What customers say
The Wuque Studio Ikki68 SMRTfoam is celebrated for dramatically improving the keyboard's acoustic profile. Users consistently report that this drop-in foam perfectly resolves the stock hollowness and pinging resonance. The primary benefit is the transformation of the sound signature into a deeper, satisfying thock or marbly tone, which reviewers describe as dense and premium. This modification significantly elevates the typing experience beyond the original setup. While the initial cost is noted, the consensus is that the resulting acoustic performance offers excellent value for dedicated Ikki68 enthusiasts seeking a high-end sound. It is viewed as a critical, highly recommended upgrade for achieving the desired acoustic aesthetic.
Know before you buy
The SMRTfoam is specifically designed for the Aluminum Ikki68 by Wuque Studio. It is fully compatible with hotswap PCB versions of this model.
Plate foam sits between the PCB and the switch plate to reduce high-pitched ping and stabilize the sound. Case foam is placed at the bottom of the keyboard chassis to fill empty space, which helps dampen hollow echoes and creates a deeper, more solid typing sound.
If you want the most significant transformation in sound, the full Kit is recommended as it addresses both the top and bottom of the keyboard assembly. If you prefer a specific acoustic profile, you can purchase the Plate or Case foam individually to fine-tune the sound to your preference.
The EVA foam provides a subtle, cushioned layer that can make the typing experience feel slightly more dampened and consistent. It effectively absorbs vibrations, which helps eliminate unwanted metallic resonance.
Installation is straightforward and does not require specialized tools. You will simply need to disassemble your Ikki68 case, place the foam components in their respective positions, and reassemble the keyboard.
