Well, some of the need for swedging is caused by wear. Most keys are made of nickel silver which is not too hard, and the rods are usually some kind of steel, which is harder. So, the tube part of the key wears.

You can reduce wear two ways that I can think of: play less or oil your keys. OK, three ways: play less and oil your keys.
