====Dry Lube==== Using a dry lube such as [[RO-59]] or PTFE powder improves the smoothness of the switch by coating the slider and/or upper housing in teflon particles. PTFE powder is inferior to RO-59 as it does not stick/cure to the surface like RO-59 does, causing it to eventually be scraped off with a reduction in smoothness. Typically, the dry lube is applied to the slider and housing with or without a solvent, and allowed to cure if it has a solvent. Attempting to use the switch without allowing the lubricant to cure may result in the lubricant being scraped off.
