Alternatives to Krytox 205 for Novelkey Creams

Did you order just regular 205 from Amazon? If so you won’t want to use it by itself for switches TBH. The 205 on amazon is 205g2 not 205g0 & they are very different products despite the similar naming. g0 is much more fluid than g2 & is suitable to be used by itself, while g2 is much more viscous & needs to be thinned with 105 oil to achieve a consistency you could use to lube switches.

As far as something you could buy locally that would be a decent 205g0 analog, Superlube is the only thing that comes to mind. Although you’ll have to do your research & search up which one is closest to 205g0. Much like Krytox, Superlube comes in many variations of oil & grease with many different viscosities.
