help Lube Kit (Krytox 205g0) FAQ
Do I need to lube tactile switches with Krytox 205g0?
Krytox 205g0 is a Grade 0 lubricant, which is quite thick and generally recommended for linear switches like Cherry MX Reds or Gateron Yellows. For tactile switches like Holy Pandas, most enthusiasts prefer a lighter lubricant like TriboSys 3204 to avoid dampening the tactile bump.
What tools are included in a standard Krytox 205g0 lube kit?
A typical kit includes a small jar of the Krytox 205g0 grease, a fine-tipped brush for application, and a switch opener. You will also need a switch puller and keycap puller to fully disassemble your mechanical keyboard before applying the lube.
How much Krytox 205g0 do I need to lube a full keyboard?
A standard 5-gram jar of Krytox 205g0 is generally enough to lubricate up to 320 individual switches. Therefore, one small jar is more than enough for a full-size mechanical keyboard, which typically houses 87 to 104 switches.
Will Krytox 205g0 fix a squeaky mechanical keyboard spacebar?
Applying Krytox 205g0 to the mechanical switches beneath the spacebar will eliminate spring ping, but it will not fix stabilizer rattle or squeaking. To fix stabilizer noise, you need to use dielectric grease or dedicated stabilizer lubricants like Krytox 205g2 on the wire housing.
