In case you were curious lubes are like car engine oils in that the number is tells you about how viscous it is as a fluid and the greater the number the more viscous so less fluid it is. This is sometimes referred to as a fluids “weight” which is why car engine oils have 2 numbers like 0w20. 0 is the viscosity at a cold engine temperature, 20 is the viscosity at a running engine temperature and the W means weight. In the case of switch lubes only the last digit matters so krytox 20(3) is the same as trybosis 320(3).
I think it's important to mention since it's rarely addressed in lubing vids.. Lubing the top housing and bottom side of the stem rails will dampen the sound of bottom out and the return. Personally, these are the most important sound factor for me. I like a butter smooth feel so I tend to go super light coats on all the components. For tactiles, I don't lube the stem but rather both the housings to prevent spillover on the legs and leaves. Gazzew suggests this on most of his switches along with donut dippong the springs. Honestly, whatever you do, try to be as consistent as possible. This is prob the most important for getting all the switches to sound the same.
So glad you made this cause I have similar preferences in keyboards and switches to you besides me preferring full sizes because of some of my engineering work
I've switched to lubing the stem and leaf only now. I just do a slightly thicker coat on the entire exterior of the stem and a couple swipes where the stem legs contact the leaf. I've found this almost imperceivable to full lubing housings while taking muuuuch less time. Thanks for the content King
Lol. I put like 4 times the lube on the linears hehe. I just love how creamy the switches sound then. I love when my switches are almost overlubed, right on the edge.
By the way I was wondering, if we avoid the leg and the leaf as this tutorial indicates, would the 205g0 be even better for tactile switches? Because theoretically you are not loosing any tactility, but at the same time you are getting maximum smoothness. But I am a noob, so just my guess and hope to hear everyone's opinion. Thanks.
I used TriboSys 3203 for tactiles. It's really smooth and it doesn't affect tactility but it's harder to find and kind of expensive. Edit: I forgot to mention, 205g0 is harder to use cause it gets everywhere but as long as you don't overlube, you're good good.
@@kylemorales9343 yeah I end up buying both. I like the tribosys since it's easier to work with. With the 205 I feel like it's easy to over-lube. Thanks for your inputs.
watching this while i lube feels like a north korean propaganda type experiment. You drilling how to lube in my brain while I lube switches. I already know how to lube why am I doing this to myself
Am I missing something? He said he doesn’t like to lube the leaf on tactile switches, which he didn’t do. He did lube the leaf in a linear switch in the first part.
How do you lube uhmwpe stem swapped switches? The 415keys site page for the stems says to just lube as normal, but other videos I’ve seen say that lubing the stem makes the switch scratchier/sticky.
Would the tactile also apply to switches like glorious pandas? I heard they have a leaf pign how would one deal with that? I also have glorious lube with me would that suffice ?
so i saw in a vid of yours that gacha + keyboards ruins ones financial life.. i've spent ~1k usd on a gacha this year, and i recently fell into the mechanical keyboard rabbit hole which i NEVER thought would be the slightest of interesting... so basically what im saying, or asking rather, is that the money im about to spend on keyboards is gonna be money im NOT spending on gachas right? Right? please god tell me im right
I can lube my switches with WD-40 right I heard it makes the switch feel so lubed and nice and lubed and them the spring is so lubed and stem just has like a nice oily coat of lube so WD-40 is the best lube right
There is no way you posted your last video without an apology. I am scarred.
I regret nothing

"the big bad switch lubing guide out of focus" XD i appreciate you making this video and understand how hard it is with the camera
It really be pain
better cam and better lenses ;)
yeah thats how i see the world everyday cant complain
the incredibly scuffed quality of your videos gives them a certain charm that i can't explain
I'm just starting out and I cannot stress enough just how much this video has been helpful. Thanks Shoobs!

The Lube Jar
Big Bad Clicky Comparison when?
Perhaps.... eventually..... maybe
🤔
😳
Instructions unclear... lube has coated my hands and the switches are wetter than Niagara Falls ; u ;
slip and slide
I’m into this. I just hope to go it’s not a leg less animal that became a slip n slide. More like a warm hole i can sleep in for the nice
GREAT VIDEO
THANK YOU JOHNNY
I feel your pain with the focus man... Huge pain dealing with small details like this. But great job regardless!
Bruh you post this after I lubed all my switches today. FeelsBadMan
Its okay, the lubing never stops
@@ShoobsTube truuuuu
Oooo the jar thing is really helpful I used bags and it would stick together
I once lubed a switch with some lube that came with my treadmill.... came out better than I expected
Still scarred from your last vid...
My ears are still ringing
@@ShoobsTube every time I close my eyes I hear the laughing
1:52 nice
Bruh this video is so perfectly timed. I just started lubing my boba u4ts
Good timing I'm gonna lube my glorious pandas
Thanks for the guide, Shoobs!
I've seen too many switch lube guide at this point. But the Shoobs perspective was missing from my life
shoobs father
hello son
Imagine not flipping spacebar, couldnt be us
superior taste
trash taste, looks awful and doesn't feel/sound that good
just use a split spacebar
:trollface rising:
good job shoobs
Stayed up till midnight for...this lmfao, Shoobs this is your doing. ; (
I'm sorry for all these degen hour uploads LOL
Another Shoobs masterpiece
Amazing video big bad shoob
Op its 12 in the night but guess im going to watch another video on keyboards thanks shoob
Thank you Kiwbi
The thing I struggle most with lubing is consistency
I got some lube on the way for my first ever board. Perfect timing.
Shoob u don't need upload so late, it ok to sleep n upload next day thanks dad love yoy
You should review zykos the heisnburg switch. Also thanks for the video
Lol. I put like 4 times the lube on the linears hehe. I just love how creamy the switches sound then. I love when my switches are almost overlubed, right on the edge.
NUMBER 1 VICTORY ROYAL YEA FORTNITE WE BOUT TO GET DOWN "GET DOWN" #1 ON THE BOARD RIGHT NOW JUST WHIPED OUT TOMATO TOWN
degen hours lets go
Always
AYEE LETS GO SHOOBS I HAVE THE EXACT SAME SWITCH OPENER LETS GOOOO
WOW SUCH A GOOD GUIDE :3
Guide helped me alot! Thanks Shooby boi!
The degen upload schedule continues I see
I can't stop
shoobs in da hole
peko time
My man shoobs delivering the good stuff Walter White style 😹
my man shoobs forgot the clicky lubing guide
Rin Tohsaka thighs are very thicc
i feel fresh
your channel is popping off man, can we get some scuffed aliexpress build videos and budget challenges? i think itd be great to watch
imagine flipping your spacebar
I'll flip your KC

its all down to preference, 205g0 is thicker but doesnt necessarily make the switch 'smoother'

oh shit, its the MetaLube
Damn just finished 70 box royals last night
thanks for making keyboard videos that aren't so serious
Sheeeeeesh Shooby, every time you thank for your subs you're already 1k ahead lol
so god
Nice
The degen overlord has blessed us once again
In the thumb nail it looks like someone cream pied the switch lmfao
Comfiest vibes
hey wanna ask whats the difference between bag lube spring and lube top and bottom spring with 205g0, or should i do both to my springs?
Damn krytox sounds so good
Why do you lube the leaf? I’ve heard most dont
It gets rid of most leaf ping noise
Leaf ping noise is really evident once you get silent switches, that's when you go ham on the leaf lubing lmao
@@ph0roggy oh I see lol I didn’t know there was leaf ping
this is You Suck at Cooking if he made keyboard videos
Shooobs!!!! We need your expertise. Have you ever considered doing a comparison for Penguins?
shoobs you are cool
watching this while i lube feels like a north korean propaganda type experiment. You drilling how to lube in my brain while I lube switches. I already know how to lube why am I doing this to myself
dang it ten minutes late!
I see Rin, I like 😌
Loob
Looob
linear vs tactile vs clicky?
Do a keyboard collection/haul
Topre lubing, wheres my guide my guy??
Thanks bro I have been over loobing my switches bruh 😆🤣
Makise Kurisu Chibi she's so cute
wait.. using a jar is huge brain, idk how many ziplocs ive used to bag lube springs XD
i loob my shoob
I agree
lubes half of the leaf then says "I do not like to lube the leaf"
Am I missing something? He said he doesn’t like to lube the leaf on tactile switches, which he didn’t do. He did lube the leaf in a linear switch in the first part.
Hi shoobs :D
Hello :)

I must be Shoobs since I lbe the same way. Haha.
Holy shit almost 15k already?!! Keep it up man 😈
hey shoobs, is there a reason why you prefer 105 over 106?
so i saw in a vid of yours that gacha + keyboards ruins ones financial life.. i've spent ~1k usd on a gacha this year, and i recently fell into the mechanical keyboard rabbit hole which i NEVER thought would be the slightest of interesting... so basically what im saying, or asking rather, is that the money im about to spend on keyboards is gonna be money im NOT spending on gachas right?
Right?
please god tell me im right
SHEEESH 🥶🥶🥶🥶
but how do I lube Alps switches?
I want some Alps.....
should I film glorious pandas or not?
i thought that was a face reveal for a second
Why does shoobs make only big bad things
I'm a big bad degenerate
for the algorithm
You can also get Krytox 105 oil. But it's EXPENSIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The 5 dislikes are from the clicky gang
I can lube my switches with WD-40 right I heard it makes the switch feel so lubed and nice and lubed and them the spring is so lubed and stem just has like a nice oily coat of lube so WD-40 is the best lube right
Yea that’s right
