Know before you buy
Select the Gasket version if you are using the bottom gasket mount configuration, or choose the O-ring version if you are building your keyboard with an O-ring mount. Choosing the version that matches your specific mounting style ensures the foam fits correctly without interfering with the board's flex.
Yes, the included case foam is specifically designed to fill the internal cavity of the Babylon keyboard. By occupying that empty space, it effectively dampens case ping and hollow resonance for a more solid, refined typing sound.
The plate foam is 3mm thick, which is standard for providing optimal acoustic dampening between the plate and PCB. The case foam is 2mm thick, though a 3mm option is available if you prefer a tighter fit inside the case.
No, this set is precision-cut specifically for the Babylon keyboard by Trailblazer Keyboards. The cutouts and dimensions are tailored to the Babylon's internal layout and will not fit other keyboard models.
The foam is designed for easy alignment and straightforward installation. Because it is custom-cut for the Babylon, it should drop into place without requiring any trimming or modifications.
