Got these yesterday and installed them with o-rings on my Pok3r with mx browns and I really can't tell the difference. Maybe the slightest bit, but I wouldn't bother doing it again. Maybe with louder switches these might do more but let's just say, people across the room will still know I'm on a mechy board. btw, I tried them without o-rings and they were louder than the keys with just o-rings.
[EDIT] See Zeal's post below, could be my keycaps causing the ruckus.

hyperspriteThe Zealencios are most optimal when paired with Cherry profile keycaps. Unfortunately since OEM profile caps are taller, the cross underneath the keycap may not touch the rubber platform on the clips. Give it a try with Cherry profile caps such as GMK, EnjoyPBT, etc and the difference should be night and day.

ZealIt can't hurt. I don't have anything else handy right now but I have an order in for these https://www.massdrop.com/buy/royal-kludge-doubleshot-abs-keycaps Do they count? If not, I am on the Keyclack 1965s but they don't ship till July and I don't even know what the bottom sides look like, just says "Manufactured by Signature Plastics". Thanks

hyperspriteThe Royal Kludge keycap sets have pointed corners like Cherry profile caps, but unfortunately the spec still reads "OEM Profile" at the bottom.
Keyclack's 1965 set is SA profile. Those caps don't have any cross support whatsoever underneath.
Cherry profile caps look like this: https://c2.staticflickr.com/4/3686/12545216905_11dec30cbe_b.jpg (Photo credit: Photoelectric) Note the cross supporting the keycap stem? That's what dampens the bottom out when paired with these clips. With taller caps such as SA and OEM profile, that supporting cross either doesn't exist, or is too high up to reduce bottom out noise.
That said, the clips still reduce the upstroke sound on any keyswitch as the thin rubber layer touches the stem on the rebound.

ZealI've never placed o-rings on my keycaps. Do o-rings work on SA profile caps or are they still too tall?

QuirosIt's still too tall/lacks the cross stem support, so you will need to stack multiple orings on every SA cap.

bottom_kekHaven't tested with Tai Hao keycaps, but those caps are OEM profile. Unless Tai Hao has a longer stem support than other OEM caps, only the upstroke will be dampened. That said, if you add a thin oring with oem profile keycaps, it should be able to add a bit of cushion to make bottoming out dampen as well.

ZealI wasn't sure, I'm a bit green when it comes to all this - still learning! I was confused because I saw them listed separately in this image: https://i.imgur.com/kFxqOm8.jpg
I do already have O-rings and MX browns, so these probably wouldn't add (or more correctly, subtract) much with the TH keycaps then? I have Jessica's Plum GMK keycap set coming soon. Since that's Cherry profile, I'd have much better luck with these clips on there? I'm trying to reduce the sound when my SO is trying to sleep.
Sorry for all the questions, and thank you for responding so quickly!

bottom_kekIf you pair oring+Zealencio clips with OEM caps, you'll definitely get the silenced bottom out and upstroke.
With Cherry profile keycaps, no orings are needed. The clips will silence both bottom out and upstroke. Just make sure the switch is logo facing top, LED hole down!
