There's also several new 'silenced' switches[1][2] which have dampening built-in by moulding in a softer plastic into the switch stem. I can't stand the feel of o-rings; I use a Zilent switch keyboard for work and it's quieter than a lot of my coworker's non-mechanical/rubber dome boards.

The o-rings also don’t dampen the upward click of the key in release, whereas the dampened switch models do.
