King Mod Cherry MX Switches Silencer

These high-quality mini donuts may look like small, almost transparent gummy fruit products, but they are not suitable for consumption. Instead, they serve a much better purpose as dampening elements under the keycaps of mechanical keyboards with Cherry MX switches. The rings offered here are transparent, making them a safe choice for all owners of backlit keyboards, as the lighting is better directed into the keycaps.

Who doesn't know it? When you press a key on the keyboard all the way down, the characteristic click sound occurs. This happens quite often in everyday typing. Therefore, soft O-rings made of rubber or silicone are in high demand for popular mechanical keyboards to reduce the noise generated while typing.

These durable noise dampener rings are placed on the base of each keycap and cushion the keystroke, preventing the mechanical switch from colliding with the switch housing. This slightly reduces the maximum key travel of the Cherry MX switches. Overall, this results in a consistently uniform, quieter keystroke sound, and the cushioning helps reduce fatigue during longer typing sessions.

During installation, it is necessary to remove each individual keycap (which is what they are designed for). Then, the base of each key is fitted with one of the O-rings, and the keycap is finally put back on. By applying gentle pressure on the keys, the rings are secured in place. The noise dampeners are compatible with most keyboards featuring Cherry MX type switches and are made from tear-resistant, low-fatigue material.

This package contains 125 transparent silicone rings with a Shore hardness of 40A.
