O-ring as damper? it's damn cheap in Malaysia.. Just walk to any hardware seal shop and buy cost 45cents each i think

If you want to based on comparison, price based, i don't think it's damn cheap anyway.

45cents x 104 = RM46.80

Elitekeyboards.com Ring Softlanding Pad 120 piece = 12 USD

12 USD x 3.2 = RM38.40

Well, if shipping fee is removed, i think softlanding pad are worth much more.

But based on your digit 45cent per piece, which is a rough digit... maybe got 30cents? , hmm....

I think he mean 4,5 cent. not 45 cent. 45 cent is too expensive compare to my metal nut lol

perhaps you try using imageshack or photobucket?

agreed, not much users would download and view the pictures, troublesome plus scare of virus.

using imagehack or photobucket or attaching the picture under your post is much more preferable.

taobao sell 104 in one pack = RMB 8.00 = Rm4 only

got link? share with us man.

Does adding the o ring will turn your mechanical fel to membrane feel? I know it will help to dampen some noice butt hows the feeling like with the oring on?

got such thing?
i think first ppl need to learn how to touch type.
point of mech kbs is that u only need a very light touch to activate the key, no need to bottom it out like membrane keyboards.

Chiu sure, bro?
Cherry Black, Clear and Buckling spring is out there denying your facts.

im using 7g and i can bang up to 130wpm.
cherry black 2mm activation.

I think it will sure change the feel if you are the type that like to fully press down a key. Most ppl which like Cherry Switch over scissor switches because they prefer the long travel(4mm) of Cherry Switch over short(<2.5mm) of scissor switch.

However if you are the type of users which only press halfway, i think it wont affect you much(you dont even need for it, LOL).

Added on October 19, 2011, 7:14 pmI know, but you saying that mechanical keyboard's point is a light touch to actuate keys, which is not necessary true.

k lets play facts.
from the keys u listed...
cherry black actuation 2mm.
cherry clear actuation 2mm.
buckling spring actuation 2.3mm.

obviously meaning when it reaches that distance, the key will activate.
so u do not need to bottom it out all the way to 4mm which is how far it travels.
ie. once u learn how to touch type, u will start bottoming keys out less, and increase speed.

hmm...not i don't want to put the picture, but lowyat forum doesn't allow to link the photo from skydrive..

anyway..you just remind me of imageshack which does not require registration

will upload later

But does touch type have anything to do with not bottoming out?

Somehow i felt what Everdying says is right :S i don't really bottom out the whole key to type, even on a membrane keyboard.

But still it doesn't matter... we buy mechanical keyboard for its solid built quality, unique switches.

I touch type, but I still bottom out a lot especially on Topre switches.
It's a personal preference thing, this whole thing about bottoming or not. The fun part is the feeling your fingers get when you are using these keyboards, that is the most important consideration in using Mech Keyboards.

Anyways, the RnD guy from CM, battlesheep confirmed this at GH. That the CM storm



So the build quality should be the same as FILCO since the same people made them.

^ i wonder if we can mod it to white LED or Green LED

it is highly possible if you have the knowledge of soldering.
