Yes, it should work with all the switches. Blues technically have a slightly shorter key travel than the other switches, so if it works with Blue, it will work with the others. Try it out and see if you like the feeling. If not, you can always return the pack that you don't use if you end up going with just one O-ring instead of two.
Actually, the O-rings are 1.5mm tall. There is naturally a gap between the underside of the keycap and the top of the switch. This gap is about 1.3mm. So a 1.5mm O-ring, would reduce the travel by 0.2mm. Adding a O-ring would fully increase the key travel by the full O-ring thickness since the gap is already filled. Hope that helps!
Some keys are not compatible. The Ctrl, Alt, and spacebar are sizes that we don't carry. The Windows and Menu keys are R1 1x1 keys. Also note that our keys do not allow light to shine through for back lighting.
Not with the 40A-R or 50A-R (0.4mm reductions O-rings) as it would make the key travel shorter than the actuation point. It's possible two use two of the 40A-L O-rings together to reduce the key travel by about 1.7mm. This would make the bottom about 0.3mm from the actuation point. I tried it on a key on a MX Blue switch and it still works properly.
Not everyone orders our keyboards with the O-rings. Since it does change your typing experience, we offer it as an option so you can be the final judge of how you want your keyboard to feel.
THANKS FOR THE FEEDBACK WASD... I have one more question though.. why would (2) 40A-L rings add up to 1.7mm since they are only 0.2mm high? Woudn't they just reduce by 0.4mm? Thank you
Thanks for the demo! honestly, I hate how we have to buy these things. I would think everyone would like a softer sounding keyboard, why make them accessories...
I wish one of these videos would show the shift key or any of the larger keys with the stabalizers -___- I got most of them after a lot of effort but I'm sure there's a much easier way.
lift it up like normal and shift it to the side a little that should get one end off and then you just have to shift it the other way. sorry for 5 years later response
I don't think they will. The cherry switch is designed as the switch being male and the cap being female, IIRC ALPs are the other way around. Not saying you can't get dampeners for ALPS switches but these aren't them.
when are you guys going to sell keyboards again? I mean the customizable ones... I need a new keyboard and I want it customized and mechanical and you're the only ones I know who makes good quality customizable mechanical keyboards but your website says ''WE ARE CURRENTLY OUT OF STOCK OF ALL 105-KEY ISO KEYBOARDS'' ... So my question is, when are you guys taking in some keyboards to sell? Because I don't want to buy another mechanical keyboard for about $70 and then keycaps for $60.
i made my own by molding blutac into a ring then sticking that into the key cap, then made a paper washer to go over the blutac so it doesn't stick to switch.
unless someone enjoys puzzles, it would be smarter to take off each key, one by one, starting from the top left, escape key, and put each ring on, then replace and move on to the next key.
if you buy an overpriced board thats on you. theres cheaper boards with identical switches that work just as well. if you dont want a brand name or the fancy macros and shit you dont have to spend more than about 50bux on a good mechanical board. mac is just garbage you have to buy to be a mac user.
Why do these still seem so clicky? I thought there'd be little more than a warm bump sound. Do the keys actually bottom out on the rubber, or does plastic still hit plastic somewhere?
Why should they suit better on blacks than on reds? It's far more likely to bottom out red switches than black ones because of the lacking resistance. Blacks just don't need o-rings as you'll hardly push them all the way down anyway ... IMO o-rings match best to blue switches since there you'll get the best feedback with less annoying sound. Next are clears, as you wrote.
wesome. thanks brother... Would the TWO 40A-L work with MX Black. I assume it would.. but just wanted to make sure. I just ordered a custom keyboard that may have the Cherry MX Blacks on it... So just wanted to know. Thanks!!
Depends on what you want, in an ideal world you'd do both. O-rings will make a bigger impact on quieting your switch, but lube will make them feel smoother.

Fuck now I forgot where all the keys go
Thanks, I was trying to figure out if I should use three dampers on the long keys or not.

Yes, our keycaps fully compatible with the Meka G1.
Also, I saw that on your website that the CM Storm Quickfire Rapid has the spacebar compatibility, is it the same thing as the Quickfire pro?
Can we double stack these on the key to really get a really short keystroke?
Plastic still hits plastic on the reset of the switch.
would this system work with back lit keys? Like will the LED's get in the way of the rings?
Is there anywhere that I could buy the space button? With or without light shining through is alright.
I personally like a very loud, clicky, sound to my keyboards.
I'm trying to figure out if it's as easy to remove them as it is to install them
+Daniel Piurkowsky very easy to install and remove buddy !
+Daniel Piurkowsky They can be a little annoying to take them out.
would it work to double up on 0-rings to further reduce travel? thanks.
Thanks for the demo!
honestly, I hate how we have to buy these things. I would think everyone would like a softer sounding keyboard, why make them accessories...
We don't carry that size spacebar. As far as I know, there no places that carry keys for that size.
sorry.. but just to inquire... how much does shipping cost from you guys to the philippines?
Do any of your keyboards have letters on them?Please Reply Thx
does it make the keys higher?
hi i used all the dampeners on one key and now i can't get the key on what do?
It won't work :) Max is about 3, at some point the travel reduction will be greater than the travel needed to actuate the switch.
@@wasdkeyboards lol
How about the CMStorm Quickfire Pro?
can you make a video of how to change cherrry mx switches?
Thank you for the fast reply! ;)
I wish one of these videos would show the shift key or any of the larger keys with the stabalizers -___- I got most of them after a lot of effort but I'm sure there's a much easier way.

Okay thanks for answering it's nice to know :D
it's all about the souunndzz, mate.
are those 40a?
I don't want a softer sounding keyboard... I love my mechanical keys < 3333
you only need to press mx reds down 2 MM, once you get the hang of it they near silent
I'm just saying they'd be better suited to blacks or clears.
I don't think they will. The cherry switch is designed as the switch being male and the cap being female, IIRC ALPs are the other way around. Not saying you can't get dampeners for ALPS switches but these aren't them.
from one type to another?
We have a separate video on removing the keycaps.
ok
I need this keycaps
when are you guys going to sell keyboards again? I mean the customizable ones... I need a new keyboard and I want it customized and mechanical and you're the only ones I know who makes good quality customizable mechanical keyboards but your website says ''WE ARE CURRENTLY OUT OF STOCK OF ALL 105-KEY ISO KEYBOARDS'' ...

i made my own by molding blutac into a ring then sticking that into the key cap, then made a paper washer to go over the blutac so it doesn't stick to switch.
Would it matter which kind of o-rings do you use?
I think that only matters in terms of traveling reduction of the keycap
If i install th eo ring all the way back in the key it does not dampen the sound even by 1% and sounds the exact same :(
it only dampens the sound when you bottom out the key
That doesn't look tedious at all lol.
You can.
from WASD's site
the best thing in mechanical keyboards is the sound..why would you want to change that
WTF - why would someone like to reduce the epic clicky sound of a keyboad?
Please make a video and show us how to INCREASE the clicky sound!
How do you remove O rings without damaging anything?
...just take them off?
No. The rings are at the top, so when they travel down, the sound, and travel distance is lowered.
the full travel is, but the actuation of it isnt
unless someone enjoys puzzles, it would be smarter to take off each key, one by one, starting from the top left, escape key, and put each ring on, then replace and move on to the next key.
That's one way of doing it :)
nah, some people prefer the clicky noise
Man you have some tiny thumbs... or maybe mine are just fat.
still loud af with the rings lmao
So no difference at all... 10x now I know what not to buy :)
Still loud! won't do much on my husbands annoying mechanical keyboard
It only affects the bottoming out "clack" if you want a quieter keyboard go with a quieter switch, I'd suggest silent reds.
but i thought the whole point to these overpriced keyboards is the loud clickity clack
sometimes i think pc users are just as bad as mac users
with O rings you only get the clickity. not the clack. this is pinnacle of PC levels of control.
if you buy an overpriced board thats on you. theres cheaper boards with identical switches that work just as well. if you dont want a brand name or the fancy macros and shit you dont have to spend more than about 50bux on a good mechanical board. mac is just garbage you have to buy to be a mac user.
I like the mac interface, the screens are nice, etc. otherwise not much else is
if you don't bottom out the keys, there will not be much benefit for the o-ring.
Doubling up the O-rings would reduce the travel too much and would make the switch difficult to press.
I get these for free from my dentist
Yes, you can visit our website to see our full line of products.
Why do these still seem so clicky? I thought there'd be little more than a warm bump sound. Do the keys actually bottom out on the rubber, or does plastic still hit plastic somewhere?
Tell me, are your products also working with Thermaltake Meka G1? Also, is it possible to change caps on it too? Thank you! ;)

wesome. thanks brother... Would the TWO 40A-L work with MX Black. I assume it would.. but just wanted to make sure. I just ordered a custom keyboard that may have the Cherry MX Blacks on it... So just wanted to know. Thanks!!
We will have 105-key versions, along with out of stock switch options, around June.
Seems fair - I suppose I just don't like the price point at 15$. It's a pretty big percentage of the cost of the keyboard alone.
Would you say that they affect the button press feeling in any way? Or is it purely the sound that is modified?
Yes, we were using 40A O-rings in this video.
what does the dampener do?
reduces sound from the keyboard
Red ones are already very light. WHY
Some people live together with others.
Wait so does this make it more quiet?
Yes is dampers the sound of the bottoming out 'clack'
Cherry mx browns...
lube switches or put o rings on them?
Depends on what you want, in an ideal world you'd do both. O-rings will make a bigger impact on quieting your switch, but lube will make them feel smoother.
are you pressing the other one more lightly? lol
