Soft Landing

So I couldn't take bottoming out on my new TE board. I simply was not used to a mech keyboard. Switching between scissor switch keyboards regularly was not helping. So I went to WASD Keyboards and picked up a set of 40a o-rings to soften the blow. I love them already. Not only is it more comfortable, but it's also much quiter.

While I was there I couldn't;t resist getting a new escape key... of course.

Photos and more details below on a G+ post I did.

Good choice those pink o-rings. Easy to find if you drop one between the keys on a black keyboard too!
I put o-rings on ALL keyboards that I use regularly, and I had been using a mechanical keyboard for years before I found about dampening methods.
