O-Rings - big difference to feel?

[stoofa]

I've been using a Ducky Shine III (Brown Switches) for about a month now and so far am loving it.
I went for brown switches because I game and type and the resistance feels about right - hate having to type on my MS X4 at work.

So the feel and resistance of the Brown switches is perfect, but the "clatter" from mechanical is still taking a little getting used to.

So O-Rings. They would appear to stop the key "bottoming out" and thus reduce the clatter from the keyboard.
But, would they change the feel and resistance of the keys?
If the O-rings would simply reduce the noise and that is all then maybe worth the investment. If they are also likely to change the "whole dynamic" of the brown switches then I think I'll just get used to the clatter

I am in the same position with my MX Reds... but at 6.99 (and a puller if I can find or make one), it is a cheap and reversible purchase.

I bought some O-rings for my corsair k70 with red switches and I really didn't like the feel of the keys with the O-rings on. The sound dampening wasn't great either to be honest but that might be down to the aluminium design of the k70 itself. Not an issue any more though as I've learned to love the clackety clack

I got o-rings on my ducky shine III tkl (red switches)
The feel is a bit different, but only when you bottom out your keystrokes which I try not to do (and fail most of the time ). I think it feels more robust with the o-rings so I'm happy with the change, my gf doesn't like it as much though.
The sound is changed to a softer noise but not actually made all that much quieter.

Same here so I took them off. I've got them in a drawer somewhere go to get round to passing them on.

I was considering them myself for my K70. I do like the clickety clack myself but I am still curious as to the difference in sound.

Is there any other benefit other than sound?

I have them on my K60 and they still go clickety clack .. my k70 i had to RMA back to corsair due to Led failures on a few keys!!, when it comes back ill likely try the O rings on it

Oh and to send the K70 back to corsaircost £20 with royal mail!!!

Oooft...is that to Holland or the states?.

Part of me still wishes I had got the Logitech 710+ purely for the excellent RMA service but I just had to get the K70 for its sheer good looks.
