Almost any time you hear someone talking about lubing their mechanical keyboard, you'll hear the name Krytox. First, I was surprised at the overly done packaging. It's in a little metal tin and then also has a little snap together case. Finally, it has an excellent peel-away seal keeping everything fresh. This Krytox 205G0 lube is an excellent lube for almost anything you may need. Supposedly, its the best for Linear switches, and can also be used for Tactile but you have to be more careful and use a thinner layer. It can also be used on stabilizers. The only downside is that it doesnt come with a paintbrush or any other accessories, so you have to get one separately. Read more

205g0 is the perfect viscosity to lube keyboard switches. I used this to lube my banana split switches, and it works perfectly. There is a bit of spring ping on the banana split switches, and this did a good job nullifying the ping. I just applied a tiny bit of lube to a fine paint brush, then i fed the tip of the brush through the spiral of the switch spring. Additinally, i lubed the side rails of the switch. Not much more needed. I also have used krytox 205 in the past to lube the VERY scratchy Cherry silent Pink switches, and it did a great job of eliminating the scratchiness. Whether you're new to the hobby or a veteran, you can't go wrong with what has been and will continue to be the gold standard for keyboard lubing needs. Read more

This lubricant works well for mechanical keyboard switches and you do get a lot of it. It's not the same as Krytox just to be clear, but it does work fairly well and makes switches feel much smoother. I would personally mix in a bit of lubricating oil to make it smoother but it otherwise is fine to use out of the box. Overall, this lubricant is good and gets the job done, but it is in no way the same as genuine Krytox. Read more

Packaged in its own third party container, I can only speculate, but this appears to be genuine Krytox likely repackaged from a bulk supply. I ordered this to grease a Logitech keyboard with Romer-G switches, which has grown distasteful after my journey into higher end keyboards. This Krytox does appear to work, although the results are not as big as I had hoped for Rimer-G style switches. If you are familiar with higher end keyboards and use Krytox, this is the same stuff you know. If you are new to mechanical keyboards, do not expect massive results. The listing says there is enough for 240 switches (which would be two full size keyboards), but I do not believe that all. Maybe two 66% keyboards or one full size keyboard is what you can reasonably expect from this quantity. Overall the value here is on par with the market and this quantity is cheaper than buying a tube of Krytox. Read more

Tested this on various switches and worked just as well as different brands that I've tried like Krytox. If you only plan on doing a couple keyboards, than this would be the perfect amount for making your mechanical switches smoother. Read more
