You can also use these o-rings by putting them on each leg instead of the stem. Feels pretty much the same.
I've used JSpacers in some retooled Cherry Blues since Nov. 2017 having just pulled them out to try Clears and True springs in the retooled housings (awesome if you like Jailhouse BTW if a little heavy). I had no change in feel or obvious degradation in that time. At first with a very hard press (WASD mostly) they would get pinched and start to drag or click but that stopped happening.
I also have been using 002 buna nitrile o-rings in Gateron stems since March 2017 and after a few broke and were replaced I've had no issues.
oh no, wait!

You want these. try a pair on each side of the pin, on those lil' stems - feels amazing! I just did 190 for several keyboards. it sucked.
I like the side rings the most for the best bump. actuates right when I press it down. Also, these:

Are an amazing option for opening switches FAST. way better than those awful tools mechanicalkeyboards.com sells. these take me about 5 seconds to have a switch cap off per switch.
Jailhouses are a massive timesink, but the feels are worth it. Maybe. I started on browns but they just didn't have the tactility compared to blues. Nothing else did... until I bought an anne pro with jailhouse greens on a whim. Then I broke it, jailhoused my work keyboard, and then jailhoused.... another anne pro. Sigh. I was gonna start making the hell out of keycaps. someday soon. After I ruin all my boards.
I'd also highly recommend one step at a time - desolder em all. Pop each one open. Pop each clicker off the stem. Pop on your orings. Pop em back together, all at once. Really helped me hone in on an efficient method.
Technically not keyboard/switches/keys, but does anyone know if there's an actual difference in feeling between Jailhousing with Jspacers or just using these O-rings that get linked? Don't know if anyone has actually tried both
