So in the long run I would like to lube my switches.  I intend to order some krytox but it seems to be either hard to find and/or very expensive when I find it (Canada, Québec, currency, shipping and taxes ...).  Here I have those 2 products that I think could do the trick but I don't want to damage the plastic of the switch as some grease an oil can alter or melt some kind of plastic with prolonged exposure.  So would those be ok to lube switches without damaging anything while I wait for some krytox to arrive.

I think I’ve used 3in1 on plastics before and they were fine, but I don’t remember trying it for very long or paying much attention to it. Typically silicone based oils are safe on plastics, I’d see if I could find a silicone grease for switch lubing.
