Keyboard Switch Pads Poron Foam for 61/64/87/100/104/108 Hot Swap Keyboard

these are pretty simple. .5mil poron foam pads that go under your keyboard key switches. Aside from damping the key switch sounds they don't do much, but, if you can't get them off the sheets that's a fail. These came right off just as expected and I've noticed on some others that I've gotten because these are cut on a die punch setup if the dies aren't sharp they will leave behind hole punches still stuck inside the foam which while unlikely to cause issues could get into the switch and cause a failure if the leg doesn't make contact with the switch inside the switch socket. These are nice and clean, no leftovers that didn't get cleaned out. They fit well and sound great. At least I say the sound great, they helped the keyboard I used them in sound great ;) Since these are really not a wear item they should last the life of the keyboard. They may not seem like they do a lot but they most certainly do help the acoustics of the keyboard. I will be buying more of them. At about ten cents per pad they're a decent value, and cheap mod for your keyboard assuming that you have hot swappable switches. If you have a soldered pcb, these won't be of much use.

I hadn't used many switch pads but decided to give these a try, and I was blown away by the quality! The packaging is a simple yet cool looking thick plastic silver holographic bag, each of the pads is stuck to a sheet of thin plastic film which makes removing them quite easy, and they even include a set of tweezers to easily remove (and apply?) the pads. I didn't end up using the tweezers and instead the following method to apply the pads, in case it helps anyone:1. Remove pad from film (with finger or tweezers)2. Put the pad on a SWITCH (non-stick side touching the switch)3. Press the switch into the PCB (in the desired location, obviously)Once all pads were easily applied using this method I was able to place all the switches and solder (unless using hotswap) and finish the keyboard's assembly.I compared using and not using these pads on two identical keyboards (same case, pcb, switches, plate, caps [both GMK], stabs) and I can honestly say that there's a difference, but it's not a HUGE difference. The pads make the switch EVERY SO SLIGHTLY deeper and less "clacky", but unless you're doing an A/B comparison I doubt you'd really notice. That said I will NOT be installing these under my switches on future keyboards unless I'm feeling extra snooty but I WILL be using these pads under my stabilizers! These pads are a super cheap alternative to stabilizer pads (since you can cut these pads up) even if they aren't the same shape as typical stab pads, and I think they do a fine job as stab pads (and switch pads if I'm picky).Pros:Excellent packagingComes with tweezersExcellent foamHas a positive effect on the keyboard's sound (albeit very minor)Can easily be cut up and used for stab padsPrice/valueConsDoesn't affect the keyboard's sound THAT muchConclusionThe price is right here, so if you really crave that padded switch sound or you're looking for cheap and plentiful stab pads (if you're willing to cut these pads up) then get these in your cart ASAP!

thank you.

I installed these without even taking the plate out, which is nice since that in itself takes time on the Keychron C2. It's time consuming, but these pads are sturdy and you won't ruin them if you mess up and have to reapply them.The sound difference was very minor for me, but this depends on your switches and what mods you already have done on your board. Others may hear a greater shift in tone.What I did notice is that the pads removed a hollowness that I noted on keys that didn't have the pads. Basically, this was a faint echo that you can hear if you focus on an individual key.People mentioned some difference in feeling. On my steel plate, I noted that there may be some difference. If you mash in several keys, pushing down hard, it feels slightly more cushioned on the keys with the pads. You won't notice it in normal use, but it may be of benefit over time. Don't expect it to make it feel like you have a gasket mount.Also, my switches stay on the PCB better now and don't pull out with the ASA caps when I remove them.Visually, as expected, the keys that have the pads installed will be ever so slightly taller than those that don't.

Used it to build my own keyboard, and Im so happy how it turned out !

I used these on a PCB in my Iqunix OG80. They did make the keys sound a bit more bass-y.However, installing them was quite the time suck.. I found it relaxing after finding a good method.They include a small tool/tweezer to help with install. What I did was expand the tweezer inside the inner circle/poron pad. Then I would line it up in the center mounting post on the PCB, before getting it in place and pushing down.

Excellent - it slightly mutes the keys and makes them sound more crisp with less reverb, especially on bottom outs. The pitch also gets lowered slightly. Overall, highly recommended. One finally effect is that it helps center the switch pins into the hot-swap holes so you're less likely to bend a pin.Quite easy to use - it comes with a pair of tweezers so you can position the pads accurately on your PCB. It can be a little difficult to position the first couple of them. My suggestion is to grip the pad from the bottom, then focus on aligning the left leg hole and then ensure the hotspot contacts are visible through the appropriate holes. Once the contacts are properly aligned through the switch holes, press down on the pad to secure it.

The adhesive works well even when there is a little lube on the board. It’s also easy enough to remove if you want. Some people said the holes are small and hard to line up but I didn’t have an issue. There were times where it looked a little misaligned but the switch still went in.

音がほんの僅かにmushに変わって、ソケットにも収まりがよいです！もう大体満足してるけどもうちょっと…というときに刺さるグッズかも！うちの場合の音の変わり方はそうでした。これだけで解決！みたいな丸投げに答えてくれるような、大きな変化は感じられなかったです。録音しないとわからないような違い。あんまり調音グッズに走ると、初めから音が調整された高級キーボード買ったのと値段が変わらなくなってきて沼なので、そのへんの家庭にあるものを使って音を良くするDIY動画も参考にしつつ？ジップロックで密閉してくれてたり、ピンセットがついてきているのが親切でした♥️先にスイッチ側にフォームを乗せてピンを通してから、ソケットに差し込むときれいにはまりやすいです。

Used these pe foams for a silent keyboard build. Does the job !

キーボードの消音のために購入しましたが、効果が高くてビックリしました！

音の質を変えたくて貼ったが期待以上に分かりやすい効果は感じにくい。しかし音に拘るなら最終的なブラッシュアップで使ってみるのはアリ。タクタイルスイッチとこのフォームの組み合わせは割りかしアリだと思った。

正直に言うとそこまで大きく変化はしませんでもすこしでも静音軸をより静音にしたい場合はおすすめです変化は感じられると思います
