Recover Travel Lost from Aftermarket Silencing Rings
Installing Silencing rings on your standard Topre plunger has long been a number 1 modification in the Topre scene. The only problem is that with thicker rings comes less room for the slider, compressing the dome and losing some tactility as well as key travel. These are used to offset the loss of travel caused by aftermarket silencing rings.

Purpose
- Add travel to your sliders.
- Reduced travel is caused by adding Silencing Rings to Black OEM Sliders.
- Reduced travel greater than 0.3 mm (#3) causes reduction in tactility.
Recommended Use
- Best paired with #5 or #7 silencing rings.
- First Time? Simply buy #3 silencing rings which do not reduce tactility.
Installation
- Install these between the housings and domes.
- Adhere the washers to the top of the PCB where each post makes contact.
- Shape and thickness are well designed to fit 1u 2u and spacebar stabs.
- 2u and spacebar stabs will soft land to PCB when this gasket added.
