In previous video I demonstrated "How To Make A Custom Metal Keycap" at home. In this one, I modded my keyboard to produce quieter sound without losing any of its "Clickyness". So using the O-ring is not the perfect solution. So I chose a lazy approach which is going with a "Spray Lube" method. I basically spray lubed my Outemu Blue switches to produce quieter noise. Spray lubing also provided a much smoother pressing feel. But keep in mind that, in the spray lube method I've used a silicone based spray lube. Other spray lube options may damage your keyboard. And no, you cannot use WD-40 :) In addition to spray lubing my keyboard, I've greased the larger keys which have stabilizers. Since they have larger mechanical joints, only spray lubing will not cut it. By doing that they become buttery smooth.

By no means this is the absolute proper way to do things, there are obviously better methods to do it with better materials. However this quick spray lubing process worked properly for me. Keep in mind that, the switch and the keyboard type heavily influence the end result and the process itself. My keyboard is "Motospeed CK101" with Outemu Blue switches.
Also a disclaimer, be aware that your experience may vary and this spray lubing process may ruin your keyboard. Remember, spray lubing is kinda a lazy approach. So act responsibly and take necessary health precautions if you attempt this, such as wearing a mask.
Hope you like the video, it is my second time filming a physical building process. So, sorry for bad cinematography. I am open for any recommendations :)
