Captain O-Ring - Rubber Oring Keyboard Switch Dampeners Blue [40A-R 0.4mm] Reduction (135 pcs w/ screen cloth)

These pretty much completely dampen the sound of the downstroke on my keyboard as I am no longer bottoming out. I'm a pretty light typist though, so if you are forceful when you type, there might still be an audible sound on the downstroke. Note that these will not do anything to help with the sound of the upstroke. If that is bothering you, your switches (and possibly the way you type) are the culprit, not these orings.I recommend!

I have ordered a bunch of O-rings over the past few weeks to dampen my keycaps, looking for a good set that are the proper thickness and the correct hardness to dampen the sound.These are the ones you want don't buy the cheaper ones in higher quantities, they are too thin and soft to dampen anything.

i was a bit apprehensive after reading some reviews stating that getting o-rings for a keyboard with clicky mx blues was a waste of time, but I tried these anyway. They make a huge difference! My keyboard is by no means silent (or even quiet, really), but it's *far* quieter than it was. The reduced travel is noticeable, so maybe consider the 0.2mm versions if that's a concern.

There were a couple of key caps such as the backspace keycap that didn't have enough space for the whole thickness of the ring, due to the keycap stem being too close the inner wall. However, I was able to stretch the ring out, which allowed me to insert the ring deeper. The ring was stretched many times its size, but survived the process, while still being a soft material.This was my first time trying out these o rings, and I was very happy with it. They add a feeling of mushiess to the typing experience that many complained about, but this doesn't bother me at all.I love them primarily due to the fact that the rings decrease the key travel AFTER the acuation point, which is very helpful for mashing keys during a gameplay.

I prefer this Captain O-ring over:Refaxi 120Pcs Rubber O-Ring Switch Dampeners Dark Red for Cherry MX Keyboard DampersIt is quieter and softer. Expecting 30%-40% noise reduction.
