What stores carry o-rings for mechanical keyboard switches that help reduce typing noise in an office?
$11.99
$3.97
For an office, I'd start with a 1.5 mm, ~60A ring. It'll take the sharp bottom-out clack down without making the keys dramatically mushier. O-rings won't eliminate noise from the switch itself—particularly the click of switches such as Cherry MX Blues—and they don't address case/desk resonance.
If you tell me your keyboard model or switch type (e.g. Cherry MX Brown, Gateron Red, etc.), I can recommend the specific O-ring size/hardness I'd buy.
Saving your office mates (and your own ears) from the clack-clack-clack of a mechanical keyboard is a noble quest! O-rings are great for stopping that bottoming-out noise on MX-style switches.
Several well-known retailers and brands sell sound-dampening o-rings:
Would you like recommendations on durometer hardness ratings (e.g., soft vs. hard o-rings) to figure out which type will give you the quietest result with the best typing feel?
Absolutely. You're looking for mechanical keyboard O-ring dampeners — small rubber or silicone rings that fit around the stems on the underside of your keycaps. They cushion each keypress and help reduce the clacking noise, which can be useful in a shared office.
Here are several retailers selling them, including specialist keyboard stores and options you may be able to pick up locally.
1. Mechanical Keyboards
(Good starting point)
About $3.99–$5.75 for 120 rings, depending on type.
Offers silicone rings in different thicknesses and softness levels, including 2 mm options. A good choice if you want to experiment with how your keyboard feels.
2. Micro Center
Around $9.99
Sells Glorious O-ring dampeners in thin and thick versions. A particularly convenient option if you'd rather shop at a physical computer store.
Micro Center has listed stock at its Tustin, California, store; confirm current inventory before driving there.
3. KBDfans
About $1.90 for a 140-ring pack
A budget-friendly option from a specialist keyboard parts retailer. The listed rings measure 8 × 5 × 1.5 mm, a common size for MX-style keycaps.
4. ENHANCE
Around $14.99 for a kit
Includes 140 silicone O-rings, a keycap puller, and cleaning accessories. Handy if you don't already have a tool for removing keycaps.
Shop the ENHANCE kit store.accessorypower.comwww.moddiy.comparadisearcadeshop.com
5. Paradise Arcade Shop
Listed at $0.20 per ring
Sells individual rubber O-rings designed for Cherry MX switches and compatible stems. Worth considering if you want to try a particular hardness without buying a large assortment.

For a first attempt, I'd choose a pack of 120 silicone O-rings, around 1.5–2 mm thick, designed for MX-style keycaps.
A few things to keep in mind:
If your office noise is a major concern, a keyboard with genuinely silent switches may make a bigger difference than O-rings alone.
One question so I can narrow this down: What keyboard do you have — the brand and model, if you know it? I can help you find O-rings that fit it and are likely to make a noticeable difference.
