O-Rings do their job!
I have a RedDragon Horus K618 wireless keyboard w/brown switches, and these O-rings certainly reduced the sound! However the sound is less clicky, more scratchy and the keycaps are slightly higher than before (maybe 0.5mm)...either way, it is a cheap improvement! The keys are slightly mushier now, but overall these O-rings work fine! I would certainly prefer to replace the keyswitches to a quieter switch, but this is a good-enough alternative. There are enough O-rings in the 120 pack for a full-size keyboard, I only have the O-rings placed on the MX switch stem, not the stabilizers, and I've still got plenty O-rings remaining.

Low Noises
Works well with my HyperX Alloy Origins keyboard! Noticeable noise difference when using. Makes the keyboard feel good while typing.

Dampens My BlackWidow V3
The media could not be loaded. Didn’t know when I purchased my BlackWidow V3 with green mechanical switches that I might try to play games again with a newborn by my side. The switches are soldered onto the keyboard and I’m not trying to learn how to solder just yet so these are these dampeners are next best thing. I bought two packs and doubled up on each ring as 1 didn’t make much difference. It does the job of dampening my loud keystrokes. In video, F keys do not have dampener while the rest do.Fit/Quality: They fit well but I am removing one star because I feel that some rings were thinner than others? After installing on some keys, they weren’t as dampened as others. I swapped the rings out and they were as dampened as the rest. Out of the 2 packs, less than 10 were swapped out.Feel: I’m not a keyboard snob but I barely notice a difference in feel. My keyboard is just as fun to mash as before.Easy to install, will need a tool like tweezers to remove. Happy with purchase.Note: If you have a light up/backlit keyboard, I would suggest getting the clear ones. I imagine they wouldn’t obscure light as much as the black ones.

If your MX keyboard is too loud, try these.
I don't care if "silent switches" are more popular, these made my linear smooth switches silent, for a fraction of the cost. Some will say they're mushy, but I feel like they make the impact of typing softer.

Works to Both Dampen Noise and Stabilize Keys
I'm putting these on a Logitech G512SE with the "Clicky" switches - similar to Cherry MX Blues, and note that it's important to get clear o-rings if you have illuminated keys because the o-ring does overlap with the key letter/number cutouts on this specific keyboard. While they don't block the key light, you can see a faint outline and different transparency of the o-ring through the letter cutouts.While the out-of-the-box typing experience was fine, adding these o-rings significantly dampened the "clack" sound of the key plastic bottoming out on the switch housing, to the point where I can only hear the sound of the switch being actuated rather than the combination of both the switch click and the key bottoming out (with the larger keys being the exception). Instead of the usual hollow bouncing of plastic, I now only hear the much quieter click of the key switch on the small keys. It still dampens the large keys (space bar, shift, enter etc.) but it's not as dramatic of a sound difference compared to the small letter keys. Just on the sound dampening front, the o-rings do the job well and are a winner.As noted by another reviewer, due to their thickness (which is about 1.8mm thick) they have roughly halved key travel. If you like your key travel distance, I would stay away from these and find o-rings with a smaller profile. But for me, I've always had an issue with the key travel being too deep so these were perfect. Because of shorter travel, I can really capitalize on the short actuation distance (distance for key press to register), making typing a lot easier, faster, and smoother. On top of all that, the o-rings have fully stabilized the keys whereas before, some of the keys could be tilted or wiggled about depending on the angle the press was coming from and they tended to be very "bouncy" which also has been completely negated by the o-rings.Overall, these o-rings were the perfect thickness to both noticeably quiet down overall typing noise and allow for adequate key travel on my specific keyboard. They also completely stabilized the keys resulting in a much more satisfying, solid, and smoother typing experience. These are a very affordable and necessary mod for any mechanical keyboard.

Wasn't what I was looking for
I'm new to modifying keyboards and wanted to try these rings since they were an affordable option. Unfortunately, the rings were thinner than I expected and didn't seem to make a difference. They didn't feel good when i pressed down on the keys with these on and the sound was the same as before i put them on. I give them 3 stars because they were easy to install, just not what I'm looking for in terms of acoustics.

Works as intended with cherry mx low profile speed switches
1.5mm thick o-ring works. Maintains rgb on my corsair k70 mk.2 low profile rapidfire keyboard. Makes it quieter. Does add a slight bounce or dampening to the bottom out portion of the key travel but not terribly mushy when using just 1 o-ring per keycap. I ended up putting 2 under the space bar to really reduce the sound but it adds a very noticeable bounce when used like this.

My wife noticed without me telling her what I did!
I watched the videos where people were showing the keys with and without the rings on it. I read that people said it does not really make a difference with the on. I took the chance and gave them a shot on my SteelSeries Apex Keyboard. My wife has ADHD and the clicking was loud because the switches click and you pressing the keys down makes it worse. People do not understand that the switch makes a click you cannot remove, the rings helps with the keypresses. It does quiet the keyboard very well. I did not tell my wife I put them on and I was working on a college paper and she thanked me for typing softer. She noticed and I was typing the same way I always do, so yes, they do work. I definitely recommend them for the gamers out there who live with someone else, especially with an ADHD person as it was distracting them a lot. Remember, you are silencing the key press, not the click as that is what makes the mechanical keyboard.... well... mechanical!
