The kB community would no doubt scoff at this but fact is, the majority of mech users don't have the skills or desire to desolder an entire board just to lube. This legitimately helps the sound and feel and doesn't in anyway damage the board. So I think it's a great option.

Glad to have helped! If you want to preserve the tactile feel of the browns, lube only three sides. Do not lube the side with metal contacts (copper looking side). If you want it to feel smooth like a linear, lube all four. Test it out on a switch or two first so you can get a feel for it?

I decided to just go ahead and mod a full size keyboard using this method. I've desoldered and lubed several times before. The sound is great using this method - one thing that this does not solve is the spring pinging, however the feel of the switch is nearly identical to the dismantle lube method. Good video :)

is that keyboard good? I was thinking of getting it.

I've recently used this method in my Anne Rro 2 (Gateron Red) and my MSI vigor GK80 (Cherry Silver) and worked like a charm in both. They are my first mechanical keyboards and I didn't wanna risk messing up with sprays or desoldering switches because I have zero experience with a solder. In the future my intention is buying a hot swappable keyboard and I''ll lube the switches the proper way, but so far this is a very good alternative. Time consuming, but safe and with satisfactory results. I've used Super Lube Multipurpose Grease with PTFE and at the beginning switches sounded kinda mushy, but in a few hours sounded better and the next day the feeling was perfect in both keyboards. Anne Pro already sounded quite nice in stock condition but it made a huge difference in the MSI GK80.

@TheDredgenProject

3 жыл бұрын

Glad to know it worked! Some had been asking about Super Lube and it's something that I have not tried so it's good to see that it worked. Was it a thick grease? You probably needed time for the lube to spread out in the switch and even out. Also, yes hotswap is the way to go if you are starting to like modding your keyboards. The reason I put up this video is because a lot of us start with soldered keyboards but do not have an easy way to lube them. A lot do say soldering is easy but there is quite an investment there. Glad to know it helped!

@@TheDredgenProject don't mention it :)

i was thinking of this too, so i searched up to see if this was ever done before, glad to see it has and that it actually has effect, but i was planning to properly lube mine (gateron optical red) but i dont have a switch opener and im not into the idea of using a screwdriver, this method works nice, its a pity that the springs still ping if you hear closely

yeah switch opener is a must. There are some 3D printed stuff online that should be a bit more affordable but metal ones are way better.

I will definitely use your guide to lube my keyboard

Everytime I see 'Spray Lube'I'm bombarded by Hipyo's voice in my head.

Awesome work! I never bought the lube or lubing equipment because I didn't want to desolder all the switches and tbh I quite liked the sound when the keyboard was brand new. After almost 2 years of use I feel a bit of scratchiness now and really want to try this method. Thanks for sharing!

I've been using cherry mx brown for almost a year, and i got a keychron with red switch recently. I personally think that red switch is pretty smooth already! like they're super soft compared to brown switch. But after i clicked this video i'm thinking of lubing my old brown switch!

Good luck! For tactile (brown switches), if you want to preserve the tactile feel, lube only three sides. Do not lube where the metal contacts/legs are. It is the side opposite of the LED- do not lube that side. If you want your tactile bump to feel smoother, then lube all four sides :)

Yeah, i also used to accidentally bend one of the plate inside the switch when i try to disassabmle them 😥 so .. i think i might just lube the 3 sides

It works might try this kind of method

Yup just test out a few switches and put a little bit of lube first so you can test how much lube you like. My Anne Pro sounds way better now.

this helped alot thank you!

I did this with my Keychron K4 not long ago. I've lubed switches and stabs the traditional way before, but I really didn't feel like taking this one apart and doing that again. This was exactly the same process I came up with. I used the same lube I used before, SuperLube PTFE silicone grease, which I also use on stabs (it's cheap and works well, you just have to be super light on application for switches). My K4 has yellow linears, and I was never happy with how they felt, the switches are just really scratchy. At first I wasn't too happy with the result, but after giving it a few days to work in, the switches started feeling much better. As you said in the vid, it isn't the same as doing a full tear down lube. But it is a solid 75-80% there, which is perfectly fine considering the minimal amount of work compared to the other way. I would definitely do this again rather than another tear down.

Great to hear that it worked for you as well! Desoldering and soldering just is a lot of work for me to be honest. Some people do love the "meditation" they get from it but I have never been good with delicate work. It's why I always go for hotswap boards as much as I can :)

@@TheDredgenProject I don't really mind it myself, it's fun when I actually want to sit down and do it. I just never got in the mood for this one. I'll do it eventually, the reason I bought this board was to make a project out of it anyway and swap the switches (Aliaz switches).
