If in doubt, use more lube: Wooting's Lekker V2 switches now have tighter tolerances and more of the slippy stuff, insert your own joke here

A still from a YouTube video of someone using a Wooting keyboard with the new Lekker V2 switches, now with more lube!.

If there's one thing that differentiates regular PC users from mechanical keyboard fans, it's a discussion about lube. Y'see, we at PC Gamer have become converts to the benefits of lubed switches in our precious keebs, and we're not the only ones. A good dose of the slippy stuff used to be something you had to do yourself, but now pre-lubed switches have become something we're increasingly used to seeing in modern high-end boards. 

If you're a keyboard connoisseur, a good dose of lube is fast becoming something expected—rather than a luxury extra—as it can lead to a silky smooth action. Yep, it's 2024 folks, and keyboard nerds are the cool kids now. Your time has come.
