How do you make a key float?

~ Holding your cork, attach a small eyelet screw to the ends of the wine cork (you'll only need one if you're not going to attach a decorative charm). ~ Voila! Simply secure your 2-3 keys on the key chain and remember, the more items/keys on the key chain, the less buoyancy the cork will provide!

Easy Floating Keys ~ The Southern Scoop’s Travel Tip of the Month

With Easy Floating Keys, you’ll never go apoplectic when you get on a boat and see the key float on the keys in the ignition again. Furthermore, with just a few things you can find around the house, some creativity, and (not too many) your keys, you’re going to wow your friends and family with your DIY skills! Maybe you have a favorite wine? Maybe a Brunello de Montalcino from the Tuscany wine region, or 19 Crimes from Australia, you have thousands of aesthetic choices for your new floating key chain! Perhaps you want to add some decorative charms for personality? A birthstone color? Ah yes, the reasons we love crafts and DIY! Here are some additional ideas for decorative charms or other ornaments to add!

Without further ado! What you’ll need:

~ A cork from your favorite wine bottle!

~ Small eyelets with a pointed, threaded end

~ Two small key rings

~ Decorative charm(s) *Optional*

Preparation:

As always lay out all of your materials on the table and take inventory. Also, ensure you exercise caution when screwing the eyelets into the cork, the threads and pointed tip can be sharp. Let’s get started! ~ Holding your cork, attach a small eyelet screw to the ends of the wine cork (you’ll only need one if you’re not going to attach a decorative charm).

~ Connect your key rings to the eyelets

~ Voila! Simply secure your 2-3 keys on the key chain and remember, the more items/keys on the key chain, the less buoyancy the cork will provide!

How many O-rings should I put on my keyboard?

If you have the crossbars on your keycaps and are using ~1.2-to-1.5mm o-rings, a single o-ring per keycap should do the trick. If your keycaps lack the crossbar supports, you may need a thicker o-ring or may need to stack two o-rings per keycap.

So I just received some clear o rings; Am I suppose to put two or just one per key caps? I currently have blues; and so far I can tell the sound is muffled a bit however the travel is somewhat the same. Best regards, thx. By no means: just try one ring, then two and use whatever number of rings YOU PERSONALLY prefer with your own favorite switches. Rely on your own feelings of best comfort: some people are light typers, some are heavy typers, some like to use whole travel distance to the very "bottom", some like to reduce it a little, or more than just a little.Some enjoy hard "landings" while bottoming out, others prefer it to be soft.Choose your own setup and be happy with it
