i dunno about that paintbrush though, does not seem mkb grade. :)
For the rest it seems to my eyes fairly compatible, you will need to cut the 2 extra plastic legs from your pcb mount switches switches though as like most hs pcb this one does not have the holes for them, so keep that in mind or try to find plate mount switches

Not sure what you think you need dielectric grease for.

As for the brushes, dollar store bargain, you aren't doing artwork.

what are you talking about, only the best brushes will do for keyboard lubing, applying the absolute perfect amount of lube is paramount to the whole experience.
(only joking, do what Leslieanne said, much better use of your money)
