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.

the issue is that the spray lube can cover the metal contacts, which makes the key presses unreliable

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

I think you were supposed to let the spray lube board dry for a day or two before powering it on.
bro the intro was Dream taking over Squashy's body
if you think about it. If you spray the lube in to the switch it will also cover the contact points. so its probably not the best idea.
the lube im using is suppose to be for my trumpet moving pipes and it works very well
1:36 I- I guess that is how it works?!
The reason it wasn't being reliable is because you used too much, and you are supposed to let it dry for 2-3 days before you start using it :)

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.
