I have some MX Blacks that I'm trying to lube to see what all the fuss is about. I've also previously lubed MX Silent Blacks with little success.
I have some Krytox lube VPF , which is just 'meh'. I recently bought some 100% silicone oil to lubricate a treadmill, so I decided to try it on switches. It seems to be a little bit better since it's slightly thicker and doesn't bead up like the Krytox. I also tried using some of my paintball gun grease (GOG Gr33se), which didn't produce much better results.
These MX Blacks are from a couple of G80s from around , I think. They sucked as they were. I put them in an ultrasonic cleaner and have lubed them in various ways with various combinations of these three lubricants, and it just seems random which ones are decent and which ones are bad. I'd say 10% of them turn out pretty good, 40% turn out ok, and 50% of them still suck after lube. The only thing that's consistently fixed by the lube is the spring noise. I have a few Gateron Blacks as well. I've heard they are supposed to be really smooth, but they feel about the same but don't sound as good, so maybe my expectations are too high. I have an MX Black from a switch tester with no lube that feels fantastic, and I have one from this batch that turned out great, which I'm using as a benchmark for the others.
Anyway, I'm wondering a couple of things: 1. Is expensive lube just a placebo? How different could it really be? It's the same few non-petroleum ingredients, just in different ratios, right? 2. If a switch is crap, lube isn't going to do much, is it?
I just don't want to waste my time lubing these and soldering them in if I simply need better switches or lube.
