Everything About Pre-Lubed Mechanical Switches
Pre-lubed switches are a popular choice for both beginners and seasoned custom keyboard enthusiasts. They offer convenience and performance without the need for a time-consuming manual process. Here are answers to common questions to help you decide if they are right for your build.
What are factory-lubed switches?
Factory-lubed switches are mechanical keyboard switches lubricated by the manufacturer during production. A light lubricant is applied to the switch stem and housing to reduce friction. This results in a smoother keystroke and improved sound compared to dry, un-lubed switches.
Are pre-lubed switches good enough for a custom keyboard?
For most people, yes. High-quality factory-lubed switches provide an excellent experience that rivals a basic hand-lubing job. They save significant time and are a massive upgrade over stock, non-lubed switches, making them a great choice for any custom keyboard project.
Can you lube over factory-lubed switches?
You can apply your own lubricant over the factory's, but it's not always recommended. Mixing lubes can sometimes lead to an inconsistent feel. For best results, many enthusiasts prefer to clean the factory lube off completely before applying their preferred lubricant for a uniform finish.
How do pre-lubed switches change the sound?
Lubrication dampens high-frequency sounds, which is why pre-lubed switches often sound deeper and less 'scratchy' or 'pingy'. It's an easy way to achieve a more premium, quieter sound profile for your mechanical keyboard without any extra work.
What are the best pre-lubed switch brands?
Gateron, JWK (Durock), and Kailh are renowned for their quality factory-lubed switches. Gateron is a great budget-friendly choice, while JWK is known for premium smoothness. Always check recent reviews, as the quality and consistency of factory lubing can change between batches.
