o-ring keyboard

[Gyawdyr]

hi

 

if i use o-rings on a cherry mx speed/red,

 

will it shorten the overall travel distance to bottom out?

will it leave the actuation distance unaffected? pretty sure yes, but just checking.

will it raise the key higher than it originally was without the o-ring?

 

thanks

the actuation point will remain unchanged.

however

the point in which you bottom out changes, and the time it takes for the key to reset to above the actuation point is reduced.

 

if you touchtype, theres no point in o-rings

but if you type like you hate your keyboard, they can be useful

they will also reduce the noise caused by bottoming out.

thanks! will the keycaps be raised higher or will it remain the same height?

They will be slightly higher.
