gotten O-rings thick from quovadis123 for my filco. the sounds really dampened down yet still retain the clicky sound/feel
damn cheap things that make things become a wonder. with this o-ring, i can put a mkb blue switch for office use

im using poker 2 blue with o-rings. the clicky sound still loud enough to annoy colleagues.

the sound without o-rings will break other ppl head. at least with o-ring, mayb they wont naik angin so fast

Get your one of your colleagues a cheap clicky mech to spread the poison.

umm, bro, not that wise to advertise your airsoft collection in your signature

hey wilson can help me check the difference when you use the O ring on the keyboard I sold you? i kena tegur already for typing too loudly

key is abit higher due to using thick, but it will even out when you apply o-ring to all key. not much increase, juz a bit....very abit...
and sound reduction i would say almost by 50%. still its noisy but not so noisy compare to stock
its just Rm19 per pack.
also, if you plan to use on ur led kb, be aware that some lightning will be block. you will notice your kepcaps instead of full lightning, the btm part will dim abit compare to top due to o-ring
hence i'm putting it into my filco instead to avoid spoiling the BW lightning

not if the o-ring is the clear variant. by the way, the exposed switch design will make the clickity-clack sound from mx blue switches to be more pronounced. all the o-rings do is just take away the clack sound when the bottom of your keycap hit the top of the mechanical switch.

can anyone guide me where can i get 62g korean spring and gateron transparent switch case.

lol. all thrown away already a year ago. into real steel now. also mkb.

Short Review: E-Element TKL Mechanical Keyboard

Specs:
• Tenkeyless 87-key ANSI layout
• Outemu blue switches
• Aluminum top plate (silver) with white plastic body
• White backlighting
• White doubleshot ABS keycaps (OEM profile)
• 21-key rollover with USB, N-key rollover with PS/2 (converter not included)
• Standard bottom row layout, ideal for replacing keycaps unlike the Razer Blackwidow or Corsair Strafe

Pros:
• Sufficiently solid build quality. I tried twisting the keyboard with both hands but couldn't make it flex.
• Simple and clean rectangular design, does not have weird corners & edges like the Redragon K6 and is not obnoxiously branded like the Armageddon MKA-3.
• Aluminum top plate has a nice brushed finish and reflects the backlight well. It's a pleasure to use in the dark.
• ABS keycaps are grippier compared to Razer's or Corsair's soft-touch satin caps. They don't trap fingerprints either.
• 9 different lighting modes (scanning, breathing, reactive), plus 8 preset backlight modes, plus another 2 slots for user presets. That's a lot.
• Remembers your last-used lighting preset/mode upon restart.
• Beginner-friendly and quite easy to use. Just plug and play, no need to mess around with software.

Cons:
• Non-detachable USB cord.
• Ugly keycap legends.
• The LEDs on my F9 & F11 keys are slightly dimmer than the other LEDs. Seems like a quality control issue.
• Some of the backlight presets are redundant.
• The stabilizers used are really horrible and prevent the Backspace, Enter, RShift, LShift and Spacebar keys from bottoming out properly. In other words, the key travel is somewhat shortened and ends in a muffled thunk instead of a clack. I will look into getting the stabs clipped, but 2mm O-rings should help for the short term (so all the keys will at least feel consistent).
• Some might feel that the asking price is quite high (USD80 all-in from Massdrop, or ~RM260 from certain local sources) given that backlit Lingyis can be found for below RM200.

Outemu Blue Switches:
• The Outemu blue switches here are made in China and have a nice transparent top housing.
• They have a noticeably louder click than Cherry's blues. This is a definite plus for me, but other people might dislike it.
• The pitch of the click (in the musical sense) seems lower than Cherry's blues.
• They seem to have a higher click/actuation point than Cherry's blues, although I am not 100% sure about this observation.
• If you place your finger on a key and gently rock it from side to side, you'd notice the stem wobbling more compared to a stock Cherry switch. This is a good example of how German manufacturing still reigns superior. Anyway, the flaw can be rectified by stickering the switches, but it might not be worth the effort given the entry-level position of the product.
• On a positive note, I did not notice any inconsistencies in terms of switch feel across the keyboard.

Conclusions:
• This E-Element TKL board would be a great choice for beginners looking for their first mech, assuming they do not have the ~RM400 budget for a Filco or Rapid-i.
• Experienced users looking for a cheap secondary/backup MKB might want to consider this as well, especially if you manage to find a used unit for under RM200. It's definitely better than buying a Cherry MX Board 2.0.
• Having said that, I cannot get used to the poor stabilizers which are affecting my typing rhythm. It's just like driving at 90km/h and encountering a speed bump - not only does your WPM drop, you lose concentration as well. I intend to get this sorted out ASAP.
