Title: O rings for mx blues
Post by: Raddam on Fri, 13 June 2014, 14:57:26
What is the best o ring you can get for cherry mx blues that have the least amount of travel reduction, reduce the bottoming out sound and don't make the keys feel mushy? I found one type but I don't know if is is the best option or not? http://www.amazon.com/Cherry-Rubber-O-Ring-Switch-Dampeners/dp/B00AZQ3966/ref=pd_cp_pc_0

Thanks in Advanced!

These (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HPQQLXM) are at least as thin.

O-rings on MX blues will dampen the sounds from bottoming out, but will not affect the clickyness at all.

Many people find the high-pitched clicking more annoying than the bottoming out sounds, which is more like a thump thump thump.

I love the clicking noise I just want to get rid of the bottoming out noise  :)
