Hi Guys

Coming soon to OcUK we have our new OcUK Tech Labs rubber O-Rings for all Cherry MX mechanical keyboards.

These O-Rings are a result of months of testing different hardnesses and sizes of O-Ring to get a product which we were happy to put our name on.

I am currently using these on my Corsair K60 at work and they are fantastic to type on, you soon forget that they are on the board. So much so that when I typed on my filco board recently it was actually rather unpleasant.

The Pack comes with 125 O-Rings in it which is enough to deck out a full size keyboard with dampeners.

This has been a product I have been asked for in the customer service forum for months and I am glad that we have finally been able to bring our own brand to the market.

As such, we are offering a huge discount for all pre orders of these packs.

The price will be rising back up once the stock arrives which should be some time next week.



OcUK Tech Labs Noise Dampening O-Rings for Cherry MX Keyboards - 125 pieces @ £4.99 inc VAT

After months of testing various products, we finally found an O-Ring size that provided perfect feedback whilst doing an effective job at damping switch noise.

Mechanical keyboards are amazing and with the gaming market becoming more geared up for using mechanical boards, OcUK has taken note of the increasing demand to reduce the only downside of Mechanical Keyboard use. Noise.

These O-Rings are designed to be rolled onto the stalks of the underside of Cherry MX mechanical keyboards. Each O-Ring serves as a damper for the key by reducing the 'throw' of each switch as well as softening the 'bottoming out' noise when a mechanical switch comes to the end of its 'throw'.

Whilst not removing all noise entirely, many of our testers have stated that it reduces noise and clatter from the keyboard as well as giving a softer and more pleasant typing experience.

Compatible with any Cherry MX Switch based mechanical keyboard.

Hi Guys

due to the massive success of this product we have worked to meet demands of customers by offering two other skus in this range.

The blue versions are a slightly harder rubber which gives a stiffer key press and feels a little firmer when typing. perfect for reducing key travel but keeping typing feedback similar to stock.

the clear versions are the same sort of spec as the black versions but are obviously a different colour. ideal for using with clear keycaps and LEDs

i like the idea of a mechanical keyboard, but not the noise associated with them :(

that is exactly what these are designed to reduce :)

so these just prevent bottoming out?

correct. they also reduce the throw of each key which is ideal because when typing for long periods of time it reduces fatigue.

I must say as well after using my board at home this week [not used my keyboard for over three months as its been in storage] using the board at work with the o rings has actually made my typing lighter and i am not bottoming out hardly any key presses.
 
maybe in the future, but its not something that a customer cant do really.

i have also updated the product description in the op with more accurate measurements and included more info about the rubber hardness etc
 
still waiting for them to land. if this product is holding up an order, put a post in the CS section and 5UB will split your order.
 
the rest are due any day. there was a shipping error which caused only 3 units to turn up. i have the rest on a priority order to avoid further delay.
