Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these Cherry MX O-ring dampeners compatible with all Cherry MX switches?
A: Yes! These silicone rubber O-ring dampeners are designed to fit all standard Cherry MX switches, including MX Red, MX Blue, MX Brown, MX Black, and MX Speed variants. They seat onto the keycap stem and absorb the bottom-out impact, noticeably quieting your keystrokes.
Q: How many O-ring dampeners are included in one set?
A: Each set contains 120 white silicone O-ring dampeners — enough to cover a full-size 104-key keyboard with a generous number of spares for future use or replacement.
Q: Will these O-rings change my keyboard's typing feel or actuation?
A: Yes, slightly. The O-rings reduce the total travel distance of each key press at the bottom-out point (by approximately 0.20 in / 0.5 cm), which gives each keystroke a softer landing. Actuation force and the point where the switch registers remain unchanged — only the bottom-out feel is cushioned.
Q: Are the dampeners easy to install?
A: Absolutely. Simply remove your keycaps with a keycap puller, slide one O-ring onto each keycap stem, and reattach your keycaps. The whole process typically takes under 15 minutes and requires no special tools beyond a standard keycap puller.
