  The more you do it, the quicker it gets. You’ll get into a motion. It doesn’t have to be perfect.
context: Jaja my wife just hates when I lay out all the parts and especially Krytox. I usually start very enthusiastic but when I'm around the 30th switch I become grumpy and start asking myself existential questions like: " is it really true that Cherry Switches will last more than 100k actuations".... >
  
  Tell Jaja i said hi! >
  
  Hallo mein Freund :) >
  
  No >
  
  Where's your tv? >
  
  He sold it to buy the keyboard >
  
  Where's the keyboard?  LOL >
  
  He sold to buy switches and lube >
  
  A TON of Krytox205g0 >
  
  Someone tell Glarses to make an entire keyboard out of Krytox205g0 >
  
  Even the sound of finger on the top of the keycaps is THOCC
  Also use as an eraser to put some lube on the cake cast >
  
  I just pay people at this point because my mental health literally degrades and it stresses me out and I go insane lol. Just me though but lubing switches is only something I've done three times after being in the hobby for 2 years >
  
  Its so therapeutic, why does it stress you out so much? If this stresses you out you should’ve seen some of the things we used to do back in the dark days of this hobby >
  
  Pulling the switches is a nightmare >
  
  This is secretly my main reason to use a 40% >
  
  First time lubing took me like 3 hours. After that, next set of switches was for my Planck, took me no time at all lol, much prefer a 40% >
  
  It's all part of the hobby.  I find it relaxing. Put some music on that hifi..  relax and get into the flow  :) >
  
  I hear podcasts when soldering >
  
  Jazz Hop Café for me. >
  
  I put Lore videos of some kind on, lately it’s been 40k >
  
  Prebuilt gang, baby :D
  All jokes aside, I haven’t had a chance to try anything like that yet, but I’m excited to actually build my first keyboard. I’m looking forward to the headaches >
  
  All part of the process. Helps you appreciate the result even more imo.
  I still have a few gat milky yellows laying around, didn't buy factory lubed ones on purpose because I wanted to go through it with them again until my Adam kit arrives... or something like that.
  Part of me is hating myself for doing that, part of me is looking forward to spending time with my new stuff. I just have to start... >
  
  I am glad I like clickies >
  
  You will eventually find your groove and shortcuts to cut the time... after lubing like 5 batches of switches lol. But even then it still takes me hours to lube switches >
  
  Its a lot more pleasant if you did something on the side while you lubed your switches. For me  I like watching a show though I'm mostly listening to the show rather than watching so I don't get sidetracked too much >
  
  Best advice is to do it like an assembly line. Do one part completely and then do another. For instance I lube all the bottom housing, then I lube the spring, then the stem, and then top housing if I need to. Before this I was lubing each switch individually and it was taking ages. Keep it up! You’ll be happy with the result! >
  
  Yeah, it took me 10 hours to lube all the keys in my TKL keyboard ... and I need to redo half of them because I did it on two different days and the sound is inconsistent.... >
  
  10 hours? Bro what >
  
  it was my first time and i didnt open all at once, i did one after the other >
  
  Batch processing is where it's at. >
  
  I just finished lubing a 60% yesterday. First 10 switches in and I already gave up lol. Had to do it by batch. I still have a tkl and 65% board that I have to lube, but I'm still trying to find the motivation to do so. >
  
  That's the reason why I don't lube the bottom housing anymore and only lubing the stem and bag lubing the springs >
  
  I put down 3 bowls: one for stems and two for housings then bag lube springs then just start lubing and putting together switches while i watch a taeha or alexotos vod c: >
  
  Get a lube station makes it 100 times easier >
  
  Intense hand cramps after lubing enough switches for a board >
  
  Nice moccasins! >
  
  Once you start, you might as well go all in! >
  
  Now you’re in the rabbit hole 
  There’s no escape ✋🏻 >
  
  I made a custom keyboard to use in the office because I can't take the membrane keyboard anymore and while it was nice to do something tactile that didn't involve looking at a screen it took so long to finish the job. ...but I kind of want to do another. >
  
  Just ordered some pre-lubed Akko Lavenders, having looked at some lubing guides and decided that was an amazingly terrible idea >
  
  i love doing this. It‘s so calming. I watch a good series while lubing my switches, and everything is fine for a moment 😌 >
  
  I found lubing switch can be relaxing. The key is to only lube 10-20 at a time, and take a bit of rest in between >
  
  Lubing doesn’t bother me at all.  At this point I kind of like it.  I use 4 solo cups a ziplock bag and a little lubing stand that lets me set the bottom in.  I separate all the pieces into their cups and the springs into the bag.  Then it goes in this order for me lubing, ten at a time. Base, switch film, spring, stem, top.  Then I click them back together and repeat. >
  
  Get a lube station I could never do it like this lmao >
  
  I've still got 3 packs of drops new panda X switches that I need to lube up for my Sense75.
  I keep telling myself, I will get those switches lubed this weekend. Weekend comes and either totally forget or just don't feel like doing it. Sooner or later the keeb will show up so I gotta get crackin on it this weekend. >
  
  A true supper. >
  
  Tell me you don't have a cat without telling me... >
  
  Omg, I thought they were drug paraphernalias until i zoomed in and realized they were switches. >
  
  Embrace it. Learn to love back pain and the headache you get from squinting for so long. Do it for the thock. >
  
  Oh man I love projects like this, I just got into this hobby recently and I’m already foaming at the mouth for the chance to spend hours fixating on something. Going to try to mod mine for the first time soon and I can’t wait. >
  
  when i first got into the hobby during COVID, I had the whole lube set up and i probably have close to a 1000 switches lubed right now. Now i exclusively buy factory lubed swiches lol. Oil Kings and AKKO's lubed line were game changers for me, I'll never lubed another switch in my life >
  
  Just buy tangerines or oil king >
  
  Yeah it took me nearly the entire day to do mine💀 >
  
  I love lubing switches, guess im a psycho
