so, i learned something today, you can put FOUR o-rings on relegendable cherry compatible keycaps with cherry silver (and i assume gateron white) key switches because they don't have to be pushed far to switch it makes them quieter and easier to type on because you get a definite tactile "pressed" feedback way before the mechanism goes to the stupid end of its very long distance further than the switching distance win... so, 4 o rings is possible, and it makes the short travel tactile type of switch work even better, for reducing strain and shorter response i bet i can type 120wpm when i've got all the prophylactics on my kesy now

nope, 3 is the max, confirmed... the keys don't always actuate with 4
for these relegendable keys at least, 3 is the max cherry silver and gateron white are "fast" keys which means they have light springs and the scissor closes when they are only barely 2mm pressed... the full travel distance, however, is a lot further, and when they hit down they are plastic hitting plastic 3 silicone o rings on each key means they hit bottom and give the tactile feedback just a little bit deeper than the distance to actuate, which makes them actually really a lot lighter to press i'm going to see if i can't scrape together the full 450 o rings i need to make my daily driver already super light and actually fast i wonder why cherry and gateron never got any feedback about the fact that such a short actuation distance should bottom out properly not long after it has hit the actuation depth? seems kinda retarded to keep pushing when it's long been switched well, i'll see i used to keep 2 on them for a long time, because they were quieter, but if i can put 3 on them and they are not just quieter but take less force to press then it's a total win for me right now nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzqnyqqft6tz9g9pyaqjvp0s4a4tvcfvj6gkke7mddvmj86w68uwe0qqsgrnnksewjy58eyugk3hlzushstmzkfuwurmd5vl3wzx8va88yy8strvupk
