Best Krytox GPL 105/205 Mix Weighting for Signal 63.5g Tactile Switch

[dragonken]

Hi All,

I mixed 205g2 + 105 with 50/50 weighting for 67g Holy Panda and it works great.
Now I use the same weighting for 63.5g Signal Tactile Switch and found it isn't good.

After investigation, it is understood that the mix weighting should be adjusted for the spring weight.

Please kindly advise what's the best mix weighting with 205g2 & 105 for 63.5g Signal Tactile Switch?
Or is it ok to directly use 205g0?

Regards,
Ken

Whever told you it needs to be adjusted isn't really explaining it well, thinner lube leaves a crisper feel, thicker leaves a smoother feel.
That's all there is to it.

Which you prefer is up to you, there's no magical formula based on spring pressure or switch.
Thicker will take a longer to settle and can cause a switch to be soggy if you're running super high tactile/light springs but they should still work in just fine given a little time to settle. Which is very possibly what you're seeing, you have older switches all settled in and comparing them to a freshly lubed switch, freshly lubed always feels more sluggish compared to one that has settled in.

You can just try it out for yourself, and if you like it, that's how it is.
