Know before you buy
This foam is specifically engineered for the Cannon Keys Brutal 60. While it may physically fit other boards, the cut-outs and layout support are tailored to the Brutal 60's PCB, so we cannot guarantee compatibility with other models.
At 0.5mm, the foam is thin enough that it won't significantly alter the bottom-out feel or travel distance of your switches. Its primary purpose is to refine the acoustic profile rather than change the mechanical sensation of the board.
The Anti ESD treatment helps prevent the buildup of electrostatic discharge during installation and daily use. This provides an extra layer of safety for your PCB, protecting sensitive components from potential electrical damage.
The foam features a pre-designed cut-away system that allows you to easily remove sections to match your specific PCB layout. You can simply trim or remove the perforated segments to ensure a perfect fit for your build.
It is designed to dampen harsh high-frequency sounds and create a more consistent, refined acoustic signature. While it does provide acoustic dampening, its main goal is to improve the quality of the sound rather than just muting the volume.
