Reply to comment by Shiba_Fett in Can i lube switches with that? by Lowriders34

Thank you! i have another question

Can i lube the stabs with krytox or do i need a thicker lube for the stabs?

I like krytox 205 for stabs and switches. It's a perfect lube for that. But I personally like to go thicker on the wire, Id use a dielectric grease like the one you posted just on the wire and no where else.

This is the way.

Do i need to lube my switches every year or how often do i need to do it?

Just once. Its not like a car, after you lube them it should last the life of the keyboard.

alexotos has a great video on youtube.

you can use krytox if you don't want to buy extra lube for stabs. You could also use dielectric. Just dip the ends of the wire and you're good.
