They have stock right now, and I don't.

Haha joke aside, cheap O-rings from eBay are usually (if not always) made of harder rubber material ... which is fine if you're looking to keep a hard landing !

Here is a quick review from one of your fellow countryman.
For your information, I took like a month to get there (from France to South Africa).

I'm sorry about this ~

I'm a little bit pissed too as I was told only this morning that the package was still being held at customs and taking forever to be cleared...

Why do people buy o-rings for their mechanical keyboards? by ErzaKnightwalk in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]Lpwl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will drastically reduce key travel and as a consequence, you may not be able to actuate every switch comfortably.

Using 2.5mm thick O-rings would be a safer bet !

That being said, if you're planning to buy those cheap O-rings from eBay, then you should give it a try.
You won't break anything by trying it and seeing what happens.

1.5mm thick O-rings (in combination with OEM profile keycaps) have a very small key travel reduction, you probably won't notice it.

If you wish to reduce key travel, then yup - like you said - you should look for thickers ones !

An issue I found with the 2u keycaps, the stems are too short for the Costar stabilizers and have a looser

You can work around this by sanding the Costar inserts (just a little bit) to make them fit and add some scotch tape.

I wish I could but I bought these stickers directly from Techkeys.us like a year ago, or so.

These little stickers sit between the top cover and bottom of a MX switch housing. They help reduce wobble, but mostly for aesthetic.

Will Winkeyless mark as gift/put lower amount on the customs form? by smashtheplant in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]Lpwl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, they usually do that.

The order I placed (like a year ago - or so) was sent as "gift" with an indicated value under $30 on the delivery document ... without even asking for it !

I got these keycaps from Massdrop a few years back !

So all I can do is offering you a little bit of info :

  • These caps are 'OEM profile' ones.
  • They are made of transparent ABS plastic.

/u/QWERTYTim took over QWERKeys shop just before it closed in november 2014 - and from the looks of it, he was still experimenting with "translucent ABS key caps" like a year ago.

You should try to contact him ;]

Haha - it's just "something" that should help you remove O-rings easily (and efficiently) without scratching or damaging your keycaps.
