I like the sponge and mouspad ideas. I will give them a try as soon as I get my Dells in (I am not going to experiment on the Northgate :P ).

definitely post results here :)
you can even buy neoprene sheets on ebay, and if they are the right thickness all you have to do is cut them into strips with an xacto knife. If they are self adhesive, even better.
How about these self adhesive resonance killing sheets? (looks like made out of neoprene).

Looking at your post on removing Alps switches, Wellington, I think I might be able to put something on the top and bottom of the casing to dampen the impact that way. I might pick up those neoprene sheets and give it a shot. I just need to be careful that I don't cover up the spring holder.

yea, or use those neoprene sheets as a rubber-damper-replacement in the notch on the plunger.

I used to say there is nothing velcro and duct tape cant fix... I might have to add self-adhesive neoprene sheets to that list ;)

You could also try squeezing a flattened o-ring into the gap. It will take some experimenting to find the best size. I think the resulting shape would look similar to the stock rubber dampers.
