Some might have compatible caps, or a case you could cut apart for a custom PCB project.
There was a thread for those weird pictures.
A serious reply: I've dismantled some vintage rubber domes. Cables are soldered to better keyboards with cut cables (no idea why some idiots cut cables from fully working keyboards). Metal backplates are used in the garden. I gave rubber dome sheets to a friend to make some ghetto o-rings. I've collected leds from controllers for possible future use. I let cleaned keycaps dry on the membrane foils. Plastic cases and keycaps were recycled.
Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that I live in a country that was occupied twice and a part of a world war twice in the last 100 years, and that does NOT have the highest amount of waste per capita in the world. Never throw anything away is still a common mindset around here, and honestly, I was super happy to find out that I hadn't trashed those cables.There was a thread for those weird pictures.

Why bring Metal back plates to the garden when you can bring the garden to the backplate??
serious response: Lol, well depends if you care about recycling or have time to do that. Time used vs potential money made from working. but, i'm sure making those ghetto orings were annoying to cut/measure lol
In accordance to the prophecy, I have disposed of them in the proper way:
1) Build a boat with said rubber dome keyboards
2) Wait for your beloved mechanicals to somehow break (operator error, water damage, messed up solder job, etc)
3) Put the mech board into the boat
4) Put boat out to sea
5) Use a bow and arrow to light the boat on fire, ensuring your board will be in Valhalla waiting for you
6) Play appropriate music for a Viking funeral, I like Amon Amarth
I feel like I'm the only person who read the prophecy when I joined Geekhack...

What if the boat does not get on fire?
Thats a good mindset. My family is like that too actually.

Dampeners are easy to make like this, if you have the right tools, and they're basically free then, unlike imported dampeners for Cherry MX with $15 shipping.
