Now directly available at http://lpwl.bigcartel.com/ in three different sizes : "Thin" = 1.5mm || "Thick" = 2.5mm || "XXL" = 3.0mm.
These "soft" O-rings (in 40A durometer) will :
- Quiet down your keyboard.
- Eliminate almost all of the shock of bottoming out hard plastic to hard plastic.
- Minimize the fatigue in your fingers during long typing and gaming sessions.
If you want to keep a hard landing, you can get some "hard" O-rings (in 60-90A durometer) at a lower price but their noise dampening won't be as good as the soft ones.

But wait, which size is the best for your keyboard ?
Your choice depends on which keycaps you are using and on what effect you are trying to achieve.
1.
• If you are using "Cherry" profile keycaps, the thinnest O-rings should be great.
• If you are using "OEM" profile keycaps, you may want to use some thicker O-rings.
• If you are using DSA keycaps (no cross-bar support), my "XXL" O-rings are specially made for you !
2.
- A thicker O-ring will reduce key travel more than a thinner one.
- The more material the O-ring has (basically the size), the more it can dampen shocks and noise.
- A softer O-ring will make a switch quiet more effectively than a harder one.
This article from KeyChatter.com (https://goo.gl/gqoXdy) will help you identifying your keycaps - but if you are still not sure, it will be my pleasure to answer you as quickly as possible.

On this video, I used :
- a QWERkeys Cherry MX switch tester.
- some transparent keycaps (thick ABS - OEM profile).
- some soft O-rings (Shore 40A silicone).
