Switch ticking is the least talked about problem in keyboards, however it is one of the worst ones to have imo.

I find all uhmwpe blends to have it, but even some switches that are nylon/pc does it. Pretty sure it comes down to the tolerance

According to what I've seen it's because of the lube. Imagine paying over half a dollar per switch and not being able to lube them. Absolutely unacceptable at this price point.

Unacceptable at any price point tbh.

I have only tried one switch that got worse after lubing, TTC wild.

Haven't tried boba LT, but definitely not gonna now.

No matter how you lube a switch, it shouldn't create a problem.

Well ... maybe you should take a look at this + this

Wow thanks for the lube tutorials I suppose, but I've been in this hobby for years and lubed 10+ sets of switches. I think I know how to lube switches man lmao.

It can't really go wrong. Only overlubing, but that's a completely different problem than what is being called out here...

I'd love to mess around and see what I can figure out when I get home, I only had around an hour to mess around with these before work and I get off in half an hour. Besides that though I just put in a two day order for some gateron cream sodas in case these don't satisfy me. Not looking forward to lubing an entire additional batch of switches again but oh well I suppose.
