I'd like to try lubing the switches on my Matias Mini Quiet Pro. Looking around, the most popular lubes seem to be RO-59 tmKT and the Krytox line. Anyone have experience to suggest which might be better to use? I'm in Korea right now, so I could get the RO-59 pretty easily, but I don't know about the Krytox.

Limmy had a few things to say about RO-59 and Krytox.
The Ed posted the Krytox GPL datasheet, which you might find somewhat interesting.
Then Limmy followed it up again with more praise for GPL 103, which turned into a bit of a discussion with The Ed.
And then a poll was created to see what should be ordered in a group buy. More discussion ensued.
In the end, both RO-59 and Krytox lubes are still in use, so read up on which application method and price you like best.
