How To Lube Your Switches w/ Tips and Tricks - 2022

This is my ultimate guide on how I lube my switches effectively. I wanted to focus more on the dos and don'ts of lubing switches to avoid mistakes and give you all my opinion on some ways to avoid over lubed switches. This guide is meant for cherry MX style switches and focuses on linear variant. Again, the amount lube you use it totally up to you in the end, but start off light and don't be afraid to experiment to get to your desired feel and sound.
On another note here is where you can get some of the materials I used today:
