What can I do to silence the bottoming out?

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
I just bought my first mech kb and I want to silence or drown out the sound when I bottom out. Where can I buy o-rings for cheap? Or is there other options?

You can buy o-rings

Or you can get the pads from elitekeyboards:

Or you can learn how to type and not bottom out. The o-rings and the pads really make the keys feel like crap. I really don't like them and couldn't recommend them. But if you would like to try them out they are really not that expensive.

I find PBT keycaps to significantly reduce noise. A combination of PBT keycaps and Orings should do well.

That, and if you don't like the sound they make maybe mech kbs aren't for you.

this.
you said you just got it so give it some time. it takes a while to adjust trying not to bottom out. a few weeks and some effort and you'll be golden.
