This is not a product where you are looking for "quality." They are really just cheap, generic, rubber o-rings.  Any outlet that sells keyboards or keyboard supplies will have them and brand is not going to be important.  What is important  is the thickness of the ring because this will determine the length of your keystroke.

They come in several sizes and they are cheap enough where you can buy 2 to make a decision.

There is also hardness because many of the generic ones made for various industrial purposes tend to be quite hard.

I would start with the thinnest and softest ones that you can find.
"We are on the precipice of signing an agreement to advance talks with Iran that preserves the good parts of former President Barack Obama’s Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) while amplifying its flaws.
Mr. Obama came to an agreement that did not involve America’s most precious treasure, the lives and limbs of our soldiers.  The 1.7 billion dollars of frozen Iranian assets released by Obama pales in comparison to the 300 billion being floated as a rebuilding fund.
So far, speculation that Iran will be free in the future to continue its nuclear program is the opposite of Trump’s stated goal for the war and in direct opposition to what Mr. Obama negotiated.

They should be labelled for this purpose or sold by a company dealing with keyboard products and not a thousand pack of some plumbing seal that just happens to fit.  This way at least 1 person before you has deemed them suitable to be a keycap dampener.
