Vibration isolation: Sorbothane excels at isolating vibrations and preventing them from transferring between surfaces. In a mechanical keyboard, it can effectively dampen the vibrations generated by keypresses, resulting in a quieter typing experience. As you can see, there are ton of different benefits. It’s all up to you to decide if this mod is worth or not and how much you’re willing to invest in the foam. How to Add Damping Foam To Your Keyboard Viscoelastic properties: Sorbothane is a viscoelastic material, meaning it exhibits both viscous (fluid-like) and elastic (solid-like) properties. This combination allows it to dissipate energy and absorb vibrations effectively.

Anti-vibration mats: Placing an anti-vibration mat or dampening material beneath your keyboard can help absorb vibrations and prevent them from transferring to the desk or table, reducing noise and resonance. Lubing: Lubricating your switches and stabilizers can reduce friction and, in turn, lower the noise produced during keypresses. Properly lubed switches can also create a smoother and more pleasant typing experience. Installing dampening foam can be a precise task, so take your time during the process. Rushing can lead to mistakes or suboptimal results.Beyond foam, there are other methods you can explore for sound dampening your keyboard. You're not tied down to one foam mod solution; you're free to experiment. Yes. While it may take much more time and effort, you may do the PE foam mod to keyboards with solder-only PCBs. Just make sure to use extra caution as the heat of the soldering iron can melt the foam and cause connectivity issues between the switch and the PCB. Can You Apply the PE Foam To Keyboard Cases? Usually, you just need to remove your keycaps and find all of the screws that hold the PCB into the case. Then remove all of the screws. Case modifications: Modifying the keyboard case itself can also impact noise levels. Reinforcing or dampening the keyboard case with materials like dampening foam can reduce noise. High density: It has a relatively high density, which contributes to its excellent sound-dampening capabilities. The density of Sorbothane foam can vary depending on the specific application and requirements.

Soundproofing curtains and panels: Specialized curtains and panels designed for soundproofing can be hung on windows and walls to help reduce noise from outside sources.If you need to trim or cut the foam, use sharp scissors or a utility knife. Ensure clean, straight edges to maintain a neat appearance and proper fit. There are many various varieties of foam available, so we’ll discuss them all and determine which is the best. Best Sound Dampening Foams for Mechanical Keyboards 1. Sorbothane Vibration isolation: Neoprene foam effectively isolates and absorbs vibrations, preventing them from transferring between surfaces. In mechanical keyboards, it helps dampen the vibrations generated by keypresses, reducing the transmission of noise. Sound dampening in mechanical keyboards is essential for creating a quieter and more comfortable typing experience, reducing noise disturbances, enhancing focus and productivity, and showing consideration for others in shared spaces.

Second, like any other keyboard modification, it carries the risk of damaging your keyboard and its parts. The switches are one of the most easily damaged parts because of their thin metal pins, which may be bent or broken when removing from or installing on the keyboard.Silicone foam dampeners: Similar to O-rings, silicone dampeners can be placed under the keycaps to cushion keypresses and reduce the noise generated when the keycaps hit the switch housing. Customizable: Neoprene foam is easy to cut and shape, allowing users to tailor the sound-dampening solution to their specific keyboard layouts and designs. This flexibility makes it a versatile choice for customization. In some cases, the sound improvements are drastic, but in other cases, it might only make a little difference. Soundproofing accessories: Consider using soundproofing accessories like desk mats or room dividers to help isolate your workspace and reduce noise disturbances in shared environments. If your board has standoffs to attach your PCB to Plate, assemble it now. If your board uses switches to hold the Plate/PCB assembly together, prepare to assemble your switches as usual. You may also now attach your Plate-Mount stabilizers to the plate. Again, it may be easiest to install corner switches first to maintain alignment.

While white PE Foam is certainly the economical choice, white PE foam also can and will generate static electricity under the right conditions. This could cause you to have a short-circuit and zap your PCB, resetting it at best and completely frying it at worst.You won’t get as good of a sound reduction as filling your keyboard full of sorbothane or neoprene, but you’ll see a significant improvement. With the increasing popularity of custom keyboards, many keyboard enthusiasts have developed different ways to improve their keyboards. The most popular mod that has become almost mandatory in almost keyboard build is the use of dampening materials. This mod originated as a DIY solution but was adapted in many retail mechanical keyboards. The final mod in this list is one of the most important for keyboards that sound hollow, reverberate when typed on (common with aluminum cases), or ring out with spring ping from your switches. While it will not solve spring ping on its own (only lubing will do that), it can make a drastic improvement to that and any hollowness or noise throughout the case. Reduced key vibrations: In addition to noise reduction, sound dampening can also help reduce the vibrations produced by keypresses. This can lead to a more comfortable and less tiring typing experience, especially during extended typing sessions. On my RK84 for example, I didn’t have to remove my switches. I simply took a tiny screwdriver and took the PCB (with switches attached) off of the keyboard case.
