Title: Pok3r with a o ring mod comparrison.
Post by: Fredrik on Sat, 18 February 2017, 09:37:45

So I just o-ringed my pok3r the other day, and honestly I dont notice that much of a diffrence, yes ofc you get rid of the clack at the bottom, but I still feel like they are quiet loud.

2 videos here to compare.

I personally see no use for o-rings unless you're intentionally trying to shorten the travel distance on your keys. I've tried them on a few different switches and I absolutely hated the feeling of them.

I have high hopes for Zealencio clips, I think those might be pretty cool.

Yeah I've been watching around for those, but I find the 45'ish dollar price tag a bit much, as I've heard they are for the same purpose as o-ring "Silencing" the keys, and yes, I have to a agree it completely ****s up the feeling of the switches, I've only tried it on blues so far, I also have a keyboard with reds I want to try it on, but I feel like as they already are pretty much silenced they are also just gonna feel destroyed and like a glorified old keyboard.
