How many of you put some oil into this depression where the stem travels:

I saw on WFD's wonderful lubing video that it's good to put high viscosity oil in there (like Victorinox), but I'm wondering if this will slow down the stem movement. Or is that viscosity not enough for that effect vs. spring stiffness?
I've followed WFD's video and done that on both reds and blacks and had no issues. Like WFD, I also lube the stem with the same oil.
Lubing MX-WhiteLast night I tried a couple of different methods of lubing MX-White switches and had mixed results.
- Lubing the side rails killed the click.
- Lubing the actuator on the clicking element killed the click
- Lubing the post hole and stem reduced the click
Ultimately, I just don't think it's worth it. Either I don't have the patience, or the right mix and since MX-White have a softer click, I just didn't want to spend the time.
Anyone else have any success lubing MX-White switches?
