Yo guys I'm writing this because I'm new to the hobby and I've done a mistake on my current build! I've bought some ktt strawberry and they were factory lubed so I socked them in water dried them and then lubed, but now after months of the build they are giving me a lot of problems, so I've bought some C3 tangerine that are factory lubed too and I want to know how you guys deal lubing factory lubed switches?

Thanks in advance for the answers!

Because factory lubed switches aren't always lubed the right way that's why, and I much prefer to do it my self with krytox.

Then the best way would be to remove the factory lube using a solvent, or don't buy pre-lubed switches to begin with. Just rinsing with water won't remove any lubricant.
