What type of lube is used in the Lekker V2s? The Yellows from the same manufacturer have a problem where the Yellow stem discolors the lube which then stains the bottom housing. I would think this is not an issue as long as thicker lube is used or if a different yellow pigment was used in the V2s (the Teal switches don’t have this issue).

Staining isn’t really an issue but that the lube carries the pigment is.

#

Doesn’t happen with the teal version.

i mean i disassembled a few v2 l45s and have not noticed any pigments in the lube or such

#

also no really advanced methods i used. i took 5, opened them, took out the spring and stem and then used a cotton swab to swipe up the lube and see if the cotton swab looks discolored where the lube is

#

is the one you posted new or has it been used in a keyboard already?

I got it a while ago but have never used it. Just sitting in the collection. I have never seen this happening with Krytox so I think it’s because of the oil they used (same stuff used in most of their switches except for the Raw HEs). Hence the question, I think if it’s Kry that’s used in Lekker V2s it’s fine.
