Extra lubrication of keyboard switches using Krytox oil/grease lubricants enhances the feel and sound of Cherry MX-like keyboard switches. The downside is it can dry up over time, get contaminated with dust, and actually result in a worse experience. I wasn't planning on ever lubricating the particular custom keyboard ever again, so it's for this reason I considered molybdenum disulfide, a dry lubricant that's been used for Alps keyboard switches. Molybdenum disulfide is used for dust-prone Alps switches because dust contamination will not impact the dry lubricant's performance.
