The grease every lubing guide starts with, sold by two of the shops here in small jars decanted from industrial stock. KeebsForAll puts it on linear switches and stabilizers, Mechboards adds Topre and says it will do tactiles too, which is worth reading as a warning: a grease this thick smooths a tactile switch and rounds the bump off in the same pass. Viscosity is blank because neither listing puts a word to it, only relative comparisons to other grades. Price is blank because both shops sell it in more than one size, so no single figure covers a container.
A thicker grease than 205g0, per the only shop here that stocks it, and aimed first at stabilizers. Thicker means smoother, quieter and more muted, which is what a stabilizer wants and more than most switches do, hence the shop's own instruction not to overlube switches with it. No viscosity word appears on the listing, only that it is the thicker variant of 205g0, so the field is blank. Sold in 3 ml and 5 ml, so there is no single container price to record.
The stabilizer grease, described by both shops in the same terms: peanut butter thick, high viscosity, non-melting. Both sell it decanted by the gram, CannonKeys in 3 g frosted glass jars from an authorized distributor and KeebsForAll in 3 g and 5 g. At this thickness the appeal is damping rather than smoothness, which is why the claims made for it are about rattle rather than feel. Price is blank because the two shops quote different figures for different quantities, and neither is a single container price that stands for the product.
A semifluid grease made by Miller-Stephenson with Switchmod Keyboards and Hunger Work Studio, described by Mechboards as a specialized low thickness lubricant and by KeebsForAll as thinner than 205g0 and thicker than the Krytox oils. That position on the axis is the whole reason it exists: it takes the friction off a tactile switch while leaving the bump and the sound largely where they were, which a thick grease will not do. The two shops disagree on how far a jar goes, roughly 250 switches against roughly 500 for the same 5 ml, so no coverage figure is recorded here. Price is blank because KeebsForAll sells two sizes and the Mechboards figure is not in dollars.
The middle of the range: both shops call it medium or mid thickness, one step up from 3203 and below 205g0. That makes it the usual answer for a tactile switch you want smoother without muting, since a grease this thin damps the housing less and leaves the bump intact. Mechboards credits it to Miller-Stephenson in collaboration with Hunger Work Studio and Switchmod Keyboards, and notes it is a single semifluid grease rather than a blend of two substances, which is why the shelf life is quoted as indefinite. No price is recorded: KeebsForAll lists two sizes and the Mechboards figure is in pounds.
An oil rather than a grease, which both shops say plainly, and which decides what it is for: it spreads on its own, reaches where a brush will not, and does not stay on a sliding surface. Springs are the job both listings agree on, with linears second. Thinner lubricant means less smooth, louder and more defined, so this is not a substitute for a grease on a stem. The viscosity field is blank because neither listing characterizes the thickness in words. The ten dollars is KeebsForAll's price for the single 5 ml dropper bottle they sell it in.
A very low viscosity oil, in the stocking shop's own words, sold for bag lubing springs: a few drops in a bag, shake, and the whole batch is done in minutes instead of one spring at a time. The same listing puts it slightly thicker than GPL 105 and says that makes it usable on housings and stems as well, though an oil on a stem is still the thin end of the axis, less smooth and more defined than any grease. The eleven dollars covers the single 5 ml bottle, the only size listed. No claim about feel or sound appears on the listing, so the effect field is blank.
