I picked up a nice example of a vintage Apple Extended Keyboard II. No yellowing, looks very nice, but the key movement feels a little gritty, not smooth. Is there a good fix for this?From my understanding, this has the same style keyswitches as my old Apple IIGS keyboard had, and that one felt smooth

Haven't you heard, yellowing is a thing of the past!

Check this articleout. As I recall there were in fact two different keyswitches used depending on where it was manufactured and both of those were different from the original AEK (at least one of them was). One was much worse than the other.
