Looking at the images before ordering I was honestly expecting a lot more for the cost. If you're just starting out and need an all in one kit, and this is ~$40 go for it I guess. But you'll outgrow if you stick with the hobby and opt to lube more than one set of switches for a build.
Good for batch working of keys at a reasonable pace without needing to lay down a bunch of towels for each part. Provided separator was good enough. If you're only lubing a few times, this may or may not be worth it, but I'm much more likely to lube a set of switches than not now that I have this.
It doesn't come with much outside of its stated features but if you need a no nonsense kind of lube station this is the one. It makes organising and lubing the switches easy but can't say that it's anything amazing or very high quality. For the price it gets the job done
Quality of the product is ok.l, nothing to brag about. Switch holder is not consistent across holes some fotnlosely and other tight. If you can spend more for a better quality one do it
What an interesting product. It is very functional and useful and I quite like it. However, the acrylic base of the product came with an enormous sticker from the factory slapped on it and the amount of time I am going to spend getting rid of the residue on this thing knocks it down quite a bit.
Honestly for the money, it's okay. I enjoy the brushes but they don't come with protective sleeves for the tips, so I'm forced to store them in the box they came in, so that the brush heads don't get messed up. The disassembled plastic keycap holder leaves much to be desired, when I could easily order this same set with an aluminum holder from half a dozen other sites. The switch opener is about the same, not bad, just not great. The tweezers are usable, if not underwhelming in terms of quality (pretty thin metal all the way through). Everything is just okay. If Drop were to offer a higher quality set for $70-$80, I would much rather purchase that set than this set. But, for the time being, it's usable.
Perfect for Lubing Switches in volume and organization is made easy.
It is self-explanatory what the product does, and it did that. It's great for organizing a lubing station and has all the necessary tools. If it could improve anywhere, the tweezers are sub-par. The tweezers are too flexible from the joint where the arms meet to the end, and mine in my kit were bent out of the box. The tips didn't meet when closing them, but they are flexible enough to bend them back into position by hand. On multiple occasions, if you squeezed the tweezers too hard, the piece you were trying to grab would be ejected from the tips due to the arms being too flexible. They were "good enough" for placing foams onto my board for a stabilizer install, but I would not rely on them for much more than that. They would need to have more rigidity like a the Drop Switch puller to be functional.
All in all great product package, tweezers need an upgrade.
