O-rings for a mechanical keyboard are O-shaped rubber rings that are designed to reduce noise and shocks. They are characterized by high strength, flexibility and resistance to cracking. What are the O-rings for a mechanical keyboard used for? Mechanical keyboards make a sound each time they are pressed. The rubber rings are designed to cushion the keycaps to reduce impacts and ensure quieter and more comfortable operation. Discover the benefits of using O-rings for a mechanical keyboard:
- Pressing a key takes less time - shortening the distance between pressing a key and hitting the bottom of the keyboard improves typing speed and reduces pain in the fingers;
- Noise and shock reduction -suppresses distracting sound of clicks and eliminates the impact of keys on the base of the keyboard, which significantly improves the comfort of work and use in public places;
- Extends the life of the keyboard -the shock absorption of the key caps reduces their wear;
- They have different hardness and thickness - this allows for individual selection of parameters that will improve the impression when writing or playing;
- Health Benefits -Thanks to shock absorption, they reduce the effects of prolonged hitting the keyboard, relieving finger fatigue during long typing;
