How To Lube Your Mechanical Switches: Tealios V2 Review Part 2..

2019-07-20
what's up guys is bida here and this is part two of the teleost v2 linear switches review I've been using them for a few weeks now and they've been simply amazing but like with all things I think they could be a little bit better so lubing your switches is set to smooth out your switches making them feel and sound exponentially better now the method that I'm gonna be using to lube my switches is by my good friend and keyboard god tohat types if you guys aren't already following him you should be because he is super knowledgeable about keyboards but on the other hand if things go wrong we know who to blame hey hop oh sorry alright guys enough talking I'm ready to lube my tea Leo speed to switches so the tools that you're gonna need to open your switches are a flathead screwdriver to get into it or a switch opener I like to switch opener because it takes a little less time you can just pop it right open this one if you want to use it you have to put it in between the two clips right here and press and then it comes off as you see or you can just do a switch puller method or switch opener method I should say well and that just popped open we go we have a switch open already so I'll just leave it open for now you're also gonna need a brush okay Tay how recommended having like this little oil paint brush type thing I'll link everything down below don't worry about it then I have this gh4 Lube it's thick and it's from zeal PC now with a thick Lube I found that you need to apply even less and you would a thin Lube so be very careful with thick Lube I know Tejada did his with thin Lube so I'm doing my with thick so I think that about covers what you're going to need I'll again like I said I'll have everything down in the comments below and not in the comments but in the description so the first step you're gonna take the brush and dip it in to the loop now you see how I have a bunch on there that's not what you want so you want to take a lot of that excess off especially when you have this thick Lube you don't take a lot off I found that you don't need that much with this one and so what you're gonna do is you're going to take the switch now you see these two little columns on the side here there's one on each side you're going to go one since I have thick loop I'm only gonna go once on it because thick loop is just crazy and then you're going to rub it inside this center column right here easy enough one time around then you're going to take the spring okay take the spring put some on the bottom there put that into the center column there you go and you're gonna get then top nice and oiled as well then you're gonna dip your brush one more time the same thing you want to take even less this time so I'm gonna just like try to like get everything off the brush with this thick one so get all of that off you're gonna grab the stem right and then you're gonna go down the side so down here once time you go once over here and then this part is the you're not gonna get the front in the back and then the legs don't go down this part if you have tactile switch you see these little legs that are poking out there if you go against this part it will make your switches less tactile so or mess up the tactile bump so that is not what you want so steer clear of that and but since we have linear since the tele doses are linear we can leave those as well and then we're gonna Lube the bottom try to get everything as even as you can consistency is key because you want your whole keyboard to feel the same you don't want some keys to be overly lubed and some not and then you're just gonna put the stem back on the spring place it forward towards that metal clip I don't even know I think that's the metal clip metal switch thingy okay I'm not you know so then you put the switch back on like so put the top housing back on you press it in and you have your switch lubed and there you have it now all you have to do is do this sixty to sixty five times more or if you have a full-size keyboard which I don't even want to think about because that's a ton of keys it's gonna take you about three hours to get all of your switches done so yeah that's how you lube your switches oh yeah mmm now this is definitely taking my switches to the next level they kind of dampen the sound and they definitely feel a lot less scratch here and they feel smooth all the way down okay one thing to notice that I don't know if it's because I use thick Lube or what but I did notice that my switches did slow down slightly so if you're using something like a speed silver or you just have like a need for speed this is not gonna beat your friend I do want to put this to the test and maybe try some thinner Lube maybe that's where I went wrong I'm sure take I will disown me after saying that but anyways guys thank you guys for watching this video I hope you guys have enjoyed this video it has been your boy bt Luger switches because it is simply amazing it really does make a difference and it will give you an overall better typing experience alright guys that is my time it has been your boy bt saying i already said that but alright
