Subtle but nice to have difference
These o-rings give the keys that you press a softer touch to them. You are left with the sound and feel of the switch with less of the keycap slam as the switch bottoms out. This leaves the keyboard to feel less vibrationally intense on the fingers, which in turn feel nicer when typing up essays or documents.The sound difference is very minor, but it is audible. The o-rings make it feel more muffled and more like a "thump" than the regular "tock." It's like there is a lower tone to the same bottoming out, and thus ends up being less audible.For the cheap price it offers and ability for you to put it on more than 1 keyboard, or more than 1 o ring per keycap, it's a good nice to have that I would definitely recommend trying out if you sit in front of a keyboard a lot. The features aren't many, but they're subtle and appreciated once you have them. (note they only work on (+) style keycaps. membrane, or logitech's romer-g switches will not work.)

Simple, effective adjustment for mechanical keyboards
There's not much to write about on these little upgrades. They're very inexpensive and can definitely diminish the sound created by mechanical keys bottoming out. They will NOT remove the clicking in the switch itself. They also do not change the travel of the key, which I have noticed as a comment in other reviews (not necessarily on this item). They raise the key higher than it was initially set on the switch, but do not affect the travel of the switch. It may feel different (totally does), but this isn't a lack of functionality, but a difference in memory.They do let light through without any problem and were very easy to put on with just a quick push. Personally, I moved fastest through the keys by seating them on the keycap stem, then using the force of press getting the key back on the switch to push it into place. No issues at all. Definitely quieter overall.. but not so quiet you can't tell it's a mechanical keyboard.

About what you would expect
These work for what they are designed. Fit well on my Keychron C2 with brown switches. I wouldn't say they make the keyboard sound better but they do certainly lower the noise level a bit. This won't make the keyboard silent but brought it down to tolerable in my office setting. Too thick to double up on my keys though. Did not affect the feel of the switches when using one ring per key.

They DO work
You have to look at this for what it is. You either bought a mechanical keyboard, not really understanding what you were getting, OR, your significant other despises you for having a loud keyboard (my case). Either way, the nature of a mechanical keyboard is to make noise. These will DAMPEN the noise; specifically, the sound that is created by either the fact that it was a cheap keyboard (my case), or, you're a hard typist (also, my case). I bought these for my $30 blue switch keyboard (my $70 brown switch keyboard sounds amazing). These do actually make a little bit of a difference, but you have to understand that the larger keys are still going to be louder, and you're not going to completely eliminate the clacking when you bottom out the keys. They're also not going to remove the sound of the switch itself. They help, overall. Personally, I think these are worth it...but again, and I can't stress this enough, these will not make a significant difference.

These o-rings doe help with the 'clacking' sound of the keyboard
I enjoy using a mechanical keyboard because of how they feel, but the click and clack of the keyboard bothers my ears sometimes. I was looking for something to reduce the noise and stumbled upon these o rings. I'm happy to report I can comfortably use a mechanical keyboard because the rings helped reduce the click clack of the keyboard.

Wasnt so sure, but now I am.
I haven't used orings on a mech keyboard before. I was a bit skeptical, but went for it anyway.I guess its about what you would expect out of such a thing, but here is where it got me:I was testing my keys as i was installing these and I thought, well ok, minimal difference, feels pretty good. It wasnt until i was done installing them, and walked away for a little while. I came back to use my PC and thats when it really hit me. The difference was more noticeable after coming back to actually use for the first time.The cushion is definitely noticeable, Still somewhat firm, but the real difference is the reduction of the "clack" when bottoming the keys out.Using on MX Speed (Silver) and works great.If anyone is wondering, you can double up and still have activation on the MX Speed, but not so much with a triple treatment.

Doesn't really dampen sound
Didn't dampen the sound on my keyboard, may just be the way the keyboard is built. Good quality for the price tho.

Adds comfort to mech keyboard!
The o-rings add a little comfort to avoid keys bottoming out. Used with Cherry Browns on a Ducky One Two full size and it just adds that little bit that makes the keyboard perfect.
