What customers say
The KBDfans SMRTfoam is overwhelmingly praised as an essential acoustic upgrade for the KBD67 Lite keyboard. Users consistently report that this proprietary foam effectively eliminates the inherent hollowness of the plastic case. The sound profile transforms dramatically, moving from a pingy noise to a dense, satisfying thock. Its custom cut ensures a perfect drop in fit, making installation quick and hassle free even for beginners. While the initial cost might seem high, the consensus is that the acoustic improvement delivers exceptional value. Reviewers feel this component makes the KBD67 Lite sound like a much more expensive, high end custom board. It is considered a mandatory component for optimizing the typing experience.
Know before you buy
Yes, the SMRTfoam kit is specifically engineered to fit the dimensions and mounting points of the KBD67 Lite series, ensuring a precise fit for both the plate and case.
The foam is designed to dampen high-pitched resonance and eliminate the hollow, metallic ping often found in plastic keyboard cases. You will notice a deeper, more muted, and consistent sound profile with every keystroke.
Installation is straightforward and requires basic disassembly of your keyboard. You simply place the case foam at the bottom of the housing and the plate foam between the PCB and the plate before reassembling.
Because the foam is relatively thin and flexible, it will have a negligible impact on the typing feel. It primarily serves to fill empty space to improve acoustics rather than significantly stiffening the board.
You can use either piece individually, but using both together provides the most comprehensive sound dampening. We recommend installing both to achieve the intended acoustic profile.
