Keyboard Puller and 200 Rubber O-Ring Dampeners for Cherry MX Mechanical Keyboard

There's not a lot to say about these, I've just put some onto my new Corsair keyboard and they work really well, they've definitely made the key presses quieter than before. I've used 2 per key, so there's not quite enough to do the whole keyboard which is a shame. The tool is a bit cheap but does the job.Little bit expensive considering how many loom bands my daughter could get for the same money :-)

I was inspired to write this review due to the amount of negativity I saw in reviews. O-rings are o-rings!1. There will be slight differences between different keyboards in how o-rings affect the sound and feel.By way of example—On my old Razer Blackwidow 2014 Edition, a SINGLE o-ring noticeably reduced travel distance. That was why I got them; it was my first mechanical board, I was used to bottoming out on membranes, and I didn't like the 4mm drop. On my new Razer Huntsman v2, however, which uses optical switches instead of plain mechanical, the difference in travel distance is barely noticeable with a single o-ring. Adding a second makes it more noticeable, and also makes them feel slightly softer if you bottom them out with excessive force (adding a third o-ring just makes the key cap rise higher).In other words, the o-rings work, but the construction of the particular keyboard might not allow for the exact desired result or same result experienced with another keyboard.It is not a fair comment to call these o-rings defective. Better to say: these don't achieve X effect with Y keyboard.2. If no difference is achieved at all, it is due to inadequate application, not an inadequate product.Example 1—As some reviews have pointed out, the Razer Huntsman v2 has a nasty metallic echo due to its composition. To those people, I suggest pushing a key down (perhaps a larger key to exaggerate the point), waiting a second, then sharply letting go, as you would when quickly moving to press another key. You will notice the echo is produced when the key springs back up. O-rings do nothing on the key rise! That is not their purpose.Example 2—While o-rings will not remove the echo from some metal boards completely, they can reduce it in two ways: (a) softening the key press; and (b) reduced travel distance means less distance on the spring back up, which *slightly* reduces that echo. However, they must be applied properly! Some newer keyboards (like the Razer Huntsman v2) do not have the fiddly metal stabilisers on larger keys, but instead two plastic stabilsers on either side of the switch. These new stabilisers can be bottomed-out too! Thus, you will want to add a couple of o-rings to those stabilisers in addition to the 1 or 2 added to the switch, otherwise you're leaving the job 66% unfinished.3. The best way to reduce noise?Improve your typing. Allow some time to get used to the keyboard and its actuation points. Put on some o-rings if you want, but above all, become a better typist! Use less force. Let your fingers glide across the keys. The less distance each one is compressed by, the less sound you'll get from it on both the key press and the spring back.4. Why not 5/5?The o-rings are great, the box is handy, but the the key cap puller is rather awkward and doesn't work well on the larger keys such as UK enter, the long shift key, or the space bar. At first glance I thought it would be fantastic, but in practice, I prefer the smaller plastic variant I was using before.

keycap puller was a great bonus.O-rings were durable and work fine with my cherry mx switches.

the keycap puller is better than the ring gripper ones because it does less damage to your keycaps.the o rings made my key presses quieter which is good with red switches making them even more quiet.no effect on keyboard feel. you get used to it after 1 day of typing.

Overall these o rings did do their job however the actual o ring wasn't that think so it didn't make that much of a difference. The keycap puller is quite flimsy but works for the price I payed.

I was sceptical at first however this turned out to be a brilliant tool.I was given a keyboard which was quite dirty and decided to clean it. After looking round I decided to try this one and it was amazing. Very easy to remove all the keys including the bigger sized and odd shaped ones as its flexible enough to reach around them and grip from under the corners.If you're planning on cleaning your keyboard this is a must have tool.

I have a razer green switch, at first I liked the clicky sound but overtime it got too loud so I decided to buy o rings to try it out, because my switches is meant to be clicky and loud, the noise won't get reduced massively but it does dampen the noise a bit, for it to be a massively noticable different you need to put two loops, but the key caps can easily come off. The o rings does make your keyboard just a tiny bit firmer, but in my opinion it's not that bad. This is a little but overpriced but if you have things like blue switch, it probably works better

Seems pretty good. Using them on Gateron reds. Some recommend using 2 for each switch but i prefer just 1. Very happy, no more plastic tapping sound

I recently bought a new lower end mechanical keyboard for color and form-factor. Since it was a lower end it was a bit noisy. They are blue switches (clicky), but the keyboard also 'clacked' when key bottomed out and had a 'ping' when typing quickly.I put 2 of these rings on each key/post (some keys have more than 1 like the space bar). I had enough rings for each key to have 2 and had 6 left over. They had no impact on the lighting (that I can tell) and have removed the 'clack' sound and dampened the 'ping' sound. The keyboard is still loud, but the rings helped make typing feel a little better and reduced noise some. I think it is well worth the price.Keep in mind, it isn't a night and day difference, especially if you have blue switches, but it definitely can help with noise and a little comfort.

Les joints font ce que j'attendais d'eux : adoucir légèrement le bruit du clavier. Ils ne feront pas de miracle, ceux qui en attendent le silence devraient changer de type de clavier je pense.Par contre petit déception, il y en avait 198 dans la boite, dont un défectueux (anneau ouvert). Dommage, pas trop envie d'en racheter une boite pour avoir les 3 qui me manquent.

Da ich vor nicht allzu langer Zeit einen etwas in die Jahre gekommenen C=64 erstanden habe um meine Ursprünge in der Computerwelt wieder etwas aufleben zu lassen, musste ich erst mal etwas Hand anlegen, denn die Jahrzehnte sind leider nicht spurlos an dem Gerät vorbei gegangen.Nach kurzer Recherche wie ich am besten die Tasten abbekomme ohne die darunter liegenden Stößel zu beschädigen, bin ich auf dieses recht simple aber höchst effektive Werkzeug gestoßen.Die am unteren Ende angebrachten Metallbügel werden einfach um die Unterseite der Tasten gelegt und dann mit einem sanften aber zugleich beherzten Ruck nach oben abgezogen.Dies hat wunderbar und vollkommen Zerstörungsfrei funktioniert und nach maximal 5 Minuten habe ich alle Tasten (bis auf die Space-Taste) abmontiert gehabt und konnte den Tasten erst einmal den dringend notwendigen Badetag verschaffen und den unter den Tasten liegenden Bereich vernünftig reinigen.Für mich hat sich der Kauf dieses Tastenhebers mehr als gelohnt, denn eine beschädigte C=64 Taste oder auch ein Tastenstößel bekommt man heutzutage nicht mehr an jeder Ecke und wenn man dann mal ein originales Ersatzteil findet, kostet es in der Regel mehr als dieser Tastenheber.Einfaches, Preisgünstiges aber sehr gut verarbeitetes Tastenheberwerkzeug welches seinen Zweck hervorragend erfüllt, von daher 5 Sterne und eine klare Empfehlung von mir.

Probado en un teclado mecánico con switches Outemu blue.Reduce el ruido del golpeteo de la keycap con el switch y mantiene el sonido clicky propio del switch.Se reduce el sonido que produce la keycap al chocar con el switch, que es bastante molesto, pero se mantiene el tacto y el sonido del click propio de los switches blue.Es necesario usar 2 oring por cada tecla, ya que con uno no se amortigua gran cosa, pero con 2 el cambio es muy significativo.

Ottimo prodotto, soprattutto in relazione al prezzo.Gli anelli di gomma offrono una resistenza non eccessiva il che consente una adeguata riduzione del rumore senza peggiorare drasticamente il feeling in scrittura. Io li ho montati su una Asus Rog Strix Flare equipaggiata con switch Cherry MX brown e grazie a questi dumpener posso utilizzarla anche in ufficio.Per quanto riguarda lo strumento di rimozione, sembra abbastanza fragile ma fa il suo lavoro.
