One of the easiest ways to modify the feel of your keyboard is to add o-rings around the stem of each keycap. These provide a softer landing for each key, reducing the travel distance and muffling the ‘clack’ sound that happens when you bottom out.
There are a couple of key attributes of each o-ring: thickness and hardness. In general:
- A thicker ring will reduce key travel more than a thinner ring.
- A softer ring will make a switch quiet more effectively than a harder ring.
We’ve recently added three o-ring sets to our store. Each set comes with 125 o-rings, allowing you to outfit a full keyboard and have a few spares left over as well:
