What customers say
Enthusiasts overwhelmingly praise the Owlab Jelly Epoch SMRTfoam for its acoustic transformation. The proprietary foam excels at dampening, effectively eliminating case ping and resonance to deliver a cleaner, deeper, and more uniform sound profile. Users appreciate the precision engineering, noting the perfect fit within the Jelly Epoch chassis ensures easy installation and optimal performance without compression. This tailored design removes modification guesswork. While reviewers consistently describe the resulting sound as buttery and refined, elevating the keyboard’s acoustics significantly, the premium price point remains a key consideration for many. Despite the cost, the consensus confirms the SMRTfoam is a highly effective, essential upgrade for owners seeking the ultimate typing sound.
Know before you buy
Yes, the foam is available in specific configurations for both Hotswap and Solder PCBs. Be sure to select the version that matches your specific Jelly Epoch build to ensure the cutouts align correctly.
The SMRTfoam is designed to dampen unwanted hollow sounds and vibrations within the case. By filling these gaps with EVA foam, you achieve a more refined, solid acoustic profile and a slightly more cushioned typing feel.
The Plate foam sits between the plate and PCB to soften the bottom-out feel, while the Case foam sits at the bottom of the chassis to reduce echo. If you want a complete acoustic transformation, the Kit is the best choice, but you can opt for individual components if you prefer a specific sound signature.
EVA foam is chosen for its balance of durability and density. While it will definitely change the typing feel by absorbing impact, it is not thick enough to make the board feel 'mushy' or lose the crispness of your switches.
No modifications are necessary. The SMRTfoam is precision-engineered specifically for the Jelly Epoch, meaning it is pre-cut to fit the internal dimensions and mounting points of the board perfectly.
