Super Lube 21010 for Tactile Switches?

[turtlepainter]

I am a total noob at modifying mechanical keyboards, and from what I have seen on YouTube and read online Krytox 204 is recommended for lubing tactile switches as long as not the stems. I have Gateron Browns. I recently saw on the kiiboss website that the lubricant they are offering is Kluber L 50/2 for switches. This is a NLGI grade 2 lube, like Super Lube 21010. If I am careful to only lube the rails and front and rear surfaces of the Gateron Brown switches would Super Lube 21010 be better than Krytox 205g0?

Works well for springs in clicky and tactile switches.

I'd recommend Tribosys 3203 or 3204 for tactile switches. You can be a bit more liberal with it (pretty much everything except the stem and legs). You can quickly cut down on the tactile bump if you get 205g0 on the leaf or legs -- 320x is a bit more forgiving.

G2 grease might work but it would be hell to get feeling right, on lighter tactility switches even 3404 can be easily over applied.
Get some 51004 oil to mix it with and you'll have a better time.

It's mineral oil based as opposed to silicone so it won't last as long, but still plenty good (years vs decades).

The bigger problem is Super-Lube not telling viscosity and that's a major issue.
You want a viscosity of around 150 or less for a smooth feel, sub 100 for ultra snappy but less smooth. The lower it is, the less precise you need to be with it, the higher the number, the easier it is to make a switch feel sluggish.
