50M and you don't need an O ring for that switch.

do you know what it is in mm? because i know most switches are 2mm but the speed switch is 1.2mm, is 50m a distance?

If you're asking about key travel, it's 3.7 mm http://www.anandtech.com/show/9498/corsair-and-cherry-introduce-new-quieter-mechanical-keyboard-switches

i think thats the distance to bottom out the key

Wait are you asking how many clicks each key is rated for, or the distance the key travels? 50 Million is the amount of clicked, 3.7mm is the distance those switches travel.

[Ronnie46]

test it yourself by very slowly pusing down a key and see when it puts a letter on screen and when the key hits the back board of they keybaord

 

[Ronnie46]

basicly there is a distance that is smaller than the key travel that is the distance you need to push the key down so that it regisers a key stroke and then there is still some distance between the bottom of the key cap and the keyboard once you have reached the actuation point
