I designed these bumpers for Choc keycaps, they do the same thing as o-rings on an MX switch (quiet the sound and cushion the bottom-out) but can be made from much thinner material.

I’ve laser cut several sets from silicone placemats (0.7mm thick) which I’ve daily driven on MBK, LDSA, and CFX caps, they sound and feel good! You could also use 0.5mm Poron or EVA like are used in switch pads, EPDM, neoprene, whatever.

They do not alter your switch travel but they do raise your keycaps by the thickness of whatever material you make them from.

Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards

Rules

Keep it ergo

Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn’t exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)

i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²

¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid

No Spam

No excessive posting/“shilling” for commercial purposes. Vendors are permitted to promote their products/services but keep it to a minimum and use the [vendor] flair. Posts that appear to be marketing without being transparent about it will be removed.
