Mine personally is just lubing the bottom housing and spring only, for tactiles it’s the same though I also lube behind the leaf to prevent pinging.

If they’re pre lubed then I will only lube the bottom housing and spring, but if they’re dry then I will lube everything besides the top housing.

Yeah with a lot of switches becoming prelubed it’s why I switched to the method I do

#

I also tend to be a little heavy handed so it helps from keeping my switches sluggish

If pre lubed, nothing. Otherwise, I lube everything - bottom housing, spring, stem, top housing (only where the stem contacts)

I stopped lubing the top housing because I didn’t notice to much of a difference when comparing between lubed and unlubed top housings. There are exceptions though because if I have creams or mx blacks I will lube the top housings.

I just lube the stems and springs cause I tend to be heavy handed with lube

On linears:

With 205/204I lube the stem sliders and legs. Springs are usually 106 lubed tx

Tactiles:
3203 &204 on bottom housing only. I'll also throw in 106 lubed tx

Films are only used if the top and bottom housings chatter

I tend to do bottom housing, stem, and spring. In regards to stems, I lube the legs if it's linear, but I don't if it's tactile.
