This type of question goes in the 'keyboards' section.

You might want to do a google search. In particular, this thread might help you: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=40227

I personally found them to be fairly useless. They made my brown/blue experience worse, but browns are already bad.

Regardless, the only use I have found for them is dampening the clink my aluminum space bar was making on my Poker II. Otherwise, blech. Pass.

Hate them, they alter too much the feeling of the keyboard.

If I had to reduce the noise of a keyboard I'd go for landing pad or trampoline mod.

And for mx blue you won't make the keyboard "silent" just by reducing the bottom out noise, the click will still be there.

No, what you asked there (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=69047.msg1650216#msg1650216) was:

O-rings yes/no?0,2/0,4? Title mostly,and does anyone know if these are 0,2 or 0,4? It says hard but I am not sure cause Greek shops really have no idea on mechs.”

Which is a very confusing ungrammatical question, that I have no idea how to usefully answer. Nonetheless, you got about 5 nice on-topic answers. Not sure how you interpret that as “ignored the question completely”.

Anyway, post whatever you want in the off topic section, but be prepared to get a pile of totally irrelevant joke answers.
