Know before you buy
No, this set is specifically precision-cut for the Scarlet keyboard by Maker Keyboards and will not fit other models.
If you are using a gasket gummy worm mount, choose the 2mm foam to prevent unwanted case gaps. If you prefer a firmer typing feel or are using a top-mount configuration, the 3mm foam is a great option.
The 3mm plate foam sits between your switches and the PCB to help dampen high-pitched vibrations and refine the overall sound profile of your keyboard.
Yes, the foam acts as a sound and vibration dampener. The 3mm option provides a more muted, solid feel, while the thinner 2mm option allows for slightly more flex depending on your mounting style.
Installation is straightforward and requires disassembling your keyboard case. Simply place the plate foam on the PCB before installing your switches and position the case foam in the bottom of the chassis before reassembling.
