Just want to make sure that I'm not going to ruin my switches. Thanks in advance.

disassebly the swtich.
lube the spring and all the plastic parts that create friction while moving.
use a thin brush and a proper lobe :)
on youtube you can find thousands of videos ;)

Yeah, look on YouTube. Eg. JUJU or Taeha's guides. The main thing is to avoid the metal leaf and the little knub on the stem that hits it.

Alright, thanks bro. Just wanted to confirm.

IMO avoid the part that creates the bump

If you want to decrease tactility go ahead but, i would recommend just lubing the sides of the switch and the housing. Don't lube the switch leaf and the legs though.

It just depends on your preference really. You can lube the legs aswell but it decreases tactility. Personally I lube the leaf&legs because I abhor ping of any kind(leaf ping, spring ping, you name it :) ) and I usually prefer my tactility on the milder side.
If you're not sure just grab a couple switches lube the legs&leafs and do a couple where you don't touch the legs&leaf. If you only have exactly the amount of switches needed for your board (and you end up disliking the milder tactility) you can either clean it or throw the "ruined" switches on some keys where you probably won't notice it(ie F6/F7/F8 or something).
