Timestamps are in the description if you want to compare sound tests on your own or skip to certain sections. At 1:28, ignore "How Does Tape Mod Affect Sound". It should say PE Foam Mod. Foam: amzn.to/3lmLhAp This is not antistatic. I didn't have any issues whatsoever, daily driving 3 boards with it installed. With how little static electricity would be accumulated before it enters the board, I doubt there is any risk at all. Additionally, modern PCBs are incredibly resistant to static, however I would still avoid black foam, as that indicates the presence of carbon, and alongside it, conductivity. *Ranger629* adds that *YOU SHOULD NOT ATTEMPT THIS MOD ON A SOLDER PCB*. The heat from the soldering process can melt the foam and thus damage the PCB. Thank you StylishRabbit and ura for the research guidance!

I believe the more stiff the panel/surface the sound bounces to, the less it will likely to get dampened but just redirected instead. Thats probably the reason why acoustic sound dampeners are often included or combined with flexible materials like cloth. The sound bouncing to a flexible(ex: cloth/cotton/soft foam) surface would likely dampen more than bouncing to a harder/stiffer(solid plastic/metal) surface.

Wait, you updated the description to include anti-static foam? Although it is probably fine to use, it's actually safer to use regular, non-conductive PE foam. Anti-static foam is not meant to be used with electronics while they're plugged in, it's meant to dissipate static shocks away from the electronics it is wrapping. It is conductive (albeit barely so), and therefore somewhat risks shocks transferring from the case to the PCB. You should probably keep the foam link as the regular, non-antistatic foam.

Just a FYI everyone is wrong about the reason for the PE giving the extra pop it has nothing to do with filtering sound or material used. It has to do with compressing the switch pins into the PCB so there is a buffer for when downstroke vibrations come down they spread into the PCB. Don't believe me try the swagkeys or KBD foam with the larger cutouts to where you are not compressing the switch pins into material and they actually mute the switch instead of making it louder. I used Glad press and seal a few weeks ago (3 layers) to the top of my think 6.5 and it pops like no other and even retains switch sound signature.

My keeb has a metal plate on top and nothing inbetween that plate and the PCB, and the "ping" this creates is killing me. I already added tape to the back of the PCB and also EVA foam into the case, but it feels as if these modifications made the ping even worse. Would a PE foam sheet on top of the PCB help fix this issue? I assume the sound bounces off the PCB and back to the metal plate and this creates the ping sound.

I think you should include a disclaimer that the PE Foam Mod should only be attempted with a hotswap keyboard. As Hiney has raised up on multiple streams, doing the PE Foam Mod on a soldered PCB can potentially damage your PCB. The high heat from the soldering iron can transfer the heat up the switch prongs and melt the PE Foam. The melted Foam can then flow into the PCB contact points where essentially create insulation between the contacts and ultimately causing the PCB to not work. *Addressing people who potentially will say: "I did it with a soldering iron." Sure, you did it and nothing happened doesn't mean nothing will happen to the next guy. Plastic/foams melt when exposed to high heat. They leave a black layer of gunk behind after they have melted and that is what can potentially cause contact issues between the PCB and switch.

This mod is revolutionary especially for people who can't afford expensive boards. It elevates their "budget" boards like gmmk pro to other high end boards and at the end of the day, if you're happy with it, nobody cares or is judging

The argument is a bit pretentious, but it's fairly true. The higher end of the community sees foam as a sort of crutch, being an "easy way out" of improving sound over actually taking the time and effort to prototype a case that sounds good without foam. When budget becomes a limitation, this argument is nullified because there simply isn't high end design in lower price points. And of course, you are building your keyboard for yourself and not for others, so it doesn't matter. If you like the mod, by all means do it.

Beginner boards often are also referred to as "budget" or "in-stock", as a beginner has likely not been in the hobby long enough to have participated in groupbuys and is typically not as willing to spend upwards of 200-300 on a single keeb. Like for instance my new model f is part of an old and ongoing groupbuy that has been around for upwards of 4 years in the purchase phase and only just this year has started shipping boards to their early or high paying backers. Beginners are also more likely to experiment with their early boards, for me I started on modding a Corsair K68 a couple years ago after discovering the comfort of a mechanical switch versus any random apple keyboard or Razer Ornata, the keyboard that coincidently got me into keyboards after I watched Chyrosran22's review and saw him tear my beloved beauty a new one after having silently listened to his magic voice for a year or so and figured being into keyboards to be sort of a vintage thing like LGR. Honestly it's a bit odd for me to see it go as mainstream as it has. I still like the Razer Ornata oddly enough, it does what it sets out to do very well and I would say it was the second best rubber dome keyboard I ever owned, after my HHKB.

Every time I participate in one I'm telling myself "this is the last time" and then I see another shiny keycap set and my wallet cries. Still waiting on a set of 8010 keycaps and my Heavy Grail I both bought at the start of this year. Obviously there is no practical point of me spending a thousand dollars modding a 200+ dollar keyboard, I simply enjoy keyboards and respect the work of many keyboard designers enough to fork over my hard earned money. The good part about this hobby is any penny that is spent on it is at least able to be recouped at the mid and high end, if not profited on with time and patience. I don't mean to be elitist as the subreddit provides enough of that, but if you are into keyboards it is okay to splurge a bit for your favorite looking boards as to me that is the only difference between a 100 dollar keyboard and a 1000 dollar one, as someone who owns a few keyboards at this point to where my mom started worrying I'm a hoarder.

It's an easy enough way to instantly change the external environment of the keyboard, and very under-explored in my opinion. (Perhaps another video focused on desk material :3? Although that one will be harder perhaps. I have a glass-and-metal desk and the entire desk pings when typing. T. T So I use a custom padded fabric deskmat)

Edit: This makes the keyboard sound exactly how nearLucid described. Doesn't matter how the keyboard sounds originally. This mod brings it to a more neutral "creamy" sound profile. While it does sound pretty good, it's definitely not for every keyboard. It should help a lot more with fully metal keyboards that have very little dampening the first place. Tape I found makes almost no difference. Of course the obvious disclaimer that doing this makes bending pins much easier, so careful with switch installation. Do not try this with soldered switches. It will 100% melt the foam and leave a very gooey, sticky mess.

You mentioned that it was difficult to predict how it would make the board sound. In my opinion, it actually makes boards sound mostly the same. Since it makes low pitched builds sound higher and higher pitched builds sound lower, it brings everything to the middle, and everything kind of sounds the same because any extremes are normalized. It kind of has a reputation of making "any build sound good".

for what i´ve tried so far will all foam mods, is for sure that part of the sound just bounce straight back causing the overall sound louder, is a nightmare in certain cases with switches that already are loud, will not name few of them but that´s for sure. In other case, the tape mod is the one that more bounce back have, since is just a solid later of material, for how sounds works, having diferente materials, in plate/case reduce the vibrations over typing, so for example alu case+alu plate is not the best solution out there, havig an alu case+with pom plate or viceversa make the best sound wihout needs of any kind of foam so far, also the last foam in the bottom case, will do two thing, first will absorbs the bounce, so less echo in the sound, as any other foarm in a recording studio, also having non flat surface could help, also still bounce the sound, having less travel distance allways will make the sounds bounced to be louder. Another var that affect the sound more than foam is the keycaps itself, when the sound it bounced it still keep part in the bottom keys, and it act like a bell, the sound can vary based mostly in the thickness of the keycaps, since most of them have the same shape at end. also the size of the cap can affect the sound, that´s why the usual big spacebars sounds more noisy and bad in general compared with other caps, also, that´s depending on the case itself, some cases have more distance from the case to the bottom of the pcb, in the R4, making these row sound more thocky in comparison, if you can relate, dispersion in high pich notes is more in short distance than low frecuencies, causing the bounce to sound more low. That´s happen with any sound in general, from acoustics. You know that the base itself is a resonance box, don´t need any foam at all, just good design, and diferent mats, to avoid annoying vibrations out there.

you said the pe mod didn't make the spacebar sound deeper, but you didn't put any pe foam on the spacebar area

I think you're explanation of the PE foam is correct. its definitely narrowing the sound of the switch down which is why all switches start sounding the same with this mod. This was a really well done video!

Lol wish I saw this video before pe foam modding both my alt keebs. My bakeneko now sounds nearly identical to my Vega and my gmmk pro isn't too far off 😂😂😂 Sadly, it's very possible I'll probably still pe foam mod my next keeb even armed with your advice...the stuff's like crack.

Just curious, but what foam is safe to use: anti-static or non anti-static? I saw some people on reddit have problems with this mod, saying that it messed up their pcbs.

Great video. Great tips. BUT DUDE Cut it out with those random flashing white dots on the screen. I swear my phone display was crapping out! Scary stuff.

Dude really nice video. I may have to discuss with you some keeb questions I have for some of my upcoming videos. I also like your editing methodology for the sound comparisons.
