Blue switches
« on: Thu, 20 March 2014, 04:20:41 »
Hi All,

I am planning to make a new keyboard using blue switches. I have started lubing and puting stickers. I notices that once lubbed they stop clicking. Is that normal am I doing something wrong?

Thanks for you input !

yes, you're not supposed to lube the entire thing.  only very specific parts.  as well, you're supposed to use thick lubel.

Thanks for the feedback. I was careful not to go everywhere, but I was using the thin lube rather than the thick version.

Good thing I checked after the first 2 ;)
