Quiet keyboard. Ahhhh, silence!
They work. That's all you need to know!OK, you want more?Fair enough. If you have a mechanical keyboard like this one, you will know it's very noisy. In fact you can probably hear me typing now...Solution? This kit. You use the supplied tools to lift each key off (one at a time or you are gong to have a nightmare putting them all back in the right place), and put one of these rings around the circular post in the middle of each key. Now, the key doesn't whack hard against the switch mechanism when you type, instead it is cushioned by the rubber ring. So much quieter. Depending on the keyboard, you might find it is better with two o-rings. That's OK, there is about a million in this box. It says 500, but I'm not counting them. There are lots, especially if you drop the box.I've done 3 keyboards so far, plus a spare set of keycaps, and the box looks the same as when I opened it. So yeah, there are plenty in here.To be fair, a box of O-rings won't make the keyboard silent, but it makes it a LOT better. There's even a couple of brushes to dust off your keyboard.At £7.99, this is a decent set for the price. I paid actual money for it rather than getting a free review sample, so that tells you all you need to know.

Wasn't expecting much - pleasantly surprised!!
After reading a few reviews and then testing it on my Cherry MX keys, I can confirm that 2x o-rings on each switch post inside the key cap is the way to go. Deadens the 'clack' by about 75% without losing the feel of the switch. Typing is just as responsive and the feel is still there, these just kill the resonance and make typing much quieter and enjoyable.Took me about 40 mins to do the whole KB. Worth the effort! Highly recommend.

She replied ‘yes that’s much better’…
The media could not be loaded. Quick delivery and came as described.I only got these as my partner does not particularly like the volume of my key strokes. I don’t happen to care.I put on a few keys first so I can hear if it makes a difference, and how it felt.They keys feel softer now, does not effect the use at all, and it’s very slightly quieter on ‘tapping’, pressing (resting finger on key and pressing) (which I didn’t it video) is way quieter!Again I am not bothered at all, I asked my partner does it sound better and with out telling her I started with a key with out the gasket, she replied ‘yes that’s much better’…. So basically I wasted £8 and about 40 mins putting them on!Oh well they do work but don’t expect massive drop in sound if you’re heavy hitter!

Excellent kit.
Recently got my first mechanical keyboard, and even with silent switches, I didn't like the bottoming out sound when typing fast (PC lives in the main living room). Adding 2 of these to the back of every key has turned out to be perfect to just muffle the clacking sound that bit that is needed.The kit itself is brilliant, as there is enough to do several keyboards, or several o-rings on each key of one keyboard, no problems. Comes with a little brush for cleaning and key removal tools, as well as a small box to keep it all in (some kits only have a bag).Very happy with the purchase which has done the job for an ok price.

Good value for money, does the job.
I bought these to quieter my mechanical keyboard and they certainly did. My partner was finding my keyboard noise a but of an irritation and these have helped reduce this. It's not a dramatic change and you do have to get used to the different feeling of the keys, however, they do help reduce the annoyance of the tap.

Excellent - makes the keyboard much quieter and plusher
Excellent O rings - makes the keyboard much quieter, plusher and more comfortable to type on. Just the right size and level of softness.

Lovely quality and really elastic o-rings
I used them on a Roccat Vulcan Keyboard and it really made the typing experience noticeable better. The keyboard was okay from the beginning, but I found it to be a bit too loud.Using this o-rings it reduced the noise just enough to be noticeable, but without giving any mushy feeling to the typing experience.The o-rings are really elastic, I managed to stretch one approximately 3x its initial diameter (considering the perimeter increase that is proportional with pi, I can say this material is really elastic), not sure if this info will be relevant for anyone, but is good to know.Also, the box has plenty...

Will keep me going for a long time - do they make a difference? Definately on 1.5u and higher keys
I bough an Epomaker TH80 which had an okay sound for most of the keys, but the larger keys - shift, return and space in particular - sounded hollow and cheap compared to the rest of the keyboard.These dampeners made a clear difference for the large keys. I put them on every key, and I'm not sure i can tell the difference on all of them, but the larger keys and the home keys that take the most pounding do sound deeper. New keycaps will make more of an impact, but until I make a decision on which keycaps to use on this keyboard, the dampeners are cheap and easy upgrade.
