Yo guys I’m writing this because I’m new to the hobby and I’ve done a mistake on my current build! I’ve bought some ktt strawberry and they were factory lubed so I socked them in water dried them and then lubed, but now after months of the build they are giving me a lot of problems, so I’ve bought some C3 tangerine that are factory lubed too and I want to know how you guys deal lubing factory lubed switches?
Thanks in advance for the answers!
I always just lube over it as if there wasn’t lube there to begin with
Do you use another lube or you adjust the lube already on the switch?
Another lube, like krytox or whatever. I’m sure it’s not 100% optimal to have them mix but it’s probably fine
Why are you re-lubricating lubed switches? If you are redoing the lube, are you using a solvent to remove the previous application? What sorts of problems are you having?
I just got into custom boards and I’ve had Strawberries for two months now. They’ve been perfect. I can’t complain about the factory applied lube.
Because factory lubed switches aren’t always lubed the right way that’s why, and I much prefer to do it my self with krytox.
Then the best way would be to remove the factory lube using a solvent, or don’t buy pre-lubed switches to begin with. Just rinsing with water won’t remove any lubricant.
