O-rings
« on: Tue, 30 April 2013, 05:53:36 »
OK, so I want some o-rings for my Filco MJ2 MX Browns to reduce the noise a bit but not the typing feel. Where is the cheapest place for me to get them? With me ordering from the UK, the WASD ones would cost me £15, but I'm not sure if I can get them any cheaper?

Amazon, McMasterCarr, and your local orthodontist's office might work. :D

Got some on amazon for little less than 2$ for a bag of 100. They are 70A and do not change the feeling type that much, but it is more quiet and a little smoother indeed.

I'm not really sure what to look for on Amazon UK or whether to just get the WASD ones (Looking at the 40A-L).

Don't know if it would help you in the UK or not but I noticed yesterday WASD has them in their Ebay store also.

Imsto also offers them. I think his prices are better than some of the options mentioned, but I am not sure how much you would be charged for shipping since they would be shipped from outside the US.

McMaster-Carr and other industrial suppliers usually sell very hard rings in the 70-90 range.

I like them as soft as possible, 40-50.

Imsto charges about $3 per set with $10 shipping to US for 1 or more sets. Buy several and save!
