I have the HyperX Alloy Elite with Cherry MX Red switches and bought these black OcUK o-rings to help with the noise of the keys bottoming out however most of the time the keys are double or triple pressing but when I take the o-rings off, the keys are fine so I'm wondering what other o-rings should I try?

How have you put the o rings on?
O rings shouldn't be causing double key presses.

I tried pushing the o-rings to the bottom of the stem and tried leaving it on the top of the stem and press the key a few times for it to naturally pushed into position.

You have put them on the key cap side, not the the switch side?
Edit : like it shows on image 3 of the product page you linked.

Yes, I have put them on the key caps.

My experience with o rings also resulted in the occasional keypress being registered more than once. I don't know what the solution would be because i switched to another keyboard and am much happier with it.
I had put a couple of theories here but i'm not convinced they have any basis in fact so i've removed them to avoid confusion.
