This is going to seem like kind of a strange question, given how mechanical keyboards are (rightfully) all the rage right now.But does anyone have any advice for fixing a rubber dome keyboard with badly binding keys?I cleaned everything, and that made it much worse, and I tried fader lube, which seems to have made it even worse yet.

@OpenComputeDesign What are they binding on? Don't the keys just sit on the dome?

@Ethanol6 The plastics stems of the keycaps bind on the shaft they slide down.

@OpenComputeDesign oh yeah, right. Graphite lube perhaps.

@OpenComputeDesign Some of them are powder and some are a spray on. The spray on type adheres once it dries so it might be better than the pure powder type. You can always scrub a pencil all over the parts and see if it helps before committing to a whole can of the stuff.
