will that be fine for lubing my quick fire rapid keyboard ?

Don't lube..

Cherry MX is not designed to lube..  Any lube you put on won't stay in place very long..

And if you are not switching out to a quick swap plate,   it's way too much labor.

i have seen many people lubing costar stabilizers
i needed to wash my space bar but didnt think about washing the lube that was on the mounts on both sides
now its rattling and loose
so i hope that lube will do the job

What do you want to lube? The stabilizer or the stem of your cherry switch?

People usually use white lithium grease for stabilizers.

ok so i have ordered that lube from ebay...

I would be a little leary of a grease produced in China or India, especially when they do not disclose what is actually in it, just that it contains silicone.  There are some materials that are not good for plastic.

I purchased this Dielectric Grease and it worked great for lubing friction points on cherry stabilzers.

I also purchased this, but have not used it yet. Traxxas Silicone Grease

There is not always a problem with lubricant components themselves, but most "lubricant products" have more liquid components that help keep them liquid to apply and penetrate easily. The combination of solvents and plastics are unpredictable, especially long-term. Have you seen an old keyboard with its cable wrapped around it for years in storage, and the plasticizers in the cable literally melted into the keyboard case?

[jcoffin1981]

I mean it's *probably* okay, but who can say for sure.  The seller says it's safe for electronics and plastics.  I would just use it sparingly at the friction points so it doesn't drip and travel to unwanted areas.
