Muirium,

Did we go shiny side up or down for the dampening rings? Also, are you testing those Topre PBT spacebars for Matt3o, or have they started shipping?

@TheNacho: I made a terrible .m4a recording of the silenced NT with my phone, although it appears DT doesn't allow that file type to be uploaded. You can find it and a quick write up at geekhack.org in the keyboard section.

Installed my second set on an RF 87u uniform 55gm. A little frustrated with the fact that the left control key slider doesn't have a base to accommodate ring :( Otherwise, worked perfectly. I think I prefer the feel of the NovaTouch with the rings. Looks like I may be transferring rings from 55gm to...

The waiting time got even worse now. Any chance for a sound sample? I thought about doing a recording, but only after I had taken most the board apart. Seemed useless to do a post mod recording without a pre mod recording. I've also never done a recording before. Having said all that, I'll take a s...

Completed ring installation on a NovaTouch and it is glorious!! Hypersphere, I can't thank you enough for putting the time and effort into getting these made. I now need to decide whether I'm going to install the second set I purchased on my 55gm 87u or the 45gm 87u. F*ck it, maybe I'll just by anot...

Phew, got the last 2 90 ring sets. This is a more limited run than I expected.

On a more constructive note, matt3o seems to have a good relationship and experience with Massdrop. This sort of thing seems tailor made for them. It may be worthwhile to reach out and ask him how difficult this would be to set up through Massdrop.

Any updates on how that production run performed? I'm close to trying to punch out some rings for myself, but if this is imminent, I'll hold off.

I'm been searching for a donor board to silence my 55g Realforce for quite some time now. This would be fantastic!

I'm in for 3 sets of 87.
