Thanks for a well laid out and easy to follow video Taeha! Just wanted to let you know even after a year or so, these tutorial videos are still helpful for newbies like me starting out in the mechanical keyboard hobby.

Just found this channel trying to find help for my first custom keyboard and you've made a subscriber out of me! Love the music, instruction, and clear visuals. Top tier channel right here!

I thank you for this. Took my first step into the whole keyboard modding business. Did my first switch which was my space bar and did the stabs as well and it's insane how much of a difference it makes. Watched both of your videos on how to do that and it came out better than I expected it being my first time. I'm excited to do the rest. I write this with my new and improved space bar. Haha.

You’ve gotten me into custom keyboards. My parts are coming in soon. So im super excited. From pcb to key caps. So excited!

I’m just about to do my first ever batch of lubing and I’m SO happy you updated your lubing video, so helpful 🙏

Nice to see an updated version of your old lubing video. I have already lubed my switches for my new keyboard but this would be a good reference for future builds.

Thanks for the howto. I dumped my last night onto lubing the switches of my new full-size mechanical keyboard and used your video as reference. I'm absolutely stoked how awesome it sounds now. It was the first time I did this to a keybaords and having watched your video gave me the confidence to not mess up.

just completed lubing some switches, this tutorial explains everything so well but keeps it simple and understandable for someone who doesn’t lube or is beginning too, this tutorial will be used for ages

I knew this is coming! Best Tutorial series of all time!

This is the best tutorial of lubing switches. The quality makes it understandable and easy to replicate

So helpful. I'm just getting into building keyboards and trying to learn as much as I can before I actually start the build. I never thought about how something as simple as lubing switches can make such a difference.

just came across the ''how to lube stabilizers'' and you just uploaded this too, perfect timing, love the quality of your videos. much love man

I was just looking for a tutorial, Taeha knows what I thinking lol

I come back here and watch for a review since I don't build keyboards often, best vid I have found so far and I will probably watch again in another 6 months

My Kailh Speed Coppers are literally a completely different switch after I lubed them. My god does it make a world of difference. It's an absolute pain in the groin and so time consuming but the end result is OH SO AMAZING! Thank you for the top notch editing and production. Pure gold!

Been waiting for this for sooooo long

I'm so glad I found your channels. Production quality is awesome, you seem to be a great guy, and your knowledge is insane. Can't wait get get my hands on my first mechanical keyboard and start my journey into the hobby :)

Pretty sure I'll be tuning into this channel why I spend 6+ hrs lubing my switches on my first build! Keep up the great work Taeha!

thanks for the awesome guide. just finished my first set of lubed switches and its honestly a world of a difference!

Solid video, hopefully we see more videos like this often, especially considering how relatively hard it is to find easy to comprehend guides like this for beginners (QNH would agree KEKW) :)

This video helped me a ton when I finally built my first mechanical keyboard on stream. I just did not expect it to take 5 hours to lube 40 switches! Thank goodness my board was a 40% only or else I would have cried. Take care and keep doing what you are doing. Your content is educational and entertaining for beginners like me.

Clear visuals as you're explaining is greatly welcome for someone wanting to learn how to do this. Might I recommend doing a separate video on the anatomy of a switch showing what a "slider rail", "leaf", "stem legs", etc.

I have used this technique to lube my Gazzew Boba U4T with Tribosys 3203 lube. They are tactile switches so I decided not to lube the leaf or the legs at all. They feel and sound amazing! Thanks for the tutorial

10:48 I think that was for glarses

This is already a Masterclass level type of tutorial.

May I just comment on how much I love your subtle background music. Rounds out these tutorial videos ever so nicely.

Your tutorial was a godsend mate thanks so much! Extremely well produced and organized.

this video was perfectly timed, building my first custom in a few days :)

Loving these high quality guides, makes it easy to reference to new members of the hobby. Are you going to make a guide on lubing other styles of switches? For example topre/niz EC, Alps, etc.

Did my first build following this guide for lubing and the switches came out perfect for my liking. Thank you so much for this video!

That “Stem Holder” is known as a four prong Jewel picker

"Stem holder is a quality of life improvement thing..." The whole lubing switches deal is just that :D

It finally happened! Perfect timing. About to lube my second batch of switches. I can see what I might have done wrong the first time. hah

This might get buried in the comment but the stem holder linked is not actually SE and the product that arrived was empty. Talked to amazon about it ,but it seems to be a known issue to the actual SE people. AKA Don't get the stem holder linked since they have a no refund policy and it's most likely fake.

its pretty rare for "underlube to be an issue, as for overlube it generally gets sorted out over time as you use the switch

Damn no way I can measure the ammount of lube by eye. I just stick my brush in the lube, brush it against the container until most of it is off and then start lubing.

I love coming back to this video for a refresher. Like, I don’t know where I got it from (probly hipyo) but super lube for springs. Looking like I’ll be running a small experiment on my switches before settling on what I want to use. Most I’ve learned is though is that super lube is thinner and won’t alter sound profiles or feel too much…. I think. This is gonna be so much fun!

The master. The video. The process. Even for the simple things, you've spared no expense.

Oh Yeah! Going back and forth between "Technical and "Mechanical" with consistent lubing. I accidentally Came to this video while looking for some " Glarses". Your instructions and the song set the perfect mood. It took me a few hours and consistent washing of my hands but I believe I finally Came to fruition. Feeling like the happy "Typer" now! Royal Kludge to Royal Fudge. Smooth Finish Tahea. Lube on!

Never watched a lubing video before, but i have lubed switches i can tell you that i have over lubed my switches. For first timers this videos is a life saver can't explain how frustrating it is over lubing just wasted countless hours. Less is defiantly more

when you realise you've been overluling switches all the time
