Well I got the O rings today, 9 days shipping, pretty fast from across the ocean I must say, and you can't beat $2.56, sellers on this side of the planet were charging 6 x that amount of the same thing, I couldn't go through with that.
I tried them out on my Filco, I added them to the Home/End island cluster of 6 keys, from my initial tests those keys were like 20 % quieter and had like 20 % less key travel. I don't know if it is worth it, maybe I should try it on the letter keys before jumping to conclusions. What are you guy's opinions when it comes to O rings on Cherry switches?
And why the hell is this forum so dead? Back in the day it used to be the place to go for all things mechanical keyboards. Nowadays I have to go to Mechanical Keyboard reddit if I don't want to talk to a brick wall here.

Sorry missed your earlier comment. When it comes to o rings, it's mainly just a preference thing, I personally don't like it though. I just really like full travel when it comes to my switches. But it's pretty easy to add and remove so it's not a big commitment.
Also the hobby has become way less centralized, a lot of the community is now on the many MANY discords, would like to see more people here but discord is definitely a lot more of a convenient place when it comes to the hobby, so it's understandable why people don't move over to this old forum.

If a stabilizer (like the two on my space bar) don't have a wire, are they still considered and named a stabilizer? I have a ReDragon keyboard and the left shift, space bar, backspace and enter keys all have 3 +
one + in the center that is the switch and one on each side that don't have a wire connecting them like I've seen in videos. I'm wondering the pros and cons of not having the wire connecting the 2 outside +'s together.
Thanks

Hi, I have a question about GM60 Poker, I accidentally put a macro on the keyboard, now when you press 1 button, the entire row is pressed, I flashed VIA, nothing helped... The reset of the keyboard also did not lead to anything, the macro remained, please tell me, maybe there is a combination for a complete reset of the bm60? There is no macro in VIA itself.

I've been waiting for literal years for a rerun of Aerboards' Aegis keyboard, the southpaw 1800 Compact is without a doubt my favorite layout of all time.
Sadly it doesn't seem like that'll ever be run again so I'm forced to try and find an 1800 compact. I know Hineybush did a run of these years ago and when I looked now I see there's a keychron 1800 compact, but I don't like any of the colors available.
Where can I find an 1800 Compact keyboard kit, ideally with a black or dark colored anodized aluminum case and it'd be nice-to-have but not critical at all for it to have a rotary encoder
