible trouble. Thank you again for sharing. Edit: Also discovered your channel and subscribed, looks like you have superb content to share.
@@JonathanGallodajay Thank you for coming to my ted talk and thanks for the sub I appreciate it! I really just don't want to see people ruin their boards because RUclipsrs have done it.
i think the best option is to get hot swappable switches and just individually spray lube them by taking them out so you dont damage the PCB and so they dry faster. DONT SPRAY LUBE OPTICAL SWITCHES ON THE BOARD GUYS IT WILL DAMAGE THE OPTICAL SENSORS
So you're telling me that I can take the switches off, and spray lube them. It will be faster than going by hand, and will remove the risks of spraying on the PCB.
Someone didn't listen to Wildcat... You have to shake the Super Lube can for a very long time and keep shaking in between spraying the switches. That part is super important
Using spray lube like this has a good chance of giving you intermittent input problems. I highly recommend not spray lubing your keyboard if you care about it.
@@kyrian7600 i literally just spray lubed a full sized keeb and it turned out great. You keeb nerds are soooo butthurt about the fact that spray lubing is 120 times more effective than your stupid “KrYtOx 205g0” shit method 😂😂
@@gangigooga7710 it said good chance, not fucking 100% gonna break your keyboard. Also lubing traditionally has more consistency than spray lubing even though it takes longer. You probably spray lubed your moms membrane keyboard and no shit it turned out well, the lube isn’t touching the contact points

When I first got into mech keyboards, I lubed my Gateron browns. I later realized how inconsistent it is and how it kind of dries up over time. I then later opened up each key to dry then lube it with Krytox and this time I didn't lube the legs and got my tactility back. I'd only recommend spray lube on cheap linear switches, or blues so they won't be as loud
is it just me or somebody else here loves the way he speaks english? I mean, it's such a beautiful pronunciation. Anyway you've done a really great job. Cool video. I smiled all the time. It was fun and usefull. Thank you!
You can use spray lube in a better way. If you want to be extra safe, you can take the mechanical switches out of the PCB/Keyboard, and spray the switch by itself.
@@martinalarconcarbajal417 M’y first built was Gateron yellow soldered. So I try spray lube once the keyboard were soldered, but it is messy and feels inconsistent between switches…
Perfect! I need to lube my switches, but they are soldered. Edit: holy crap I watched the whole video and the result of the spray lube is actually insane, all I need to do is add less lube.
To those that want to spray lube, don't. The reason why :3ildcat's keyboards doesn't break is because the spray lube he has in korea is actually a knock-off version which does not harm your keyboard as much compared to the real ones as the formula in the spray lubes are different so if you would like to lube your board, don't spray lube it will cause more damage than its worth
Or maybe it's because he/she lubricates the switches outside the pcb. It is also done with optical switches, which are not based on the contact of two metal parts.
The spray lubed sounds the best with the vanilla unlubed. The painfully lubed sound the "less best". If I had to chose based on sound, I take the spray lubed.
I am a professional dumbass so i spray lubed my 2 really cheap keyboards. They both have outemu red switches. I used diferrent lube based on silicon because i didn't want to wait 2-4 weeks for this specific spray lube to arrive from amazon and i was really suprised it's actually working pretty damn good. Im using them since 1 week and had no issues at all. Also i read somewhere that you need to shake the can at least for 1 minute to lower the chance of destroying your keyboard but i don't know if i was just lucky that my 2 keyboards are working or because i used different spray lube but im happy with my results lul. Also i sprayed in the top left corner of the switch so away from the contacts.
Why not before spray on a glass and then use a dropper for throwing 4 or 5 drops inside the switch ? Using this method you have a better control the amount of lubber oil you put inside
Dude, I used a product called Corrosion X and it turned my tactile switches into linears but with more actuation force 😂 pretty stoked with the results
Deadass thought that manually living each and every one of the switches was part of the fun and is part of why I was so interested in the hobby because it’s like taking apart a pen and putting it back together but only there’s a benefit to it.
I had to spray lube my entire Keyboard once, because i poured Icetea over it and the keys were sticky after that. Improved the sound of the keyboard and everything worked, 10/10 would do it again
Typing on a spray lubed keyboard here and I already ordered a new one. It DOES work and it sounds even better imo, but on the way I approximately killed like 5-6keys. My A, O, V, and Q are definitely shit, I have to press them multiple times or really hard. keep in mind I did that for the very first time and I "only" jacked arund 5-6 keys, if you do it carefully spray lubing is 100% an option. DONT OVER DO IT, one small spray is enough
I LAUGHED HARD when you started talking about the subscribe and "will not continue watching this video if I keep this going" and you got my sub. And yeah, I've watched many of your vuids without subscribing
Dielectric grease worked for me. Sort of a pain to apply some on the sides of the switch housing. Once you get a little bit where the switch rubs against the housing... hit the switch a few times and it's smooth. I think the spray lube is tooooo messy lol.
Tipp for spray lubing: Take the switches out and spray from the bak into the housing. That way you wont get the risk of destroying youre plate and make it even less messy. Thank me later :D
great content for people who started to venture into custom keyboard world and awesome outro song btw heee ;D can i know the name of the outro pleaseeee
Would taking off the switches first (also keys, obviously) then spraying them with the spray lube be the best of both worlds? I think this makes the most sense for hot swappable keyboards. I'm also interested in longevity: if you need to re-lubricate the sprayed switches more often than if you used Krytox.
