Cherry originally did this to their blue switches. If you want to imorove blues, jailhouse mod is the way.

Damn I didn’t know I was on PH with that much lube. 😂👌

I don't know why but for some reason I feel like there's a slow moving ceiling fan in the background and some 70's funk playing on the radio

Close enough lmao

The blob has invaded your switches watch out!!!

The blob is a fellow clicky hater, therefore he's my friend

Good idea, I'll make sure to add a bit more to the next one

i think most people dont know that blues were orginally pre-lubed to avoid the click sound and the jacket was just to introduce hysteresis (might be misremembering tho)
i think then people asked to not lube so they could get audible feedback like the typewriters and buckling springs etc had/have

Actually the lube was so much that it formed a second wall around the stem, so it's like a cherry MX brown

Either a crime or a fix depending on your view of clicky switches
catjam25 t1_j2fd9q3 wrote
Do you have a before / after example? What type of lube is that?

Shave the bump with a razor blade if you hate clicks. And lube. You’ll have an interesting switch. I’m still not sure how to feel about it though .

Serious question:
I have a cheap board with Otemu blues that I used a few years ago when I had an office job. Got a new job and will be back in an office half the time. The switches are a bit scratchy and have a metallic ping. What can I do to improve the experience?

you think someone has lubed switches with yk what(c*m)
AlphaTecBoards OP t1_j2fmt5j wrote
Honestly? If it's not hotswap, I'd recommend spaying them with some silicone grease. If you can easily swap switches, get anything other than outemu switches. Good cheap options are gateron pro v2 and v1s , as well as akko switches in general.
Ofunatoofunato t1_j2fnvd3 wrote
Not swappable.
AlphaTecBoards OP t1_j2fp84u wrote
Alright, feel free to dm me so I can explain how to lube them with spay lube or just search: "how to lube switches without desoldering". Also consider adding some foam below the PCB or some cotton between the PCB and the top
Ofunatoofunato t1_j2fq6b2 wrote
Thanks for the help! I have some foam and will try to open up the case. I think I can manage lubing.
