Anyone prefer it without lube?
« on: Tue, 22 October 2013, 15:22:39 »
I have a KMAC now with lubed clears and I find that I prefer my non-lubed clears on my filco for the better tactile response.  I think that I might like lube on a linear switch though so I plan on having my vintage blacks with 55g springs lubed.

I have never tried any with lube, yet. I'm still talking about cherry mx switches.

Where do I get the right lube? For my keyboard.

this is very true...  though I think it comes down not to the "absence" of lube.. rather it is the "viscosity" that determines the overall experience.

WFD modded it for me.  It stars in his video on the process.

I tried a video search for "lube" but I didn't find much to do with keyboards.
