Are you looking to upgrade the performance of your keyboard? Pre lubed switches can make a huge difference in how your keyboard feels and reacts. Pre-lubing reduces friction between the switch stem and housing, resulting in smoother keystrokes that feel more responsive than ever before.
Pre-lubing also provides increased protection against dust, dirt, and other contaminants that can cause wear over time. In this blog post, we’ll discuss why pre lubed switches are so beneficial for keyboards and give you some tips on choosing the right ones for your specific needs. Read on to discover the difference pre-lubed switches can make!

Factors To Consider When Choosing Pre Lubed Switches
Choosing the right pre-lubed switch for your application can be a complicated process. It is important to consider the many factors that can determine a switch’s ability to perform in any given environment. Such factors include the type of switch, its operating temperature range, its contact material, and more.
Type
The type of switch you choose will depend on the function and purpose of your application. Switches can be divided into three main categories: mechanical, electrical, and optical. Mechanical switches are built to operate with a simple physical action like pressing or turning a knob. Electrical switches use electricity to open or close circuits, while optical switches use light signals for the same purpose.
Operating temperature
The operating temperature range is another important consideration when selecting pre-lubed switches. Some switches may not be able to withstand the temperatures in certain environments, or they may be unable to perform optimally in extreme conditions. Be sure to select a switch that can handle the specific environment it will be used in.
Materials
The material used for contacts and actuators can also play a role in how a switch functions. The contact material selected should be corrosion-resistant, able to withstand extreme temperatures, non-toxic, and environmentally friendly. Actuator materials need to be strong enough to hold up the switch’s operations but not so hard that it erodes the contacts or is too difficult to activate.
Application Requirements
Finally, you should consider the requirements of your application and determine whether or not a pre-lubed switch is right for it. Pre-lubed switches are generally more expensive than non-lubed versions and require regular maintenance, so they may not be suitable for all applications. Make sure to weigh the pros and cons before making your decision.
By considering all of the factors outlined above, you can be sure to choose the right pre-lubed switch for your application. Doing so will ensure that it works efficiently and reliably in any given environment.
