The ones from WASD is made of EPDM, they last longer.
I am selling NBR Nitrile Rubber type.

Shipping here to anywhere is cheap.
I am shipping them untracked, plus due to them being thin and rather light, and that I am using normal envelopes, $1 is good enough.

Here's how a ton of O-rings looks like.

do these shorten the bottom out distance by a noticeable amount? if you have any left, i'll be interested in a pack

kaiserreich · « **Reply #18 on:** Wed, 14 December 2011, 05:19:52 »

Yes, it is noticeable.

Ah! I had thought this was like the ones at EK, where it was basically just a bit mat of squares with circles stamped in em.
This makes more sense.

This is actually dependent on the keycaps. Short stems (like cherry doubleshot keycaps have) are affected noticeably by o-rings. Other keycaps, like the ones on my Poker and Kinesis keyboards not so much, the travel reduction is definitely less than half a milimeter, so it's not easily noticeable.
I just realized these are metric o-rings, 1.5mm thickness! That should be even better than the 008 ones found in the USA (which are closer to 1.6mm).
Great find kaiserreich, where did you source them from ??

kaiserreich · « **Reply #22 on:** Wed, 14 December 2011, 10:13:28 »

China.
Nowadays, everything comes from China, or the islands next to it.

I can get tons of these for dirt cheap. They're really not hard to find (at least not here).

I haven't tried them yet, but I plan to.

Tell that to the Europeans. The CANNOT find any o-rings softer than 70A durometer in Europe. Are you in China too?

Nighted · « **Reply #26 on:** Fri, 16 December 2011, 01:59:49 »

Canada. My neighbour works for a company that supplies parts to mines all over the country.

Mackem · « **Reply #27 on:** Fri, 16 December 2011, 08:30:05 »

Aww I wanted some O-rings, it's pretty hard to find 50A ones in the UK.

kaiserreich · « **Reply #28 on:** Fri, 16 December 2011, 08:34:01 »

I am restocking these. Expect them to be available again after Christmas

Mackem · « **Reply #29 on:** Fri, 16 December 2011, 08:45:12 »

OK, let me know if anyone drops out in the meantime, I only want one set.
