I was wondering if anyone has used
DuPont Teflon Non-Stick Dry-Film Lubricant
for switch lubricant?
I'm new to lubing switches. I was trying to figure out what the "optimal" and "optimal for cost" lubricants are and I ran across some interesting information around the web.
A reddit post from an elitekeyboards.com rep
and a comment
from mkawa here on geekhack
have lead me to direct my attention away from Krytox and towards dry PTFE based lubes for cost, availability, and performance reasons.
I was hoping someone with more experience than I could give their thoughts/insight. If a user has a lot of experience with lubing and/or would be willing to write up their opinions on the lube I linked above, I would be willing to buy/ship them a bottle to get 1 to 1 comparison to more commonly used lubes here (Krytox seems to be the most popular, but maybe I've misread that).

EK have their own reasons for speaking out against Krytox.. namely pimping their own products.
I can say from experience, in the long run, nothing feels as good or holds up as well as Krytox in an office or home setting.

I have used that lube you pictured with good results. It is great to have around the house for all sorts of other things anyway.
I use Elite Keyboards' thick lube for stabilizer tabs and it has been excellent. The curved plastic tip is great. I have done at least a couple of dozen keyboards and am just now running out.
Also a syringe of Krytox (maybe 1cc or less) has been quite nice and has lasted a long time.
