What customers say
The TX Keyboards EO-87 SMRTfoam is widely considered an essential acoustic upgrade. Customers consistently highlight the proprietary foam's exceptional density and open cell structure for eliminating common case issues like hollowness and high frequency ping. The precision cut ensures a perfect fit, maximizing dampening contact without interfering with internal components. Users report a dramatic shift toward a deeper, more satisfying sound profile, often described as thocky or creamy. While priced above generic alternatives, the consensus is that the superior acoustic results fully justify the premium cost. This foam is frequently cited as the single most impactful modification for maximizing the sound quality of the EO-87 chassis.
Know before you buy
No, this foam is specifically precision-cut for the EO-87 TKL chassis by TX Keyboards. Using it with other models will likely result in a poor fit and may interfere with internal components.
The Plate foam sits between the PCB and the plate to dampen switch-related noise, while the Case foam is placed at the bottom of the chassis to eliminate hollow resonance. The Kit includes both for a comprehensive acoustic treatment.
EVA foam provides a slightly softer, more cushioned bottom-out feel compared to an empty case. It effectively absorbs high-frequency vibrations, resulting in a deeper, more refined sound signature.
Installation is straightforward and non-destructive, but it does require disassembling your EO-87 keyboard. You will need to remove the case screws and separate the top and bottom housing to place the foam.
While the foam significantly reduces case ping and hollow resonance, it will not make your keyboard silent. It is designed to improve the acoustic quality of your switches rather than eliminate sound entirely.
