So THIS is what my tactiles were missing, keeps the smoothness and the bump, lovely stuff :)

I can now see why this is the go-to lubricant for tactile switches. I had previously lubed a few switches for a tester using 205g0, which made them feel kinda sluggish and/or scratchy (somehow), but 3203 exhibited none of these issues.
It's more forgiving and the viscosity better complements tactile switches, as the resistance in these is expressed with the tactile bump - so the lubricant in this case should focus on removing the scratchiness of the switch and making it as smooth as possible (in the case of linear switches, since there is no resistance to the travel, the use of thicker lubricants such as 205g0 makes sense as it makes the feel fuller and more robust).
10 grams of this should be all you need for at least a couple keyboards - I did a full-sized keyboard with 4 extra keys (Keychron Q6) and it feels like I have enough for another 2-3 boards of that size (this is true assuming you follow the "less is more" principle when lubing, a.k.a. being conservative with how much lubricant you apply so that you don't overlube).
The added 00 brush was a nice bonus - it's not the brush I used myself, but if precision is what you are going for then this should work nicely.
All in all, I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a lubricant for tactile switches.
