Did you make sure to lube them “the gazzew way”? If you don’t, it damages the leaf which can lead to reduced tactility or ticking.

The gazzew way is when you press the stem all the way down before closing the top housing

I did the Gazzew way once and it literally broke the leaf. So I’m never doing that again lol

Weird. I’ve lubed hundreds of boba u4ts with that method and never had issues. I wonder if you just received a crappy batch. Any chance you still have 1 or 2 untouched and unlubed that tick? You might be able to convince the vendor you ordered from for a refund or replacement

I'm seeing people say it's because I lubed them. I don't have any stock ones left because I'm using a 67% keyboard and I just lubed all 70. I was under the assumption that paying 65 cent a switch would give you a high quality switch that would be very nice lubed. Apparently you get a switch that has a very obnoxious noise when you lube them. I'm probably going to just bin these switches and never buy them again tbh. Currently looking at the cream sodas from gateron as I've literally never had a single issue with gateron switches.

They are good. They are very muted however.

I can recommend green and red jackets from knc/tecsee.

I just bought the switches after hearing a sound test and lubed them like normal switches. I never knew there was a "gazzew way". If I knew there was a ridiculous method or extra steps required to "properly" lube the switches I wouldn't have bought them.

This is why it is important to do your research.

Clearly not, lmfao

Oh yeah, sorry. That's completely my bad bro I shouldn't have expected to be able to buy switches for a premium price and not be able to lube them 100% my fault man. Yeah cut the clown shit bro. Switches are supposed to be lubed, if lubing causes issues the switch is garbage in my opinion.
