WASD O-rings
« on: Tue, 13 November 2012, 19:25:41 »
I just ordered a sampler kit from them and I was wondering if those rings will work on BS and Alps switches too, or are they made specifically for MX switches?

I have tried O-rings on both Alps and buckling springs, and neither worked.

But maybe someone else could succeed where I failed!

PS - I also tried it with orthodontic rubber bands from my daughter's braces, which are even smaller and thinner than most commercial O-rings, and they were still too much.
"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

They're the most effective for mx, but do have a slight effect for ALPS. It's a bit of a stretch to get the over the stems of ALPS switches though. I can't comment on BS switches.

I'm actually surprised no one else tried O-rings on ALPS. But then again, the ALPS market is extremely small.

If you like the o-rings, I have a 104 set that came with my WASD. I don't use them anymore so you can have them if I can borrow your Realforce (if you do buy it) for a week ^___^
