Krytox 105

I had just gotten my custom keyb parts: glorious panda switches, polycarbonate plate, 65% pcb, OEM profile keycaps. I had used a small amount of tribosys 3203 for my switches, and a few drops of Krytox GPL 105 to bag lube my springs. While it sounds GREAT and I love it, lubed makes it feel a liiittle too bit mushy for my taste. While I love glorious pandas unlubed as well, it doesnt sound as great and has that spring \*pang\*.

I since then lubed the switches with Krytox 205g0 and bag lubed the springs with Krytox 105 (oil) which basically means you remove all the springs from the switches, put them together into a small zip lock bag or a small plastic closable container, add some drops of Krytox 105 oil, close and start shaking until the oil has dispersed evenly over all springs. It might also help to lube the spring guide on the underside of the stem of the switch; I did so using Krytox 205g0. I'm very happy with the result, the spring ping is completely gone now.

I live in Asia, so getting a vial of Krytox or Tribosys means paying through the nose. Krytox GPL 105 is around 85~89 cst, so the silicon oil is just slightly thicker. I’m planning on living tactile switches, so I won’t lube the legs.
