A lot of people were asking me for this type of video, so here it is! I hope this serves useful to people! Remember that this is just my way of doing things and there are plenty of different ways to go about things.
As a note, I've only tried this with screw-in and clip-in stabs - please also do modding of your keyboards at your own risk. Thanks!

I have a hunch these tips would work just as well with a plate mount, just inferring from the fact that you're just lubing the stem and wire holder areas of the stab.

IK this is old so sorry to necro the thread but I don't think it's possible to do, considering the bandaid has to go underneath the stab housing.

Did this before and ended up getting a little bit of lube on my PCB. Does this happen often when you do it? Or are you generally just light enough in the first lubing process to avoid that? Wondering if lube on the pcb is something to worry about as well lol

Thanks a lot! Can you imagine, I bought a brand new Ducky Shine 7 as my first mechanical keyboard, going for that "premious quality" and spacebar sounds like garbage? I can't disasseble it, because that would void the warranty and I don't have the skills andmy local dealer apparently doesn't take "it sounds unbearable" as a case for warranty repairs, so I'll have to try something like this to make it work, so I don't end up throwing away $200 for a keyboard that's painful to use (the metalling ringing of the spacebar drills my ears).

Nice video! However, for the durock v2 stabilizers, overfilling it with lube will result in overflow onto the PCB and result in sluggish returns. This issue is accentuated when injected with permatex.

Oh intresting! Did they change anything in the v2 mold that would cause this? I haven't tried this with v2 yet.
