This 3 mL container (about 5 g) is the right size for a first lubing project — generally enough to cover a full board of switches with thin, even coats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThick switch lubricant with a Grade 0 (soft grease) consistency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for linear switch rails, stems, and springs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces scratchiness, spring ping, and hollow case noise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 mL container — approximately 5 g of lubricant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong shelf life when stored sealed at room temperature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the box\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e1 × 3 mL container of Krytox 205g0 switch lubricant (approx. 5 g)\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWorks with all MX-style mechanical switches (Cherry, Gateron, Kailh, and others). It is the classic pairing for linear switches; use it very sparingly on tactile switches, since a thick lube can soften the tactile bump.
