What is wrong with Lekker V2 switches? (Scratchy & Overlubed issues)

[robust swallow]

Hey everyone. I recently bought a Wooting V2, but I don't understand what's wrong with the switches. Either they are just awful, or I did something wrong.

I lubed all the Lekker V2s with a mix of 75-80% Krytox 205g0 and 20-25% Krytox GPL 105. I've used this exact method on a lot of keyboards, including the Wooting V1, and it always worked flawlessly—the consistency and sound were perfect. But here, either something went wrong, or the Lekker Tikkens are just terrible...

The main problem is that they sound extremely scratchy and dusty. I was aiming for a clacky or poppy sound, but instead, I got a plastic scraping noise. Some switches turned out fine (not scratchy), but they sound like they're overlubed—there is no crispness at all, they just sound muted and mushy. And then there are some switches that are somehow both scratchy AND overlubed at the same time. Has anyone else experienced this?

You typically don't need to relube most modern switches chances are you have over lubed your switches by adding more lube

Clean off all the live

And use them normally

Steps:
1. Fully disassemble the switch
• Top housing
• Bottom housing
• Stem
• Spring
2. Soak the parts (except springs optional)
• Put plastic parts in alcohol for 5–10 minutes

3.    Brush gently
•    Focus on:
•    Stem rails
•    Housing rails

Don’t scrub aggressively just loosen residue
4. Rinse in fresh alcohol
• Gets rid of leftover film
5. Dry completely
• Air dry 30–60 min minimum
Use isopropyl alcohol like 90%
