Review on Enhance Typing Experience: Rosewill Mechanical Keyboard Rubber O-Rings, 120 pcs - RO-100T, O Ring by Brendan Thorpe

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great mechanical keyboard product

First impressions are this o ring set is great and just what I was looking for to make the Corsair K95 RGB mechanical keyboard with cherry switches quieter - 122 Keys. However, single-mount keys are very quiet, which is due to the way my particular keyboard is set up - multi-mount keys like spacebar, enter, return, num 0, etc. are still a bit noisy. This is due to the plastic fasteners on the keyboard itself. All the keys are actually much quieter. To install them I recommend that the o-ring be pushed all the way onto the key shank and then the key must be pushed firmly several times to get the o-ring all the way into the 'closed' position. . This reduces frustration when the O-ring isn't fully depressed and the keys don't register when typing quickly or lightly. I made this mistake at the end of the install and noticed it right away. Repeatedly hard-pressing all keys completely eliminated all unregistered keystrokes. Note for gamers: with keyboards like mine or extra macro keys. 120 O-rings may not be enough depending on your keyboard. I was able to put O-rings on all my keys except 13, so I went with the G6-G18 macro keys to avoid them as I rarely use them. Standard 102 keyboards should match the allocated quantity.
