Title: How long does Krytox stay on a switch?
Post by: Encabulator on Thu, 25 May 2017, 14:18:50

I'm somewhat interested in trying lubed Gateron red stems inside of cherry housings. The only issue I can think of is having to open up the board again once in a while and re-lube the switches which is likely a pain. How often do you guys re-lube your switches?

P.S. Removable top plate is not an option for an Anne Pro unfortunately (Unless I do a whole 3D printing or CNC thing)

I would say it greatly depends on the lube used and your environment along with your typing style and frequency.
