————-
Not long after buying my CODE keyboard, I started
looking for O-rings in order to obtain the lowest possible
price while ensuring that they have adequate
characteristics. I was able to test some O-rings of
different thickness and hardness and make my own opinion on
this subject (more info :
here).
In my opinion, 40A hardness (aka “soft”) O-rings
are the best. They are also difficult to find.
WASDKeyboards
are selling some but it is expensive : 20$ shipped (USA) or
24$ shipped (Europe). This is why I would like to help this
community benefit from my experience with some manufacturers
in China.

Quote It has a very small key travel reduction, so
you may or may not notice it. It dampens the noise pretty
well, and eliminates almost all of the shock you feel when
the key hits the bottom. If you cant decide which pack to
get, try these ones first. Cant go wrong with these ones,
theyre good all around || source :

|| These “fat” O-rings were sold here 2
years ago. They are not sold anywhere else to my
knowledge.
Quote This one is my personal favorite, but
I know its not for everyone. Its the max thickness you can
have in an O-ring. It bottoms out just after the keys
registration point. This simulates scissor switches on
laptops or thin membrane keyboard, but still retains the
mechanical feel from MX switches. || source :
