Filco or Custom Mechanical from USA?!

This is why I was asking, did anyone know of a supplier here in the UK who can provide a full set of "O" ring dampeners, as I don't really want to buy the Majestouch which is available with Black's, when they have available the Majestouch 2 with Blue's. And there both the same price at £120.
Just buy your own O-Rings. Costs like a fiver from eBay. 70 Shore Nitrile Rubber 4MM ID (Inner Diameter) X 2.5mm Section.
They will only help reduce noise from bottoming out and will not reduce volume levels of the switches themselves. Again, O-Ring dampening WILL NOT REDUCE SWITCH NOISE.
I did a quick comparison video on brown switches:

Blacks are fully linear with no tacticle bump for actuation and are generally considered better for FPS gaming.
Blues/Browns have the tactile bump and click noise for actuation. Blues are considered better for typing and browns being the next best compromise while removing much of the noise.
Blues/Browns or any switch with the tactile bump/breakaway are considered superior for RTS/MMOs as repetitive keystrokes (including double taps etc) are far easier to gauge and generally much faster.
I would advise entirely against blacks or linear type switches if you type often unless they suit you and a large percentage of your gaming is FPS titles.
