I must be missing something, why is this a thing? O-rings are dirt cheap and can be bought everywhere. What makes the massdrop desirable over just ordering some normally?
Because of the sizes they have. That's why am asking. I think 1.5mm are like the common size you get everywhere in internet, like WASD blues. Maybe I'm wrong on that.
Don't forget about the hardness either. fohat.digs mentioned he liked them softer and that seems to be the consensus from a lot of people. Those $1 cheap ones often don't advertise their hardness, but are likely anywhere from 50A-70A. The Massdrop ones are listed at 50A. If you want something softer, you'll have to look elsewhere.
If you haven't already, stop by
Lpwl's sub forum. He has some more info on hardness and thickness. The keycaps you want to use will also play a roll. Caps like SignaturePlastics DSA caps don't have the X support beams under them and the o-rings sink down further.
