I believe this is called “tub lubing”

Seems like a fair amount. Don't forget to lube the other pin as well 🙈

Ah the first timer’s premature lubing. I know it’s really exciting but you have to get her… its bottom housing off first.

Can't wait to get my new switches to lube. It's so satisfying. I love it.

A little soapy water will take it off, just make sure it’s completely dry before using/reapplying the lube

Now you'll have to do that to all the others too. The difference in mass will change the acoustics on this one too much! I know, this is a whole new level of comedy.

I reread the title and examined the picture 8 times to figure out what exactly I was looking at before I looked at which subreddit it was posted in

This is a community built upon people spending hundreds of dollars on little square pieces of plastic, then waiting years for those little bits of plastic to materialize.

Do not underestimate our capacity for bad decisions.

That's the way to do it. It often feels and looks like it might just be too much. If it's still a bit tight, put even more on, and try again.

aerospikesRcoolBut t1_ixxl4q1 wrote

Isopropyl alcohol will dissolve 105

I often dilute lube with iso in order to bag lube with it, as the iso dries up and leaves lube

Also just a toothbrush and some soap will clean that off the pins too

Just the tip right, Just to see how it feels?

Was it worth it? :P

my first ever batch are on the way, i'll make sure i don't do this.

LoganJFisher t1_ixxqd7d wrote

I'm no lube expert, but that might be a bit too much, especially if that's a tactile or clicky switch.

Quite a few streamers are constantly begged to lick their boards. Sometimes they oblige. There is something weird about licking stuff in this community.

Too much lube is bad. Apply just enough is good. Just a light coat and you should be good to go. You got this!

_GGfighter_ t1_ixxyteh wrote

stop cumming on your switches and use lube, it dries much slower

2

QWERKey-UK t1_ixy0bae wrote

Happens to us all at some point. Just use what's on that switch. Seriously, there's enough lube on that to almost do a whole keyboard. Just put the jar away and use what's on that switch :)

Matasa89 t1_ixyahph wrote

I just take as much off as possible with the brush and put it on the other switches, and when you have gotten as much off as possible, wipe it down.

KingsWill88 t1_ixyekbm wrote

You are not doing it right. I can still see the yellow top parts of the switch.

tastytwo t1_ixyf5re wrote

I think you'll run out of lube if you use that much on every switch.

For an incredibly smooth switch mounting experience

Kempi- t1_ixyz5pb wrote

I’d call that a small amount of overlube.

SteeleDynamics t1_ixzd8t5 wrote

OK, now do the other switches the same way 🙃

Gotta hold it in man. I know the thocc is too sexy but you can’t cream on your switches.

This shouldn't significantly affect the function of the switch once mostly cleaned off though. Also the worst case scenario is you have to chuck a switch worth at at most a a few ten cent coins instead of a motherboard and CPU potentially worth over $1,000.
