lubing costar stabilizer?

[jonathanyu]

Hi, i am using filco ninja right now, i found that the feel of the key that using costar stabilizer is not  very good(except the space bar). so i want to know that is that possible to lube the stabilizer? and what kind of lubricant should i use ? 

And also, why the space bar feel better that shift, enter, and backspace? especially the enter

you can actually use any decent grease you want since it isn't that noticeable on the stabs compared to switches.

i am thinking of that too, since the krytox is very expensive

The lube I used was Krytox GPL 205. Yes, it's rather expensive. Almost any lube should be ok, but just remember it has to be grease (not oil) and also metal and plastic safe. You could consider getting some great lube from this upcoming group buy for pretty cheap. I did not have this opportunity when I bought my stuff:

The_Beast is forever telling me that "Superlube" will work great on stabilizers and that's what WASD uses as well.

superlube, ok one more choice thank you!

I also forgot to say that The_Beast told me he snagged Superlube from a Home Depot/Lowes too so that might help you out ^__^

It's also dirt cheap on Amazon.  Perfect if you have Prime.

the spacebar probably feels better to you cause it comes pre lubed.  I had to lube my backspace enter and shift keys on my filco to make them smoother and quieter.
