I wonder how I can reduce the noise, though. A 5mm shock absorbing mat beneath helps to some extent (cheap one, like $2 USD), but apparently that's not enough.
- jagger27 8y agoI have silencing rings on my Realforce and my HHKB and I haven't looked back. It doesn't affect the key feel at all since it only silences the upstroke, where the slider hits the housing. They're fairly cheap on AliExpress or eBay. Not as easy to install as Cherry silencing rings but absolutely worth the effort.

- nerdponx 8y agoOpen the case and put a slab of neoprene or something fancy like Sorbothane in there. You can also get silencing rings, and lubricate the sliders with a thick lubricant that won't run down onto the PCB.
- DavidVoid 8y agoI can highly recommend hypersphere's silencing rings but they are pretty expensive so it's probably more worthwhile to check out the cheaper ones made by KBDfans or KeyClack. Here's a video demonstrating the before and after sound. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdqYnI55kVw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdqYnI55kVw
