  W
context: Yeah this is brave. I always end up dropping a few springs and stems when I’m lubing. Can’t imagine trying to locate them on a plane. >
  
  I tried to mitigate this by putting all the parts into ziploc bags when I wasn't using them, which worked out. Luckily the plane didn't hit turbulence. >
  
  My first thought was, man if I did this the plane would hit an air pocket and the lady behind me would get half a cherry red to the face. >

  Is that what they're calling it these days? How kinky. >
  
  Might want to see a doctor if it's red. >
  
  To an average person, you look like you are either:
  A very creative yet dumb drug dealer having product in the components
  Or a total nutjob for swabbing 'broken' keyboard parts that you just have brought along with you, with lube. >
  
  Everytime someone sees me lubing switches they ask me wtf im doing. >
  
  I'd say that it's warranted >
  
  Just imagine dropping part of a switch and losing it for good >
  
  Start with enough for a TKL, end with enough for a 40. >
  
  start with enough for a full size, end with enough for a numpad >
  
  Flight Attendant: “Hello sir may I ask what you’re doing?”
  OP: “Uhh… I’m j-just tuning this um switch to kill some ti-“
  Flight Attendant: runs to the air marshall >
  
  🤣 >
  
  Must be a long flight >
  
  Was 4 hours, not too long. I was planning on doing it on the previous leg (12 hours) but then was too tired. >
  
  u from asian country ? probably transit in japan or korea? >
  
  I SUCK at putting films on switches. I cannot imagine doing this on a plane. >
  
  It was tedious, messed up a couple times, but no major errors. >
  
  I'm amazed you got that on the plane >
  
  Luckily didn't get questioned by security. I would have thought they would have asked about it. >
  
  Considering they miss about 80% of firearms when tested, I wouldn't be surprised. TSA is theater. >
  
  They miss 80% of firearms but I guarantee they have never once missed a beverage more than 3.1oz.
  Gotta get that $8 post security water bottle money for the airport. >
  
  Can't you just bring an empty water bottle through and fill it at a fountain? >
  
  The bottle itself can't be larger than 3oz. >
  
  False >
  
  "Man, this keyboard's gonna be the bomb!"
  Seat neighbor: o.o >
  
  "HE'S MAKING A BOMB!!! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!! WAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!" >
  
  Can only imagine the looks from those around you >
  
  As a brown man, if I get this far, I cannot imagine the look of all the kens and Karen’s when they see me fiddling with a board . >
  
  i thought you were talking about brown switches and i was like ? >
  
  Why you gotta bring switch color into this? >
  
  i have made a severe and continuous lapse in my judgement, i do not expect to forgiven, i am simply here to apologize >
  
  I feel like this would be the worst of both worlds for me. The process and flight would seem incredibly longer. I hope it worked out for you. >
  
  I couldn’t do this for two reasons. I don’t want to lose a part of a switch, and I don’t want to be on the news. >
  
  I thought that was a bag of bud 😭😭 >
  
  Just a little bit of turbulence… >
  
  Bruh what about the turbulence? >
  
  Great idea really >
  
  How do u bring switch lube into a plane >
  
  usually lube is less than 3.1 oz so it should be fine (USA TSA anyways) >
  
  Black box switches... I see what you did there, and I appreciate the commitment to detail. >
  
  Imagine plane shake and the whole parts and efforts fly away >
  
  better be doing it switch by switch or else one piece of turbulence screws it >
  
  There's no way I would risk it on a tiny tray table hurtling through the sky >
  
  Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude. >
  
  You can tell this guy is white, when it didn't end in the plane being landed prematurely. >
  
  This dude’s going places. >
  
  I’d have to be so zen to even consider doing this on a plane >
  
  Yeahh me too! I can can come up with soooo many reasons to not do this, it would never even cross my mind. >
  
  Travel size lube containers. >
  
  Looking at this photo gives me panic attack. (Imagine dropping a spring/stem on the plane and never being able to find it…) >
  
  I always prepare to sacrifice 5 switches per batch to the keeb gods anyway. Wonky leaf, manufacturing defect, badly lubed, shit don't work, etc. >
  
  How do you make it through security with this and I get stopped by TSA for a banana. >
  
  As someone who's been flying a lot this year for work....
  1.) I already feel weird just bringing my 40% in my carry on. Especially when they make me take it out of its bag to see what it is. 
  2.) I would think you were so weird if you sat next to me. Then I'd probably be excited to have someone to talk to about my keyboard that I brought in my carry on. >
  
  Luckily the only people sitting next to me were someone I know and a grandpa that was sleeping the entire time. The flight attendants passed by multiple times but didn't say anything or have much reaction. >
  
  Genius!!!  "Time flies when there's lubing fun!"  That 13 hour flight must have seemed like minutes. :)  Now the real question which switches are you lubing?!?!? >
  
  Gateron Ink v2 >
  
  So smart♥️♥️ >
  
  I just get drunk and fall asleep... so respect. >
  
  This is sick period. >
  
  You’re an absolute mad-lad >
  
  Nice! >
  
  A true madman! It's definitely a great way to kill time, but this would go so poorly if I even tired. >
  
  I’d had to be your passenger if you knocked that jar of lube off lol >
  
  Welcome to Japan!  Or perhaps goodbye from Japan! >
  
  Haha! I was only there for a layover, will be back for another layover tho. >
  
  My idol >
  
  Can you travel with Krytox in the cabin? >
  
  Is it illegal? I didn't see lubricant as a banned item and didn't have problems with security. >
  
  It's legal, but under 3.0 oz (in the US, but damn that's a lot of lube) and you have to hope you get a TSA agent that doesn't bin it because they don't know what it is.
  Label it moisturizer or lip balm or something. >
  
  i dont know why but i read this as “decided to kill someone on the plane” and i was so confused LOL >
  
  That’s like a big brain move as long as security don’t think your krytox syringe is drugs😅 >
  
  I’m boutta do this on my flight back to Japan >
  
  It’s all fun and games until you hit that turbulence >
  
  To normal plebs u probably look like ur tryna build a bomb. Means ur doing it right. >
  
  "we are about to run into a bit of turbulence" >
  
  SAVAGE >
  
  Should have done this during during my flight from LHR to Changi and back. Couldn’t sleep on that flight. >
  
  misread title as decided to kill some people on the plane >
  
  That's a pretty good use of spare time tbh >
  
  Sings while working “I’m living my stabs, just living my stabs”… now you’re on the no fly list. >
  
  STEMS ON A PLANE >
  
  People calling you brave because of springs and small parts falling from the table, I call you brave because of random Karens calling flight crew to check that you're not building a bomb.   
  Because it happened to me, a local flight here in the Philippines to a tourist spot (Boracay), funny thing is, it was the standard tourist version of a Karen from the US. Lmao >
  
  Not sure its kosher to type kill with a picture in an airplane... Nothing worse than flying and then on top of that lubing and filming some switches hahaha! Lovee this. >
  
  Did you depart from a US terminal? I'd never think you could get this through security due to fluid.
  I don't fly much, but I've heard how difficult security is in the states. >
  
  As long as each item is less than 100ml or 3.4 ounces you are good. >
  
  Now do this at a Centurion Lounge!! >
  
  bomb ? >
  
  They let you bring that stuff on board? >
  
  I don’t see why they wouldn’t, it may get him questioned or sniffed and bag searched. But it is what it is, nothing illegal about it or dangerous. >
  
  Think I'm becoming dyslexic. Read that as "Decided to kill someone on the plane". >
  
  This is a big brain move. Doing this next time. >
  
  I read the title “kill someone” and when I looked at the picture I thought “wtf! poison or something?!” Then I realised they are just some switches >
  
  Excuse me, the person next to me seems to building some kind of bomb >
  
  How did you get lube on a plane? Let alone stabilizers? >
  
  I would be very annoyed if someone next to me on a plane was taking apart switches. That's something that can wait for sure lol >
  
  Looks like a legitimate plane activity 
  Side note: imagine what you can do with that lune if someone annoys you >
  
  The best way. >
  
  Call me sadistic, but I would love nothing more than to see you hit turbulence and those springs scatter everywhere, then awkwardly going to each row on your hands and knees looking for them. >
  
  HE'S GOT A POM! >
  
  Absolute mad man >
  
  You beautiful weirdo. >
  
  Do those switches even need films? >
  
  Not gonna lie. At first it looked like a bag of weed. >
  
  As someone who finds the prospect of tediously disassembling, greasing, and reassembling 4,000 small pieces of plastic pretty obnoxious:
  You're a freaking legend dude >
  
  Yeah FYI krytox basically doesn’t leave surfaces without special solvents so this is maybe not very cool to the people who have to use this after you.  You can put cling wrap or something down (I use Glad Press n Seal) under the workspace to keep everything clean after an easy cleanup.
