Customers are mixed about the keycaps. Some mention that they work to cushion the keystrokes and silence the clack sound of the key bottoming. They also say that they make the keys feel better and more responsive. However, others say that the keys are very claky stock, this took the higher pitch out of them and made them fairly quiet, however, the keys would still bottom out which would still cause a thunk. Some customers also mention that since putting these on, a few of their keys occasionally stick and that caused the keys to not lock in place.

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.
However, many people, including myself, like them.
These o-rings take the annoying "thwack!" out of the bottom of the keyboard stroke, yet they are thin enough that they don't change the feel of the keyboard much. They reduce the travel distance just a little but give a bit of a "bounce" at the end of the stroke if you bottom out, which to me is a good kind of feedback. Some people say that putting o-rings on your keyboard effectively turns it into something resembling a cheap membrane keyboard. I disagree with that opinion - it only feels slightly different from the way the keyboard came before I modified it with o-rings.
If you don't care about what people around you think when typing on this then I would not bother with these.
However, I have to take phone calls as part of my job, and when I type while they are trying to listen to me, they find it quite loud and annoying. These o-rings reduce the volume of my keyboard enough to make using it tolerable to callers, so I am quite happy with them. The only thing I cannot comment on is the durability of these o-rings over a long period of time; however at such a cheap price, as long as it lasts longer than a year I am getting a good value.
One of the highlights of a keyboard is the sound of a switch; it brings character to the board. These o-rings not only completely alter the sound of the board, resulting in a weird “muted” bottom out sound, but they don’t even make a board quiet! There are two moments of impact that happen when you press on a key: the BOTTOM out and TOP out. This dampener will reduce the sound of the BOTTOM out, but that’s it. You still hear the loud clack of the key returning to its original state. Which begs the question, why not buy silent switches instead?
Not only do the dampeners fail to silence a board, but they also feel awful, the bottom out is terribly squishy and unresponsive. It feels like typing on mush.
I wouldn’t recommend these to anyone that’s looking to make their board quieter. If you use these, your attempt will be futile. There are options to truly silence a switch, IE cherry silent switches, which cost a little bit more than their stock series, but fulfill the duty of a quieter typing experience while minimizing the mushy bottom out to a certain degree. Good luck.

Her keyboard is fitted with linear red pre-lubed switches. With the o-rings the bottom out sound is dampened to something much more pleasant with only one ring per key. They type feel more pleasant with one o-rings as it isolates the vibrations from the keyboard chassis. Two rings are definitely quieter, but not with the tradeoff with the diminished type feel. I do prefer a crisp typing experience. I did need to use two rings per stem in the space key though, but it's not as noticeable on the space bar.
I got curious and installed these on my Ergodox that's been modified with Boba U4T's and poured silicone in the chassis. There was an extremely subtle impact to the sound with one ring. Two rings weren't much better. The type feel with tactile switches and o-rings are really bad. I think it's because it feels far more shallow than a linear switch. With tactiles you lose the perception of depth from the pre-travel in the switch. I didn't feel it improved the keyboard so it was removed. Perhaps if I didn't pour silicone in the base, and if I had linear switches installed, these might have been a notable improvement.
I also tried them on my low profile Keychron K7 Pro. Since the stem design is different on low profile, these o-rings will actually raise the resting height of the keys about a half millimeter. There wasn't a very notable difference to the sound or quietness. The type feel was similar, but I did prefer the sound without the rings, so they were removed. I did keep it installed on the space key though.
It will certainly quieten your keyboard if you place two O-rings on the stem of each keycap as some folks are advocating, however I would recommend *against* that. I found that doing so makes each key press feel 'mushy' and unsatisfying.
Instead I recommend :
1. reducing echo by filling the void spaces inside the keyboard with EVA foam sheets cut to size.
2. reducing the key stabiliser rattle/chatter by lubricating the stabilisers using synthetic grease. There's no need to disassemble the switches, just apply a small amount with a brush around the stabilisers and areas of the switch housing that are in the vicinity.
3. finally reduce the impact * of each keypress by adding a single O-ring to each keycap stem.
Each of these steps made a significant improvement to my experience using the keyboard - as a result it's noticeably quieter and more pleasant to type on.
* Using a single O-ring reduces the impact felt when you bottom out each key press, making the keyboard less tiring to use over prolonged periods. I did make an exception for the 'Enter' and 'Spacebar' key caps, where I doubled up on the O-rings as these keys were particularly noisy.
