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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great product for mechanical keyboards

First impressions are that this o-ring set is great and just what I was looking for to quiet down the Corsair K95 RGB mechanical keyboard with cherry switches - 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 sliding the o-ring all the way onto the key shaft and then giving the key a firm push a few 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 towards 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.

Pros
  • Regular price
Cons
  • Not bad
