Title: Logitech G710+ Orings?
Post by: Abn on Mon, 30 December 2013, 02:36:09

So I love the o-rings on the g710+ but don't know what thickness they are. Does anyone know, and where I can get them?



Thanks.

Ya they have 2, I would want the ones on the G710+ if i knew what thickness they were. I have heard they are 0.1mm but can't confirm.

Dude... 0.1mm is really thin. Pretty sure those are a bit thicker.

That looks like 1mm to me, not 0.1 (and that's assuming it's to scale, since it seems to be on a monitor and not an actual ruler).

That's just over 0.1cm not 0.1mm.  Look at the units on the ruler.  Looks ~0.15cm or ~1.5mm.

You can use black McMaster-Carr o-rings sold at Amazon:

They are a pretty good balance at soft bottoming out and not a dramatic amount of travel reduction.  Some people like even harder varieties like 70A.

Abn, I didn't mean to be malicious or anything... it's quite the Internet-Kodak-moment for you to confuse mm with cm... 

I've confused for myself, Khz and hz  and  numerous other units... like nano with micro,
