        The feel of the mechanical keyboard is lost

        Arrived in a large cardboard box for only a small bag. An envelope would have been enough.

        Installed on a Logitech G513 with GX brown switch, attenuates the noise and the end of stroke feeling that is typical of mechanical keyboards, so it feels like typing on a membrane keyboard. However the noise I am trying to mitigate is the noise when the key is released, so this product is not for me.

        Still, it's a good product but it's rather expensive for 125 bits of plastic.

        Top

        Owned on a Logitech G PRO X with brown switches, they dampened the noise perfectly to make it bearable. I recommend it.

        Well

        I've been using this product for a while now and I'm very pleased with the quality of the service. I would recommend it for the precision, but I have reservations about the noise.

        Good noise reduction but beware of packaging

        The product itself is satisfactory, the noise of keyboard strokes on MX Browns is well reduced but the sensation of typing is rather disturbing (big cushioning, at least for the moment, maybe time will attenuate this).

        On the other hand, there is a serious effort to be made on the packaging side where I received a "big" cardboard box with padding for an unfortunate bag that would have easily fit in a small envelope...

        Perfect, just perfect

        Tested on a Corsair K70 RGB MK.2 Low Profile Rapidfire, they do their job perfectly, the difference is just huge, I can play without disturbing anyone nearby.
        The 125 pieces bag is a little bit too small for the large keys that need 2 pieces (space, enter...), as well as the last two rows (F keys, numeric...) that need 2 pieces. This quantity is certainly ideal for a TKL keyboard. But one thing is for sure: these toroidal dampers are simply amazingly efficient.

        3 per touch is expensive.

        I was confident that one ring per touch would make a difference, but it didn't. I was confident that one ring per key would make a difference, but it didn't. So it's from the third key that the noise is well attenuated.
        It's quite nice for clicky keyboards, you keep the "discrete" activation click and you remove the violent noise of the key that arrives at the end of the stroke.
        In the end, it's expensive for pieces of rubber, but it can save a couple.

        Do their job.

        Very good product but I only put 9 stars because frankly, 15 euros for 125 O-rings is really excessive.... Knowing that it must not even cost them 1 euro in production costs.
        Conclusion: Very good but too expensive.

        Indispensable

        When tested with MX brown switches, the typing feel is much better and the noise of the keys against the keyboard is much reduced (the switches are already almost silent).
        If you have mx silent switches, there are already these seals on each key but only one per key.
        I recommend using 2 per key, it's the best compromise.
        1 is too small, and 3 won't fit.

        Perfect

        Does its job properly. They reduce the sound of the keyboard slightly (switch cherry MX red).

        total silence

        It is an essential element to make a mechanical keyboard silent.
        I have a mechanical MX brown keyboard (in short, one of the quietest if you know how to type... And I know how to do that ;) ) but during frantic games with the big guy, the arrival of the keys could be heard on the floor below.
        In short, a bit of TP to put the O-ring under all the keys and the calm is back in the house.
        Hitting is not impacted: everyone is happy in the end.

        Indispensable

        These o-rings are really essential for mechanical keyboards!
        I'm writing this review with them and I must admit that they reduce the noise and the key travel quite a bit.
        It also creates a little "bumper" effect that will be very nice for your joints in the long run and prevents the key from hitting directly on the plastic of the switches.
        On the other hand, installed on a k70 a cherry mx red, it's quite lavish ^^ and you have to be patient even with the key to remove the keys.
        As I read on some comments, I also tested with two seals per switch and it's really perfect in terms of travel / key release / silence, if I had known I would have ordered 2 packs.

        Good product

        The product is very good and is a must for any mechanical keyboard to be a little quieter, regardless of the type of switch.

        I put two of these per key on my K95, and not only is the silence greatly improved, but the typing comfort as well. I couldn't have wished for a better keyboard, especially as I also use it when I work from home.

        No overzealousness

        Installed on a Corsair K70 LUX RGB with Cherry MX Brown switches.
        A bit of a pain to install, but still slightly dampens the keyboard noise, without overdoing it either.
        The kit contains enough parts to fit an o-ring on each key, including 1 on the keys with stabilisers; and 2 on the space bar, enter and ZQSD ( ;) ).
        Doesn't interfere with the backlight at all.

        Very good

        Easy to install but a bit limited in quantity. The noise reduction is slight but noticeable. It all depends on the type of switch and how you use it. They quickly become indispensable as typing comfort is also increased (subjective). The backlighting of the keyboard remains unchanged which is a very good point.
        Installed on cherry mx brown

        Indispensable

        I'm not sure if it's a good idea to have one ring, two rings are great, three rings per key are not :) I say this with a sense of humour because I've tested and with three rings per key sometimes the pressure won't be detected on a mech keyboard.
        So for maximum noise reduction the best is two, so two packs.
        LDLC is at the top and offers the top.

        Yes, on the condition that you put several of them on!

        The O-Rings are of good quality but the noise is really not attenuated enough if you only put one O-Ring per key. Personally, I put three per key. And there, besides the advantage of shortening the path of the key (saving time), the noise is well attenuated!
        So I recommend it!
