🔇 Silence your keyboard, amplify your focus.
This pack of 120 black clear rubber O-rings is engineered to fit Cherry MX and similar mechanical keyboard switches, providing superior shock absorption and sound dampening. Measuring 0.31" x 0.2", these O-rings reduce finger fatigue and keyboard noise while ensuring airtight sealing for optimal key performance.

Works to Both Dampen Noise and Stabilize Keys
I'm putting these on a Logitech G512SE with the "Clicky" switches - similar to Cherry MX Blues, and note that it's important to get clear o-rings if you have illuminated keys because the o-ring does overlap with the key letter/number cutouts on this specific keyboard. While they don't block the key light, you can see a faint outline and different transparency of the o-ring through the letter cutouts.While the out-of-the-box typing experience was fine, adding these o-rings significantly dampened the "clack" sound of the key plastic bottoming out on the switch housing, to the point where I can only hear the sound of the switch being actuated rather than the combination of both the switch click and the key bottoming out (with the larger keys being the exception). Instead of the usual hollow bouncing of plastic, I now only hear the much quieter click of the key switch on the small keys. It still dampens the large keys (space bar, shift, enter etc.) but it's not as dramatic of a sound difference compared to the small letter keys. Just on the sound dampening front, the o-rings do the job well and are a winner.As noted by another reviewer, due to their thickness (which is about 1.8mm thick) they have roughly halved key travel. If you like your key travel distance, I would stay away from these and find o-rings with a smaller profile. But for me, I've always had an issue with the key travel being too deep so these were perfect. Because of shorter travel, I can really capitalize on the short actuation distance (distance for key press to register), making typing a lot easier, faster, and smoother. On top of all that, the o-rings have fully stabilized the keys whereas before, some of the keys could be tilted or wiggled about depending on the angle the press was coming from and they tended to be very "bouncy" which also has been completely negated by the o-rings.Overall, these o-rings were the perfect thickness to both noticeably quiet down overall typing noise and allow for adequate key travel on my specific keyboard. They also completely stabilized the keys resulting in a much more satisfying, solid, and smoother typing experience. These are a very affordable and necessary mod for any mechanical keyboard.

O-Rings do their job!
I have a RedDragon Horus K618 wireless keyboard w/brown switches, and these O-rings certainly reduced the sound! However the sound is less clicky, more scratchy and the keycaps are slightly higher than before (maybe 0.5mm)...either way, it is a cheap improvement! The keys are slightly mushier now, but overall these O-rings work fine! I would certainly prefer to replace the keyswitches to a quieter switch, but this is a good-enough alternative. There are enough O-rings in the 120 pack for a full-size keyboard, I only have the O-rings placed on the MX switch stem, not the stabilizers, and I've still got plenty O-rings remaining.

Dampens My BlackWidow V3
The media could not be loaded. Didn’t know when I purchased my BlackWidow V3 with green mechanical switches that I might try to play games again with a newborn by my side. The switches are soldered onto the keyboard and I’m not trying to learn how to solder just yet so these are these dampeners are next best thing. I bought two packs and doubled up on each ring as 1 didn’t make much difference. It does the job of dampening my loud keystrokes. In video, F keys do not have dampener while the rest do.Fit/Quality: They fit well but I am removing one star because I feel that some rings were thinner than others? After installing on some keys, they weren’t as dampened as others. I swapped the rings out and they were as dampened as the rest. Out of the 2 packs, less than 10 were swapped out.Feel: I’m not a keyboard snob but I barely notice a difference in feel. My keyboard is just as fun to mash as before.Easy to install, will need a tool like tweezers to remove. Happy with purchase.Note: If you have a light up/backlit keyboard, I would suggest getting the clear ones. I imagine they wouldn’t obscure light as much as the black ones.

MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE. LOVE EM.
It is so incredibly affordable to just put o rings on your key caps. You have nothing to lose. My Epomaker galaxy 100 benefitted greatly from these. Sounds so good, quiet, buttery smooth, but still such a nice thocky sound.

Honestly love these so much, and they work well!
Quality of these are great, easy to use, and they make the switches feel better, they function about the same as always, just overall better feel to it. The noise level thought doesn't change all that well unless you have about 2 or 3 of these on the key. Overall love the product.I would recommend buying atleast 2 of these so that you can do so.

Didn't make my keys quiet on their own
got these so that my keyboard wouldn't be as loud during multiplayer games. Added two rings on each key, basically no change in volume. Adding one more would cause key-presses to not go through.Might work better if I also added a foam backing to the keyboard

put the shhhh on your mechanical keyboard
Works well on my Corsair K70 RGB Pro. Had to double up on the primary keys, but that still left plenty for all the others. Does not interfere with the RGB lighting at all. 5 stars. It reduced the click clack sound massively.
