Elite Keyboards Soft Landing Pads Vs. O-Rings ?
« on: Tue, 21 March 2017, 09:28:24 »
I'm currently doing my first actual "modifications" on my new keyboard (case painting, lubing etc.)  I really like my cherry blue switches for typing but I only have really had experience with linear switches in my past so I tend to bottom out the keys a lot. What do you guys prefer for noise dampening. If O-rings what thickness and hardness? If landing pads, soft or hard? Thank you :)

i recently tried the soft landing pads. i've also tried o-rings, but i forget which. i was surprised that the soft landing pads had the same effect as o-rings to me. let me explain

i liked how the o-rings cushioned the key from bottoming out, but i hated how it changed the travel of the key, so i got rid of them. it's been so long, i can't remember to compare the feel of the soft landing pads to the o-rings, but they shorten the travel in exactly the same way. i don't like soft landing pads either

I like soft landing pads for MX blue (and probably, by extension, green) only.

All others I like O-rings, and I wish that O-rings were available for all types of switches.

“Any split that is higher than 5%,” the letter states, “will be seen favorably by the RNC and President Trump's campaign and is routinely reported to the highest levels of leadership within both organizations.”"
