Great Lube station for the price!
the box it came in with was a little beat up but everything inside was perfectly fine. Satisfied with what I got for the price I paid. This kit is not perfect, but it is great for the price that I paid for it and I feel that it is good for people that are just starting to dip their toe into lubing switches. I will eventually move on to more higher quality station and tools, but for now this kit is great.NOTE:For all other reviewers that say that theirs came in with scratches, look hazy, or does not look like what is on the picture. REMOVE THE FILM FROM THE ACRYLIC PLATE! That's there to protect the acrylic plate from scratches and they are on both sides of the plate. Wear gloves when assembling so you won't have any finger prints when you put it together.

Decent but keep some things in mind when you buy this.
So this is going sound very negative but keep in mind that I still would recommend this as a cheap buy in for the tools you will need to work on your switches. I'm just going to go over my impressions and experiences using the kit.It was my first time working with mechanical keyboard switches so I wanted to be certain I had everything I needed. This tool kit worked well enough but there were enough little issues that really keep me from giving it a higher score.There are absolutely no instructions included for the assembly of the tool kit tray and the tools do not fit anywhere on it. I had to go looking through pictures on this page and others like it to find a fully assembled tray so that I could see how it was supposed to go together and then assemble it like so.Of all the tools the grabber was almost useless because the wire claw pulls too far back so you have to keep it under constant tension while you work lest you accidentally bend a spring. It's fine for the key stem though as that's solid plastic and I had no worry of damage though orienting the cross in the claw was sometimes a pain.I did not once use the needle nose tweezers included with the set or see where it would even be useful.The brushes are of incredibly low quality and want to fray almost immediately. I had to change my brushing technique to wrap around the stem when lubing even though it didn't even call to apply lube to the stem to reinforce the bristles maintaining the brush's shape.Something that isn't so much of a negative but might be a design choice they want to review in the future is the switch puller is a bit too thick to be used on the keyboard when a switch is surrounded by other switches. You have to pull those switches as well as the one you actually want to pull out which can quickly escalate to you having to pull all the switches starting from the closest side. Having the tool taper to the head and/or narrowing the lip of the tool head would probably fix that issue.All that aside the tool tray did give me a very convenient place to place the parts as I had switches open and to line up other switches waiting to be worked on. Add in the metal switch opener and the lube and you've got something of decent value and use that conveniently still fits in the box it shipped in to be easily stored for the next time you need it.

Everything you need
I am really impressed with this set. For the money it has everything you need. I utilized the switch opener and post holder most of all. The brush is just ok. The tip fell off after just a couple of switches. I recommend either pinching it down or get a different brush. Other than that the lube is great and the tray is really nice.

Decent station for lubing switches
Bought the B set ;used it to set up about 90 or so switches. There are more switch holders than there are spring and stem holders. The switch opener worked just fine to open my Gateron switches. The brushes were okay, they were used on the stabilizers. mostly used the stem holder and the keycap puller. The switch puller is slippery though. The acrylic comes with a plastic protective sheet over it, just remove it if it still looks cloudy. all in all it was good.

Pretty poor quality but covers all the bases
Everything is of the lowest quality except for then switch puller, it’s more than decent.Had a minor issue with one of the brushes having folded over bristles in the sheath, I snipped them off.Stem holder is chunky to press, the fingers do not line up well.Keycap puller is the same as the ones KBDFans (awesome quality company with super fast shipping) provide, but mine arrived bent kinda wonky.The build station is very flexible but easy to put together.You get what you pay for, IMO, spend $10 more.

Tremendous value, especially if you get the lube which is hard to find sometimes.
This lubrication station really is the perfect starter kit, it's a great looking kit and the tools provided will hold up over time. I'm a very gentle person so I haven't had any issues with things breaking. The only thing is the slots in the lube station to hold the housing are not the tightest and are not ideal for actually lubing up your switches. The Krytox205g0 is great and is a hard to find item on amazon. The amount provided is more than enough to lube up over 100 switches and it's a high quality and great viscosity lube. It's also tremendous value, considering everything else you get in this kit.The brushes are great, the tool to hold small objects is great, the switch puller isn't the best but it gets the job done as long as you are gentle and sure not to damage your switches.I spent a lot of time trying to find the best starter kit lube station on Amazon. There were a lot of mixed reviews, especially on this kit since people got kits A, B, and C confused. But if you just pay attention to what your kit actually contains then this is definitely the best offer on Amazon. Buy it, go for it!

Great product, be careful about the switch puller
Everything was in the package, and everything worked for me except for the films that I didn't have to use, and the switch pullers.Knocking 2 stars off because of switch pullers. Tried to use it to pull off glorious panda switches and it managed to break off the teeth that secure the switch to the mounting plate for all the switch that I used this puller on. Doesn't really affect how the switch performs for me but obviously, this is bad.The brushes are OK with a couple hairs sticking out. Switch opener worked pretty well and feels nice in hand, its also magnetically snapped together. The station is well made and fits perfectly. Overall great value but be careful about the switch pullers.

No es decepcionante
Todo está buen bien, se siente que los materiales son de buena calidad, lo malo es que el lubricador de Switches como que se corta, es decir, se separa en una clase de aceite y una cosa blanquecina y también se le suelen hacer grumos secos, y después de un tiempo en los Switches como que se seca, pero de ahí en fuera está bien como un producto para empezar en este mundo de los Teclados Personalizados, aunque si tienes oportunidad, yo diría que te compres el que tiene los Films y ahorres para comprar el KrytoxACUALIZACION:El lubricante se seca después de unos meses, haciéndolos arenosos, no les recomiendo comprarlo, me parece que por este precio puedes comprar Krytox, aunque no tendrás todas las herramientas, te las puedes empañar con una brocha

Solid starter set, quality of parts is hit or miss
Decent starter set. Used this to build my first custom mechanical keyboard and all things considered I'm satisfied, though I think for those deep in the hobby will find this set lacking. The brushes feel very cheap and like they'd snap if you pressed on them too tighly, but they get the job done. The lube looks a bit watered down, it looks less thick than the typical Krytox 205go you see most people use, but after lubing over 60 switches I think it still sounds and feels great, though I haven't used other lubes so my impression of this one is limited.Switch opener was great and feels like the sturdiest part of the set. Keycap puller feels a bit flimsy but it's better than the little ones you usually get with keycap and board sets. Switch puller I didn't have any issues with, I actually liked it but I've read some people complain about them. Testing board itself was useful though I didn't use it to it's full potential myself but no complaints there.3.5 stars would be more accurate for me; many components of this set, mainly the brushes and likely the lube, feel a bit cheap, but if you're looking to use this set to build your first custom mechanical keyboard, I do recommend it, as if you're a longtime MK hobbyist you likely wouldn't be looking at this set anyways. It's a decent bargain for the price and it comes with everything you need and it'll get the job done,

Its ok i guess?
i got it and it was kind of shady, I've been into keyboards for a while now and I think that I know what's good lube and what's not, although the lube that came from this was good for stabs if u have any switches that need to be lube i highly recommend original krytox 205G0 and it might be overpriced but it makes a major difference in feel and sound, this lube is kind of watered down and feels less thick than my apex keyboards Krytox 205G0, but if you have a tight budget and its your first build its excellent to learn on, and the entire kit is awesome beside the brushes, they're really cheap, i recommend to go to a hardware store and get contractor grade detailing brushes. beside that everything is fine and from what i have heard there are no more missing parts and if you do have any just claim a refund and send it back you will either get a full money back or a replacement. if you want to know anything else my discord is Kwrtty#6969 add me and shoot me a text ill try to respond :).

Lubed my TECSEE Purple Pandas, and they're great!
See, this is an average switch lubing kit, and it works as intended, but I did end up spilling milk on my keyboard afterwards. I don't know if it was the 205g0 that saved the keys, or the fact that it was a hotswappable keeb and I took it apart immediately after spilling the milk on it... But yeah I spilled milk on it.The lube still works and the keys are nice and creamy. Probably creamier now that there's milk in them.10/10
