Anyone know the size and density of the o rings that ship with the NovaTouch. I have two NTs, and one came without any o rings. I've tried several different kinds, but none seem to match the feel of the rings that shipped with the board. Thanks,
Apart from adding a little bit of weight to the keycaps, I don't see any effect that o-rings might have.Let's not resolve to the "It's a matter of taste." conclusion.

The goal is to mimic the feel of a stock HHKB type-S and using the o rings that ship with the NT get me closer.

There's a reason why dampening pads such as hyperspheres' and HHKB type-s doesn't use orings for dampening their Topre switches. Orings aren't the answer to everything.
