Is it possible to lube mx switches, without having to desolder or disassemble them?

Well all the parts you'd be lubing are inside the housing, so no, not without dissasembly. But if the swiches are PCB mounted to can take off the housing top without desoldering

I think its possible to lub without desoldering however, if you have a PCB mounted board. I think you can just take the top half of the switch off
