Question about lubing Filco
« on: Sun, 30 March 2014, 16:24:08 »
Hey guys, 

I currently have Filco TKL Brown Majestouch which I had for about 3 years and I thought maybe I should go ahead and apply some lube to make it as good as new. Now this is my first time modding a keyboard so I wanted to ask which lube is beat for my keyboard and is there a guide or video tutorial on how and where to lube my keyboard? Thanks in advance!

Thanks for that video, great tutorial. Anyway I wonder if it's necessary to lube every spots that he did on the video. That sure will take a long time. Also any recommendation on which lube to use?

The thick formula is for switches with tactile bump (like blues/browns/clears) and the thin is for linear (reds/blacks). The most important spot is the sliders of the stem, if you want to save on time you can skip lubing the spring.
