brb gonna spray lube my keycult

Thank you for your dedication and research! I will share this and how to fix video links to my spray lubing videos! Your intro, way of explanation, even the song are awesome :3

This video actually thought me a lot more about spray lubing than i needed to know xD. its interesting how a fake formula turns out better for the keyboard scene. With that in mind i’m gonna unlink the spray lube amazon link from my video to prevent any further broken boards! Thanks for doing the research for the community man this video is bomb

I once spray lubed my keyboard. Immediately after setting down the board to dry, I heard a banging on my door... KNOCK KNOCK I turned my head to the origin of the sound. To my surprise, the door that I had closed moments before was agape. How did I not hear my door opening? Its signature creak could probably even bring a hibernating bear out of its slumber. I paced cautiously to my door and peered outside. The dark hallway was empty. I wasn't sure if I was anxious or relieved. Perhaps the knock was in my head. I leaned against the right side of the door frame, bracing the wet hinge. Wet? Why was my door... WET? A slippery clear residue dripped down the side of my door frame. In disgust I flicked the fluid off my hands... Did someone lube my door hinges? I shut my door as I reentered my room. The door glided silently shut... Is that why I didn't hear it opening? My thoughts were left unanswered as the lights in my house all blinked off... Blackouts were unusual this time of the year, but not completely unheard of. Across the street, I could see my neighbors lights still on. I grabbed a nearby flashlight, flicked it on, and made my way to the circuit breaker box. The light barely pierced the deep shadows of the garage. The circuit breaker box was... oozing... pulsating. The same clear fluid pattered out of the edges of the box into a growing puddle on the floor. The strange fluid must have damaged the electronics within the breaker box, causing the blackout. I hesitated for a moment, but found the resolve within myself to pry further. I pulled the sleeve of my sweater over my fingertips and gripped the metal door. Gallons of the clear fluid poured out of the breaker box, saturating my sweater, splashing onto the floor. Out of surprise, I took a step back, unwittingly putting half my weight into the expanding puddle. My legs flew forward, and my head flew back, striking the cold concrete of the garage floor. I awoke to a droplet of the ichor striking my forehead. My eyes drifted up to the rafters. Two large eyes glared back down towards me through the darkness. A long grey cylindrical body stretched between the rafters. Two muscular arms stemmed from the demon's torso, fists planted on what I assumed were its hips. It smiled. It drooled.

what if the spray lube chooses you?

Not gonna lie, when the channel was text only with a toy hippo I only watched a couple vids if they ended up in my recommendations. Thought it was too much like :3ildcat. Now that you're putting more and more personality into the vids and refining your craft, I watch them all. Good work, it does not go unnoticed.

POV: you used Vaseline on your stabs and WD 40 on your outemu blues

This brought back old memories from local community here Basically, someone really advocate to spray lube your keyboards and said that "brush lube is shit and waste of time, spray lube is the future" or something like that But then some ppl reported issues with their boards after spray lubed their boards and that guy just disappeared entirely lmao

If anyone is still considering spray lubing after watching this video, here's a much safer way to do it: Spray a bunch of that superlube into a container. Get a pippete dropper, the disposable ones will do. Apply one drop and then mash the switch to work it around the spring. Apply more as required but in my experience one is all you need, two is too much, three is ruined. Let it sit there for an hour or two. Then flip it around and let it sit there for another hour or two.

imagine something just working because you use a counterfeit product

This is gonna be one of the best vids

I love the style of editing you do in this video. And just the whole video style in general!

Instead of literally spraylubing i've applied a drop of ISO 100-150 super lube with a fine brush or a thin syringe to the east and west sides of a switch while depressing the stem and it seems like a much cleaner and safer method because you can actually control how much oil you're distributing in each switch. results still aren't as good as traditional lubing but it's much safer for a soldered board if you wanna risk it

Imagine lubing 100 switches for 6 hours without a switch opener and no bag lube (opening switch with another switch's top housing, manually lubing spring) because im stupid and impatient and though ah all those youtuber said lubing switches only took 3 hour, it is an escape from reality, it was easy! but still in the end i chose better method over spray lube

Hipyo's channel really has gone to a new level 😂 Hoping for more collabs with :3ildcat soon!

Had to show my brother this because we were arguing about spray lubing 😂

I thought the problems with spray lube were more well known than they actually are, but I'm glad this video exists so more people know about them!

this song gonna stuck in my head for weeks... thanks Hipyo

imma be COMPLETELY honest i thought the video wasnt gonna be that good and just a short low effort video on why you shouldnt spray lube... this is amazing

Wow,your vid is really cool!The idea you expressed in songs is so interesting. Thank you for your in-depth research.

Thanks for the informative and funny video. As a beginner with mechanical keyboards, I haven't been following a channel for long, but the informative nature and humor make the knowledge imparted much more enjoyable. Thank you for that and keep it up.

The keyboard community is so strong on RU-vid, love to see it. Great vid!

Yo this video is hilarious, and informative. One of the best. Editing was on point!!

Hipyo tech is what this community needed all this time

I wasn't expecting such a great and creative video that in the end becomes a musical. You're awsome.

I have watched your videos here and there, but today, you've sold me. Good work man.

That background track should definitely be in your intro/outros from now on. Actually fire lol

I love these kind of videos so much hippyo if you see this please do more it was amazing!

this is legit the best vid you made man.

This is hilarious, I just watched this other youtuber and you put in a long comment talking about spray lubing and the consequences, and then two videos down I see your video. Amazing

I love the research you did here, also I have spray lubed before, and it was a hot swap board and I removed the switches. Plus they were cheap kailh switches, but I feel as if the lube crusted up / dried up after a couple of months. I then ended removing the lube and brush lubing it. I used a mixture of SuperLube PTFE oil and PTFE SuperLube grease; Cheaper than Krytox and works.

I didn't know it was possible for a video about spray lubing mechanical keyboard switches to be this entertaining.

This channel is so underrated and this is my favorite video yet. Love the editing.

The song slaps hard. When are you dropping your mixtape?

damn you love to see the creative effort comin thru

I thought about spraylubing once but in the end I chose a safer way of lubing without desoldering. Pushing down the stem of the switch with angled tweezers and lubing inside with a flat pencilbrush. I lubed the stabilizers lifting up the stems and reaching the metal clips with one of those thin interdental toothbrush. Maybe its not as good as a proper lube but the end result is totally worth it if desoldering is not an option.

love the new video style hipyo

This is easily my favorite video of yours!

im already loving it just based on the thumbnail

This was so great! Kudos to you for that amazing ending haha!

Can’t wait to see it :)

Now this is some HIGH EFFORT content

The song is legendary holy cow!

If youre going to use any spray lube i'd recommend Caig DeOxIt F5 (NOT D!) or the F100 needle lube. It is specifically made not to damage plastics or electronics and not to attract dust, and is used throughout aerospace and high end audio. From what i can gather it is lithium grease based with naptha and a chlorocarbon as solvents that evaporate fully.

The effort on this vid 👍👍

bin looking at your channel it came up true the algorithm.. and my reaction is .. finally something good ahhaa ... i subscribed .. bin watching a couple of your vids good job mate.. greetings from The Netherlands..

Did not expect that at all. Made my day

this is probably the BEST most useful mech video I've seen on youtube.

“But first I want to thank my sponsor” CC: hippie attack

You know you have expensive hobbies/interests when you're watching a video about custom keyboards and can also perfectly identify the bottles of fragrance on the shelf in the background.

I thought the song was going to make me cringe, but it was surprisingly super catchy! Especially the chorus lol. Nice work Hipyo.

man, this is a step up in editing, nice!

spray lube go brrr

One question... if you take the switches off and then spraylube, would it still destroy your board if you first Apply the switches when they are dry? I wanna lube my razer huntsman mini, and it cant be brushlubed...

Watching this after I spray lubed the kb that I'm using currently hurts lol. I'll be building my own kb in 2 months tho.

Your "rap" is dope😂

As someone who doesn’t have access to a solder, what would be a good option for lubing a keyboard. Spray was never an option for me so I’ve seen people brush in krytox so thought about doing that. Any videos or ideas for a newbie?

Would this still work without your switches on the board? Like a hot swap keyboard that you took the switches out and did it carefully?

I have a question. Since I'm just getting into Moding Keyboards, I want to lube my Optical Switches of my Razer Huntsman Elite. But I heard, If you want to lube it, you should spray lube, cause when you're gonna open up the Optical Switches you gonna break them. I don't know if this is right or not, cause Spray Lubing might also break it. So should I take the risk with Spray Lubing or is it possible to open up the Optical Switches without breaking them?

I was doing little research to see if this spraying method was worth trying on my keychron keyboards, and stumbled upon infomation that ptfe variant of super lube spray does have metal ball in it, makes the clanky noise as shown in wildcats' video. Was wondering if you have tested with that particular product? From what I could dig up it is pretty safe product to use for this purpose.

This video is on another level

if theyre hot swappable, can i take the switches out and spray lube them? if the issue is damaging the PCB, then removing them would fix that issue. they would also dry faster if you leave them out of the board.

I spray lubed once and my spacebar switch wouldn't depress normally rendering it unusable. Do not spray lube, friends. Not unless you are prepared to desolder and resolder a new switch on.

I missed the premiere cause i was in a cyber security competition, but its so good!

real ones are sitting in the chat waiting for the video to start

any thoughts on ghetto lubing! like using a bit of krytox105 along the sides of the switch

what if I have my switches not in my board but no normal lube, is spray lubing only a problem when you have the switches installed or regardless of their state?

THIS IS ACTUAL FIRE💥💥

I love everything about this video

What about brush lubing using krytox, but without desoldering? Only seen this method for cherry switches because of the switch design, seems to work without any issues down the line

quick question. if you remove the key caps from the keyboard then let it dry would it still work?

judging by the thumbnail I think he's going to say that the keyboard will be ruined UNLESS you spray lube.

Intro is as good as glarses’! The vid is another level!

I'm going to love this video so much

Fantastic video

My keyboard is Hotswap, if I remove the switches will I have problems or is it only when you use spray lube on a soldered keyboard?

Man thank you so much for this video! You saved me from a terrible purchase that probably could have broken my keyboard.

so, the korean lube can't be transported to US because it would have to partially travel by water, right? does it mean that it is possible to get the korean spray lube in europe? honestly i am not planning on using it, but i am curious and maybe i would give it a try in the future

I spraylubed with no issues on my first board. Worked great but it's very inconsistent switch to switch. Most people use super lube. Probably best to use bike chain PTFE "dry lube" it's basically ptfe powder and alcohol. When the alcohol evaporates. You're left with only PTFE. Make for a super smooth option for those that don't want to desolder. My guess is the super lube spray can coat the backside contact leaves. Spray lubing opticals won't hurt anything unless you block the laser sensor, which can happen anyways if you are heavy handed with the lubes.

This is still my favorite Hypyo Tech Video

im thinking about spray lubing my brand new rog falchion with red cherry mx switches, basically cuz i dont like the sound and the amount of strenght i need to use to activate the keys, you guys think its a bad idea?

Hey also what if it just that ur spraying too much loobe and so it gets stuck on the contact so what if u put a time or limit or something like that so u only spray a little bit not enough to cover the contact and make it stop working

Great to know I dodged a bullet. I got my RK61 (With RK's red switches) a while back, and I was considering on how to lube the switches. As I had no soldering equipment and no budget for it. As usual there was a lot of spray lube talk, but finding a can of spray lube here was rare and your video on the Pewdiepie keyboard was a real warning. I just settled on the "Push Stem lube" method with a brush and taking my sweet time. After a few months of use the board still works fine. Looking forward to getting soldering gear so I can put it some better, properly lubed switches.

I use a lube called tri flow at work a lot, it uses a ball bearing in the can to mix it up and leaves no residue (on locks at the very least) so it may be worth trying for keyboards

I’m actually subscribed because of the conversation we had in the squashyboy video about this! thanks for advice btw, I just got regular lube.

Great video!

Dear Hipyo! Thansk for the video, I have a doubt. What if you spray lube the switch out of the board ? Do you think it will affect the board in the long-run?

Can i take my gateron black switches out of my board and spray lube them without problems? There are no pcbs in the switches

Can spray lubing work properly if you take the switches off the board (hot-swap) and then lube it? Or is it the process itself that breaks the key.

DIY song in the end is dope🔥

Can you use spray lube when u only have the switches and stabs connected to the plate (no PCB or case)

Wow... this is some proper innovation in the mech keyboard space. Keep up the good work man!

How can you lube without desoldering as I don't want to screw my G915 linear board as I don't know how to solder.

okay but what if you take the switches out of the hot swap sockets and then spray lube them, wait for them to dry, and put them back in the board

Loved the video

the thumbnail looks really promising

I can't wait to hand lube my sk64 :>, not really I wanted to spray lube it and when doing research on good spray lubes this came up. whew, thank you hipyo!

I really wanted this to work bc my handwired build with gat yellows could really benefit from some lubing
