Title: Tribosys 3203 Switch Lubricant - good for stabs?
Post by: phinix on Sun, 03 March 2019, 09:15:15

Hi guys. I bought Tribosys 3203 Switch Lubricant - should it be ok for stabilizers?
I have Telios 67g switches that will be soldering onto Varmilo VA69M keyboard next weekend and wanted to check if this lube be ok for stabs.
I won't be lubing Tealios, I think they are great without, but don't want those stabs be ratling, so thought I could put some lube on them?

It would be too thin. I like dielectric grease for stabs.

OK. I also have this Super Lube Silicone Lubricating Grease with PTFE (https://www.kustompcs.co.uk/peripherals/keyboards/mechanical-keyboards-accessories/super-lube-silicone-lubricating-grease-with-ptfe-1.0ml/) - would that be better?

Yep! That's what I use for my stabs.
