What customers say
The Rekt 1800 SMRTfoam is highly praised for its exceptional convenience and acoustic improvement in custom keyboards. Users value the perfect drop in fit for 1800 layouts, which eliminates custom cutting and ensures optimal coverage, saving significant time. Acoustically, the material effectively dampens case resonance, producing a deeper, more satisfying thock sound profile. While the quality is excellent, the premium price is a point of consideration for some buyers. However, most agree the guaranteed fit and sound benefits ultimately justify the investment for enthusiasts seeking acoustic perfection in their builds.
Know before you buy
No, this foam is precision-engineered specifically for the Cannon Keys Rekt 1800. It is cut to fit that specific layout and case geometry, so it will not fit other mechanical keyboards.
The 0.5mm thickness is designed to dampen case resonance and refine the acoustic profile of your board. It helps create a more consistent sound signature by absorbing hollow echoes within the case.
Yes, the SMRTfoam is opaque and will block any under-switch or per-key RGB lighting. It is intended for users prioritizing sound profile and component protection over visual illumination.
The Anti-ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) properties provide an extra layer of safety for your keyboard's PCB. It helps protect sensitive internal components from static buildup during assembly or daily use.
Installation is straightforward as it uses a lay-on attachment method. You simply place the foam inside the case during your keyboard build process; no adhesive or complex tools are required.
