Hand Lubing Service — Linear & Tactile Switches

HK$10

Consistent hand lubing is a skill — not a shortcut. Every switch I lube is done by hand, one at a time, using a method developed over thousands of switches across years of community work. Springs are never bag-lubed — each spring is coated individually to ensure even, lasting coverage. Stems are lubed with deliberate restraint. On tactile switches, stem legs are left unlubed by default to preserve the tactile bump.

If you have experienced inconsistent bag-lubed or factory-lubed switches, this is the alternative.

Description

Default lubing method

Part Default lubricant
Switch housing & stem Krytox 205g0
Spring LSD oil

Tactile switches: stem legs are not lubed as default, to avoid softening or erasing the tactile bump.

If you prefer a different lubricant, contact me before purchasing. Other lubes are accepted on a case-by-case basis — I need to review and confirm suitability before we proceed.

What is included

  • Full disassembly of each switch
  • Individual spring lubing (LSD oil — never bag-lubed)
  • Housing and stem lubing (Krytox 205g0 as default)
  • Reassembly and basic feel check
  • Film installation, if you supply your own films (no additional labour charge)

Holee mod and bandaid mod are not offered under this service and will not be performed upon request.

Spring swap

Spring swap is available as part of this service. Springs must be supplied by the customer. Please include your springs and specify the swap clearly in your parcel note.

Switch films

Films are not supplied. If you want filming included, provide your own films and indicate this in your parcel note. No additional labour charge for installing customer-provided films.

What you need to provide

  • Switches (any standard MX-style)
  • Films (if desired — customer-supplied only)
  • Springs (if spring swapping — customer-supplied only)

Please count your switches before shipping and include the count inside your parcel.

Warranty

This service carries no warranty. Lubing outcomes are inherently variable — they depend on switch type, mount, plate material, board acoustics, and personal preference. My portfolio is the best reference for what my work produces.

Turnaround time

Minimum two weeks from receipt. Lubing is taken in batches around my schedule. Do not place an order if you have a hard deadline.

Rush orders: Contact me before purchasing to check availability. Rush handling is possible at an additional fee and is still subject to a reasonable minimum timeline.

Delivery & meetup

Ship to me via SF Express, HK Post, or your preferred trackable courier. Meetup is not available. Return shipping is billed separately upon completion.
