squashy boy: "why o-rings suck"
me: *._.*
i literally just bought that too .___.
if you play osu theyre not bad tbh. They give a little extra rebound and noticeably shortens the travel distance of the keystrokes. (this could be good or bad just depends on preference) if you have a 65%+ keyboard you could use the o-rings on the arrow keys and nothing else
No worries I have o-rings and at first I hated them! I decided to get rid of them but it was late and went sleep, I completely forget about them for 6 months! And yesterday I was modding my keyboard and when pulling off the keycaps I remember I've forget to get rid the o-rings, I try with and without and now I actually like the feeling they give better 🤷😅.
Just give them a (long?) try 😉
(Sorry for my English I'm French)
My o-ring are coming this week ..

I really like the O-ring mod. It makes my keyboard quieter and I have cherry-red switches. I want to be able to play at night without everyone hearing.
same, at least for playing i really like them, also for the faster bottom out, imo you get the advanteges of membrane like softer bottom out and quieter tapping while still retaining the advantages of a mechanical switch such as the higher actuation point
then get a mem
Y’all complaining about loud keyboard meanwhile me playing on kailh blue switches at 4 am
Just get a membrane then lol

Squashy boy: O-Ring sucks for Osu

im a mania player myself and i play better without them lmao

@Koyui osu! it sucks but I saw a vid of a dude us DOUBLE O RINGS

No. I feel like every youtuber i know is turning to a keyboard channel.

@@CDeeez94 i dont remember
Not so much as they suck but they're commonly used for the wrong use-case.
I use them on my lubed gateron clears and the reduced travel makes them feel even lighter, its nuts. I use that keeb primarily for typing out paragraphs upon paragraphs of stuff as well as some light coding here and there. Its my favorite keeb in my collection to date. Have yet to find a keeb that can offer me something like that.
For other purposes, though, that fake Holy Panda (lubed and filmed) has replaced my Zelios keeb.
Precisely. To reduce travel.
They're mostly designed for the change of sound, and are heavily preference, I use them to remove the clack from my blues so I mostly hear the switch actuation. Besides it's not quite like going back to membrane, they're still mechanical switches with mechanical switch actuation, they just have some rubber inbetween the cap and the switch. They feel poopy at first but they're fine to use, I don't always bother with them but sound is an issue, they remove some of the most obnoxious part of the sound for the people around me, and leave enough of what I care to keep. Of course, if you can't play osu! at night, you're still not gonna be able to play osu! at night so, you have to decide if they're worth it for you.
I thought they were for reducing keystroke? You know, the stroke length AFTER the click
if you get o-rings get back to membrane keyboard or use silent switch.
@@FLMKane They also do that. But their main function is to reduce the sound when you bottom out your keys. Which...it does help a ton. I wont even use a mechanical keyboard without them because of how annoying it is to hear that plastic clack every time i push down. I want to be able to hear the tv and stuff around me when im typing. Not be overwhelmed with clacking from a keyboard im typing on. This video, is an opinion piece. Dont take it as gospel fact. Its just a subjective opinion he's pushing as fact.
Just because a board uses rubber elements in it or part of the switch has rubber, resulting in a mushy bottom out doesn't mean it is a membrane board. The same goes for the Niz board you mentioned being "membrane" when it's really not, it just uses rubber domes as a method of generating tactility over a PCB
That has to be one of the best sponsors I've seen. I was crying when i saw him pull out a keyboard from his pocket
I think this video just showed how much of modding is just preference. The typing clip meant to show how bad they sounded actually sounded really nice to me. That being said, I generally like a soft, squishy linear build.
I’m so glad that I found your channel recently bc you are too funny lmao
Why I use O-rings - I'm playing osu!taiko. I need linear switching characteristics, short travel distance, durability. I don't care about sound. I use two o-rings for one keycap which reduce travel distance. It also causes little rebound which helps the wrists make better movement. I didn't find any membrane keyboard that offers this. Maybe there exists some, but mechanical keyboards have better described characteristics.
how did you even fit a knife and a keyboard in your pock-
*the quiet kid in the back of the class*
@@jotsa imagines full size keyboard
Girls’ pants pockets could never because all of the pockets are one inch deep or FAKE
A keyboard is nothing but the knife is the weird thing
Liking the content man, finally a good recommendation by YT that isnt a clips or reupload channel
Editing on point man!!!
This was f'ing funny. I like your style kid. Subscribed to see more.
The price for a ridge wallet is more than the amount of money that's gonna be inside it and my bank account all together.
I LOVE HOW THE SPONSOR WHEEL IS SO ACCURATE LMFAO
i've only been here in the channel for a few days but this dude has managed to get me to watch all his sponsorship segments without fail
Don’t use O rings, use brown.
Me: *Laughs in brown switches*
b-bu-but..... i enjoyed using o-rings....
"Professional keyboarder"
Im gonna put that in my resume.
Now the key with o-rings is that less is more.
me who plays with mecha-mambrane keyboard: noice man
Get a mechanical keyboard for Christmas? I mean I just got one
@@akasuistreams5269 this is already what i am gonna do
"enthusiasts angery"
That's all the reason I need to use o-rings. Thank you Squashy I already ordered them.
When orings do suck when you put them on switches or keycaps, they are actually great when use for the screws on the pcb or tray standoffs. It makes the keyboard sound and feel alot nicer.
holy
this guy found out about the o ring burger mount before anyone else
i prefer gummy oring mount
That ad was hilarious. Subscribed and I might actually buy a ridge wallet now
i love how you have implemented humour into a reviewing video.
3:01 why does it look like my man lewis swallowed an egg shell and got caught in his throat
This man be flexing the endless guys pants pocket
very happy to say i use 90a hardness o-rings on silver speed switches with already factory lubed stabilizers :)
feels absolutely nothing like a membrane keyboard since the ring only stops the contact between the outer switch casing and bottom of keycap.
Honestly, I never actually looked at O-rings that way
Tho I wouldn't really say that it feels like Membrane? At least in my experience, it kinda does reduce the vibrations but not really enough to make much of a difference imo
Bro, really. I just got O rings today and put them on today and love them. And i personally love the sound
I use it to soften the bottom out impact, also I want to make my keyboard as silent as possible. It's not bad if it answers your requirement.
Squashy you make my day when you upload,. Keep up the great work
First 5 second of this video I knew I had to subscribe to you bc you funny and your the type of youtubers i watch, you may now be my #1 favorite youtuber
O rings can be good, depends on the material and the keycap, and how you type of course.
Using for "faster actuation" is definitely wrong, o rings are used to prevent bottom out and using it with mechanical keys still better than membrane's wobble.
O rings also get bad reputation because it feels inconsistent. This is because most key caps are OEM/Cherry or maybe SA profile, which is shaped differently
Random opinion here don't mind me
Yep, with uniform keycaps such as XDA, MA, DSA, etc it feels and sounds great tbh.
will it sound quieter if i use O-rings on my cherry profile keycaps but with north-facing layout?
i wanted to use o-rings to remove "keycap interference"
@@ARCHONFella just my opinion but I don't think it matters. O ring doesn't extend the stem, so I doubt it will help with interference, and regarding cherry profile and quietness, refer my original comment for details
my keyboard has this really annoying kind of thock and i kind of like it. My o rings arrived this week and first experience with it felt wrong. I've been trying to make keypresses a little softer when i mash on the keyboard, and while o rings are good for quieting stuff, it didnt really affect the mash sound that much. It did significantly quiet my entire spacebar which is somewhat neat.
Sponsor Session is the best part hands down
Thanks for the video. It was entertaining and helped me understand why I should not get orings
I will say I liked o-rings on my topre board, although they are placed on the slider to dampen the upstroke so a very different idea. I did hate O-rings when I tried them years ago on a normal mech.
this makes your keyboard SQUASHY, quality content
1:01 holy sht my boy squashy went eren jeager mode
Is there any other way to quiet down a keyboard? Perhaps a slim rubber film? I mean o-rings are quite thick and uneven, so I can understand that it makes the keyboard feel mushy.
4. I love the sound and feel of the Apple Magic mute keyboard but good luck finding one of those with RGB backlighting, so I had to get a mechanical keyboard instead and now I'm looking for ways to make it shallow, quiet, and squishy. :P
Though by looking into that I stumbled across the mechanical keyboard community and I've been watching videos about switches and modding keyboards for two days now and I can't stop.
😂
You won't feel that "membrane" unless you press like 10000kg, otherwise it literally won't change anything tbh
All it ever does is reduce actuation distance and noise. Not really that big of a deal.
I love how Squashy's channel turned into tech channel.
does anybody know how i can make my razer blackwidow green switches a bit quieter and smoother???
Cause its to hard to change the switches on that keyboard....
My mans squash is really putting that green screen to good use, dear lord
Are there actually some performance issues caused with o rings, or is it just sound?
its gonna feel different since there's the o-ring is stopping the keys from going all the way down a little bit
I liked the vid, it was humorous and didn't take itself super seriously. Good content, keep it up. Me, personally gonna buy some to hopefully to make the keyboard more quiet if you will. Like I said I loved the content. ;) Best vid I've seen in days, of research and etc. ;) It made my day.
i got a clicky redragon keyboard and i think its too noisy how do i upgrade it
Literally the day after he ask he should buy keyboard parts for 480 dollars or something lol
so excited i ordered extra thicc o rings after watching this (:
The way that lewis said *dont use o ring just use browns same shit* i was like thats a pretty good quote
I've been grinding rank in osu for a while now I went from 800k to 739k but when I played the 5th last map my index finger felt like it went out of place and my thumb started hurting but I kept going until I reached 739k. I'm playing with mouse and I just wanna know what I should do. It's kinda ok now but my thumb hurts . Should I take a break or no? If so, for how long? Edit: ever since this happened I can't play osu as good now
I had o-rings before and im never using them again, they feel so weird
This channel make me play osu with a virtual tablet in my phone
Is it that bad to use a razer green switches... im using a Blackwidow X TE
Love the keyboard just being pulled casually out of the pocked
Well i got o rings on my keyboard and i actually like the feeling while playing
Go back to membrane then
Tbh I cant tell if I like them or not bc they make my board a bit more quiet but it kinda feels squishy
But what about the shorter bottom out distance for rhythm games ;-;
That’s what my OSU! Loving brother did
What is the outro music?
mate you killed me at 2.45 can't stop giggling
It’s different when you’re trying to get the best advantage competitively possible. O-rings of different sizes reduce bottom out distance allowing faster spam
nah just get gateron optical silver or yellow if u want best possible switch personally i play better with browns because i can tell when im pressing button
O ring? more like BORING
yo the upload schedule is getting fixed, good job squashy BOIII!
Editing is so good!
People who buy brown switches and put orings on them. literally trying to emulate a membrane keyboard.
Just curious... why are people hating on brown switches?
@@andreasv8151 mx browns are marketed as tactile switches but the tactile bump is so small that it is unnoticeable. They are also very scratchy and it feels like a mx red with sand sprinkled In the the housing
A lot of people use mechanical for precision, and don't mind the noise. But if you are on a lot of video calls, the noise can get annoying to others very quickly.
Get a silent mx or get membrane back.
@@juanpablohernandez3199that’s the thing about o rings. They work the same way as silent switches. Solent switches have rubber silicon on the stem while prongs have it on top of the stem. They function the same way and sound the same. Only difference is one takes place inside the switch housing while the other takes place on the keycap
i have silver switches and I can't stop myself from bottoming them out in osu, this has caused repetitive shock on my knuckles and causes joint pain, it goes away after a few hours, but would o-rings add suspension to the keys, or is it not worth?
then what to use other than o ring
i actually really love o rings so much :(
I only use O-rings bc my browns are loud according to my mom, must be OSU
Would O-Rings be good for a keyboard with speed silvers like the gk61 I have?
LMFAO these edits are top tier
Glarses enemy is cherry mx browns
Squashy boy enemy is O rings.😂
This comment is hella underrated
I use O rings cause it makes my KB quieter.
but it feels like shit.
the way you say "sponsor" reminds me of how warowl says "spread" HAHAHAHAHAHAH
SEND LINK FOR THAT TYPING TEST PLEASE
I've been using O rings for 7 years on my ducky with MX blacks, I love it.

hey does anyone know squashy's outro song is?
Akko Rose Red switches + cherry profile keycaps + o-rings = amazing
I like the quiet, but you can't customize a rubber dome or membrane keyboard like a mech. Plus, if a switch goes bad on a mech, you just replace the switch, not the whole keyboard. Less wasteful.
Me: uses browns AND orings
Like actually cause i do that because i like having no sound or click and I still want a mechanical keyboard
3:26 me, who uses browns with o-ring 😢
me too
what color thock blockers do you use
The ligjtning gets me all the time even after watching this a lot.
Don't know what kind of buggy o rings you bought, but mine don't affact my keeb in any other way than sound 🤔
It’s literally rubber, you can feel a immediate difference if you have nice board that is set up right. Like Lubed, nice case, decent keycaps, ext... and you can feel it even more if you have a Clicky Box switch like Boxed Jades
It will make a difference if you compare them side to side, whether it’s positive or negative is just preference
I only use o-rings because my keyboard is just so damn clacky and it was the only possible solution for me.
Yeah thats the reason you dont buy blues.
are o rings good for my huntsman mini purple switch?
Hey Squashy I think you should review the Logitech G915 a wireless gaming low profile mechanical keyboard. I have one and i fricken love it, I recommend getting the Gl clicky switches.
I like the brown switch whit o-rings :)
@aest.omar Sorry I didn't mean it, my sarcasm is just shit :L
I use red whit no o-rings.
Completely agree. Thought they were needed for a silent board, but when I took them off it felt so much better! Just as quiet without, but a little deeper which is nicer to me.
if they had plastic o rings i would buy them, i love the sound when keycaps bottom out, but i would like the have the shorter travel distance for the keys without compromising the sound when keys are bottomed out
could you file your stems down?
