32 Switches Acrylic Lube Station Tester Opener for Gateron Cherry Invyr TTC DIY Custom Mechanical Keyboard Keycap Switch Puller

This station was a great purchase for me, (a keyboard enthusiast) but if you plan on only lubing one keyboard it is probably not worth it. I would recommend getting something with only the tweezers, lube, stem grabby thingy, possibly O rings, and a brush for a one time use. It took me a while to figure out my system for lubing the switches, and it is worth noting that there is nowhere to store the top switch housings. The lube was good, with no issues or complaints, and all the other tools worked fine and didn’t break. The stem grabber thing is my favorite tool, as it kept my hands clean and held the stems very well. The O rings definitely helped achieve the more muted, creamy sound I was looking for, but they might not be what you want for a thocky sound. The station itself was easy to build, but it had a little flex when placing switches in the middle. I had no issues with the seller and the product arrived on time. This will save me countless hours in the future, and I would recommend for anyone who wants to lube lots of keyboards efficiently. Overall, I am happy with my purchase and would buy again.

**FINAL UPDATE!!** I received another replacement from the seller and the acrylic tray has all holes required for the legs and tray backing! I corresponded with the seller regarding the quality control and recommended they address the issues with their manufacturer and it appears the issues have been addressed! Good kit for beginner keyboard enthusiasts! **UPDATE 2** I recieved the new item and again, everything in the kit is good. The only issue is that the acrylic switch holder is missing 2 holes, 1 for the 4th leg and another to attach the backplate to the area that would hold the legs and stems. The tray is still sturdy with 3 legs and the plate stays on with 3 fasteners so the kit is still functional and if you can drill the missing holes without damaging the product then this is a perfect beginner kit. However I am going to maintain the 5 star review due to the responsiveness of the seller and the fact that the product is still functional and good even with the missing holes. **UPDATE 1** After leaving the below review I was contacted by the seller and surprised by them quickly sending a new item. I will try to update when received so I can actually review the full kit in due form but from the other items in the pack it seems to be a decent beginner set for a new Keyboard enthusiast! ORIGINAL: The acrylic station itself was missing the large hole for the screw leg and the smaller hole to attache the secondary acrylic plate to. In an attempt to drill the holes myself the acrylic snapped. Definitely some quality control issues.

I bought this lubing station to help organize the process of lubing my Tecsee Coral switches for a Drop CTRL high-profile keyboard. I did not use the keyboard brush, Lube, or the O-rings included with this set. THE GOOD: + The station itself is a decent quality plastic with steel legs that were more than sturdy enough for the workload. + The claw grabber, used to hold the stem of switches, was a little stiff but overall did the job I needed it to do. + The switch opener is made of sturdy metal and I had no problem opening every switch I used it for. + The paintbrush was exactly the right size needed for lubing and while a few bristles came loose it did not hinder overall functionality. + I feel like this station helped me process my switches at a rate of 20 every 75 minutes or so. THE BAD: - The tweezers were very helpful when applying film to my switches but warped when pressed pretty lightly. I ended up using one of my wife's tweezers because these eventually got too frustrating and I kept dropping switch films - The thicker switch grabber was sturdy but did not work well in tight spaces like the Drop CTRL high keyboard has so I had to use the 2-in-1 keycap/ switch puller which warped and bent out of alignment every time I needed to use it. I don't know if this was user error but I also frequently lost grip of the keycaps I pulled out with the 2-in-1 puller and had a few switches go flying away when I pulled them out. - The lube included in this set, when compared to Krytox 205g0, is not the best. The lube included in this set felt more oily and thin whereas Kytox 205g0 felt thicker and more greasy. I do think that this lube could be good for bag lubing Springs but I did not have a lot of confidence in it and instead opted for Super Lube 51010 for bag lubing springs. - The rows on the lower right side of the station are meant to hold the top housing of your switches in a row but I found that the top housing of my switches did not sit well in the space and kept falling throughout the process of my lubing, especially if jostled slightly. OVERALL IMPRESSION: I think this station, for all the tools you get, is worth the money you pay for but if you see yourself doing more heavy switch modding, try getting a different switch puller and more reputable lubricants and just hold the top housings of your switches in a separate bowl or small tupperware.

Has everything you can think of needing. Excellent quality on some parts, good enough quality on others. I enjoyed the switch opener, it was great and and certainly very helpful when opening 100+ keys to lube.

This kit worked quite well and was easy to use, the sturdiness of the stand was all right at best alongside assembly is quite easy to do. One keynote was that they did not provide tweezers or a keycap puller as stated was included. But everything else included was easy to use and the provided grease/lubricant is a decent budget lubricant for the price, the kit is not the best but certainly not the worse. Unlike other reviews after these weeks my lubricant has yet to split into two compounds so that's some good news, just make sure to store in a proper temperature environment as any other compound such as itself.
