  • @berg_berg
    @berg_berg Рік тому +46

    Seeing that there is tape around the switch housing, it appears to be cushioning the bottom out of the switch thus muting the sound. The tape mod would prob sound very similar if it had a gap around the switch.

      wrong actually, it reduces hollowness 0over all so theres n0o echo. i did this with my own keyboard (250 aud) and it is quieter and thocky whilst having a gap around the switch.

    I ended up using the foam that came in my Keychron V2's package, so I got foam for free. It fits a little tighter than most keyboard foams so it might dampen more, but I'll have to try that tape damping as well!

      I just got silicon to do this actually.
      How did you do it exactly? Just a very small amount? I'm afraid it will cause the key to not bottom out my hitting the switch. But being that just a layer of painters tape works I probably only need a very thin layer of silicone.
      Might put a thicker layer, pull it out after it sets and then cut away near the stabs and switch, but then worried it won't stick and will fall out, so think maybe hot glue to attach it.
      Should then be removable but not fall out.

    I filled my spacebar with crafting foam (the one preschool teachers use that costs like a dollar for a 10 sheet pack) and glued with like 5 layers of painters tape and it suddenly sounds like an expensive spacebart. I highly recommend

    I think the same principles that apply to giving keyboards a thocky-er sound would apply here. @Keybored does a really good job going in to the science. But essentially you're trying to change the vibrational qualities of the keys. I am over simplifying it, but adding more weight is one way to do it. The foam in this case may just be too light to alter it. Maybe...

  • @kenvilla7248
    @kenvilla7248 11 місяців тому

    With that comparison you have to peel the plastic to reveal the adhesive of the foam and press down between the crevices so its stuck to it. It needs to make contact to dampen sound. Made a difference for me (KBD spacebar Foam)

    i actally just tried this with my space bar and if youre looking for something that dampens like harsh sound it helps a lot the tape just haveing one on each side helps with the sound
    it might feel a little weird but i kinda like this on my cheap budget board i wouldnt do this for anything that has a good signature sound already

    What in the world was that foam? I just cut a peice of foam from the packaging my keyboard came in and stuck it in my split spacebar. Cleared the hollow pingy sounds right up. I did also put moleskin tape on top of the foam though, so maybe that's what made a diference.
