O-Rings for Keyboards
O-Rings for Keyboards
Hi Everyone,
I own a Corsair Strafe Keyboard with Cherry MX Red switches and wanted to reduce the noise level since my friend Gf isn’t a gamer and prefers quieter setups. I visited the nearby computer store, which suggested going for a customized build using O-Rings or purchasing a Ducky Keyboard. I’m unsure which option to choose or where to buy it. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
Are you working with this keyboard;

is a good read too.
O-rings do dampen the noise on your keyboard but you will notice it feels mushy. Maybe look into a keyboard that allows you to swap out switches(hotswappable POCB).
That's the keyboard you're using.
I'll read the Reddit link. What do you mean by mushy?
My plan was just to use it on the keys I use for gaming and leave everything else.
When you bottom out the switch with an o-ring, you get the feeling of touching something like a stress ball, soft and mushy. The switch will stop but the keycap gives in a little more through the o-ring so adds a little mushy feel to the key stroke. It is a feel preference so you'll have to give it a try to see how it feels.

on a razor keyboard, it does quite it down but i also use it at work where there is other noise around.
