100
Feb 22, 2016
So I just got these in the mail (2.5mm), and installed them on my POK3R w/ clears..
They improved my typing speed on the first try. When I used membrame keyboards, I could get 110+ WPM on a good day (with like 10-15 wrong words though). When I switched to mech keyboards, I got like 100< WPM on my hardest tries.
After putting these on and trying them out, I got 115 WPM on my first try (and only 1 wrong word!). This was pretty much the reason I wanted to buy these rings; to type faster and reduce finger fatigue. I love my clears; but using it for work and typing on it 8 hours a day is pretty tiring. My finger fatigue still persists (I bottom out my clears on every keystroke), but I havent used these for two full days yet; so I'll have to be patient and adjust my fingers not to squish the rings.
Overall, I'm pretty happy. I got 120 rings, which of 1 was badly degraded (looks like something took a bite from the inside of it). Not that I care, considering I use a POK3R as my only mechanical keyboard, but yeah. The other rings were of good quality though. I even tried stretching the degraded one out as far as I could, but it wouldn't snap.
The only part that I'm dissapointed about is the squishiness of the rings. I figured they'd be pretty hard to squish (vertically). When typing, I kinda feel them squishing (like VERY little, its barely anything). Maybe because it's I'm ramming so damn hard. Maybe I still need to adjust, I don't know.
Also payed 15 euros for everything in total (shipping, o-rings), which is kinda too much in my opinion. Like people mentioned before, you can get likewise o-rings from ebay and stuff for way cheaper. Not sure how legitimate the quality of those are though. The quality control on these isn't bad at all.
