How long does Krytox stay on a switch?
« on: Thu, 25 May 2017, 14:18:50 »
I'm somewhat interested in trying lubed Gateron red stems inside of cherry housings. The only issue I can think of is having to open up the board again once in a while and re-lube the switches which is likely a pain. How often do you guys re-lube your switches?

P.S. Removable top plate is not an option for an Anne Pro unfortunately (Unless I do a whole 3D printing or CNC thing)
relax bro.. no one will bite ur head off on geekhack.. this is not that kind of community...   hahahahahahaha


Though tp4 will personally chew you out if you start selling $60 orings.

I would say it greatly depends on the lube used and your environment along with your typing style and frequency.
