Title: Hako switches becoming clicky
Post by: pixelpusher on Sun, 16 September 2018, 12:15:54
Anyone else experience this?  I have some of the first batch of Hako True box switches in my Canoe.  Over time, almost off of the switches have developed a little click where the tactile event is.   I replaced the worst of them a few months ago, but the replacement switches are clicking too.

I mean, there have to be more people out there.  Surely i wasn't the unlucky bastard who got the ONLY 80 hako true switches that started clicking.  Right?  Right???!!

I opened a switch a few days before, took it apart, and put it back together. The switch became clicky. The only thing I can think of why this happened, is that the thin lube is gone because my fingers, as I touched the parts. So I guess the lube has gone...

That makes sense to me bc there is a lot of lube on that little plastic rectangle they have inside the switch that presses on the contact.  Maybe the lube degrades quickly and I’m hearing the results.
