LOL srsly, why would anyone want this o.o, I mean, you buy blues cuz you like the noise, right? :P
boob cloudist.
I made some like these for my Alps board with 2mm foam sheets, and the reduced travel was annoying. 1mm thick should be alright.
If this can be putted inside a packet will be an amazing option to buy from outside of USA like the single Keycaps since they will fit into a small packet so it will be cheaper to people outside of USA.
This will definatley be possible. They will be able to fit in the standard fed-ex envelope
I just ordered both sets to try the difference between the soft and the firm ones. I am all about feel of the keys but really like a more quiet key. This could make my close to perfect Filco with the reds pretty near perfect. I know most on this forum love the clicking. I personally am all about the silence and my husband is definitely for silence. Thanks for the heads up. If not for this forum I wouldn't have seen these as really I have stopped searching for anymore keyboards. I'll give some feedback to the group once I have the pads and have used them a bit.
Looks like a good experiment to try along with the dental bands mod.
You could even put them in a standard USPS letter envelope and send em USPS for $0.88 - $2.00
Obviously black is not the better color to use it on a backlit keyboard.
BTW I'm not sure I like the final effect, is something like silencing an Harley Davidson...
Silencing a Harley makes everyone happy but the driver..
Yep I guess backlit are not ment to be silenced, unless you release a 2.0 with a second hole for the LED.
His response - he can't give specifics because they are unable to patent these items.

Just tried to build one.Show Image(http://img638.imageshack.us/img638/1319/silencer.png)
Very effective.

So who ordered both?
Can I get like 2 pieces of each?
I want to see if they can silence that metal vibration sound from the enter key when i smack it down
So the sets come with 120 pads - so being a newbie and never having taken off a key - how many of these pads would I need for a 103 keyboard? Do any keys other than the space bar have multiple switches? Looks like with the 120 I should have extras and will be happy to mail you a couple of each. PM me your address.
We know Cherry switches can be very susceptible to dust.
Really? Do you have any reference to support that claim?
I am curious. As time goes by and the material degrade, will not some of it get into the switch internal mechanism? We know Cherry switches can be very susceptible to dust.
I don't have to give any reference, if you have been here long enough, you'll know that this is common knowledge. But if you insist: http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title=Island:6300
I don't know about susceptibility but I was asking myself the same thing.
This is hardly an evidence. It is a personal opinion of ripster.
Dust, hair or spooge are not even remotely the same.
You are supposed to clean your keyboards occasionally.
I harvested springs from a heavily used old g80 keyboard with cherry blue switches.
When I opened up the switch housing and looked inside, it was almost perfect.
I understand that. My original question was whether the pads would degrade and get into the switches. We don't have hard evidence most of the time, because we are not carrying highly controlled testing processes. Sometimes we think something caused something else on a keyboard, but it would well have been a coincidence. And since we don't have hard evidence, how can we know if these pads won't cause more harm than good? We just cannot know. Only time will tell.
I agree with you on that. I just questioned the "royal we" part of your original assumption.
