Know before you buy
No, the SMRTfoam is precision-cut specifically for the geometry and internal layout of the Smith + Rune Iron165 r2. It will not fit other keyboards.
You can purchase them individually or as a complete kit. The Plate foam sits between the plate and PCB to dampen switch noise, while the Case foam fills the bottom of the chassis to reduce hollow resonance.
Yes, the Plate foam is designed to be versatile and supports both 6.25U and 7U stabilizer configurations, ensuring a proper fit regardless of your chosen layout.
EVA foam is a dense, resilient material that effectively absorbs high-frequency vibrations. Using it will result in a more muted, dampened sound profile and a slightly firmer, more consistent bottom-out feel.
No, the foam is engineered to accommodate standard Cherry PCB mount stabilizers without causing interference or affecting the stability of your keys.
