Can I remove the silencing rings from my HHKB Type-S?

[sac11221]

Hi, I'm quite new to this forum, but I figured this might be a good place to ask.

I currently have an HHKB Pro 2 Type-S, but I've never tried out a non silenced version, how do the two compare? And most importantly, can I just remove the silencing rings on my current board and have the same experience as the normal version?

Was wondering because the silencing part doesn't really matter as much to me anymore ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and from the videos I've seen online the sound on the normal version sounds rather cool. I don't really know about the feel so I'd like to know more about that too, please let me know thx :)
