YIMAGUJRX RUNJRX Keyboard Switch Pads Poron Foam for 61/64/87/100/104/108 Hot Swap Keyboard 120Pcs

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!

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.

For anyone new to the keyboard hobby, it could be confusing what these pads actually do.Do they mute or do they make the keyboard louder?Because it seems like people are reporting both.Well, because it IS both.The foam actually absorb (mute) certain frequencies and reflect (make louder) other frequencies.This is also why some people report little to no effect, while others report significant changes to the sound signature.In simple terms, GENERALLY speaking, the PE pads will make your keyboard sound "poppier."I don't have information on EVA, PORON, and IXPE, but you can basically expect the same kind of action, just in different frequency ranges and different magnitude.I hope this helps a little when thinking about whether to get these.

The media could not be loaded. Well modding my GMMK pro has been a venture and I wanted to add more things to my switches for my keyboard before adding the 1mm pads my switches often wobble and we'll now they don't these help so much! So also if you looking to make you're keyboard more thonky sounded get them currently with 3 layers of tape with Akko cream blues and using red samurai keycaps currently waiting for lube and polycarbonate plate will update when fully finished with the keyboard
