Mechanical Keyboard Switch Lubing
Switches feel scratchy because the stem and spring slide on raw plastic. Lubing applies a thin layer of Krytox 205g0 to the moving parts of every switch, so each keypress feels smooth, consistent and quiet. KeebForge lubes individual switches by hand, at ₹12 per switch.
What this service is
Switch lubing is the application of a thin, even layer of Krytox 205g0 to the moving parts of each switch — the stem legs, rails and springs.

Frequently asked questions
What is keyboard switch lubing?
Switch lubing is the application of a thin, even layer of lubricant to the moving parts of each switch — the stem legs, rails and springs — so keys feel smooth and consistent instead of scratchy.
What lube do you use?
Krytox 205g0, a premium dielectric grease widely used for linear and tactile switch springs and housings.
How much does switch lubing cost?
Krytox 205g0 lubing is ₹12 per switch. Spring swap & oil is ₹3 per switch and switch stem tuning is ₹5 per switch.
Should I lube my switches?
If your switches feel scratchy, gritty or inconsistent, lubing is the most direct fix. Linear switches benefit most; tactile switches are lubed more sparingly.
Can I send only my switches?
Yes — you can ship just the switches. The buyer covers shipping in both directions.
How long does lubing take?
Turnaround is generally 5–7 days depending on order size and the queue.
