Know before you buy
Yes, these dampeners are compatible with most keyboards that use Cherry MX style stems. As long as your keycaps feature the standard cross-shaped mount, these rings will fit securely.
The 70A rating is considered a firm hardness. It provides a distinct, snappy bottom-out sensation that feels more solid than softer dampeners, while still effectively absorbing the impact of each keystroke.
No, these O-rings are made from a clear, translucent silicone material. They are specifically designed to allow light to pass through, ensuring your RGB backlighting remains visible and vibrant.
With a thickness of 2.5mm, these O-rings will noticeably shorten your key travel. This reduction creates a quicker, more responsive feel, which many users prefer for both gaming and rapid typing.
Installation is straightforward but requires patience. You will need to remove each keycap, slide an O-ring onto the stem, and press the keycap back into place; the pack includes 120 rings, which is enough to cover a standard full-sized keyboard.
