Know before you buy
These rings dampen the sound produced by the upstroke of the keycap hitting the housing. While they effectively reduce noise, thicker rings may slightly reduce total key travel, so choosing the right thickness is key to maintaining your preferred typing feel.
The #2 (0.2mm) ring offers the least travel reduction, while the #7 (0.7mm) provides the maximum sound dampening. If you want a balance between sound reduction and original travel distance, the #5 (0.5mm) is designed to match the original Topre silencing specifications.
These rings are compatible with standard Topre housings, but they are not compatible with Realforce RGB models. Please ensure your keyboard uses standard Topre switches before purchasing.
The integrated PET film layer adds durability to the silencing ring, preventing it from degrading or deforming over time. This ensures the rings maintain their shape and consistent silencing performance through extended use.
Yes, each bag contains 120 pieces, which is sufficient to silence a full-sized 104-key Topre keyboard with extra rings left over for replacements.
