Question: O-Ring for Razer Chroma V2 Yellow Switch
« on: Sun, 01 July 2018, 12:47:47 »
Hi guys,

So I recently bought a BlackWidow Chroma V2 with Yellow Switches, I actually bought the orange one as well but returned it cuz the yellows felt a lot smoother. Now I do like the responsiveness of the yellow switches (which are Speed/Silver Cherry switches), but I was wondering if anyone has a suggestion for O-Rings to reduce the travel  by a bit. I know most O-Rings are used to reduce noise but that doesnt bother me too much, although when I buy O-Rings to reduce travel distance, the sound will probably also reduce.

I live in The Netherlands and I have yet to find a Dutch website that sells O-Rings for mechanical keyboards, so I will probably have to import them from somewhere, that why I am asking this, to get it right the first time!

Thank you!

Yeah I thought so. I found a shop that sells O-rings with Blue (A50) and Black (A40). However when I look at other webshops in the USA their Blues are always softer than their Blacks, usually Blue =A40 and Black = A50. Is the webshop making a mistake stating Blue = A50 and Black = A40. Or is the color of the O-rings not a universal standard when measuring Hardness?
