Lubricants for mechanical keyboards
Topics: Mechanical keyboard
This note distinguishes lubricant for mechanical switch internals from grease used on stabiliser housings and wires, with examples for each component.
Key switch lubrication
For lubing keyboard switches, 5ml are enough. The most commonly used lubricants are Krytox 205 Grade 0 and Tribosys 3204.
Stabiliser lubrication
Stabiliser housings and wires are usually de-noised using silicone grease such as Permatex.
