Lol...just go to the plumbing section of your local Home depot and get a dollop of silicone grease for 1/2 that price.

hmm interest and just as WASD was talking about selling the new stuff that he switched to. I just pick up some White Lithium Grease, youll be amazed at how much youll get for $3. Or if you adventurous check out DeoxIT FaderGrease.

Also doesnt EK sell only Cherry stabilizer keyboards? Is there even a way to grease those?

If you look at the pictures it shows the spots on the Cherry stabilizers that should be greased.

What I meant to say is there they any way to grease them properly like you would a Costar stabilizer. I took a look at the cherry stabilizers on my SteelSeries 7G and there seems to be a to of play between the inset and the part that it slides inside. This make me wonder how much lubing that would do.
