What customers say
This foam set is overwhelmingly praised for dramatically improving the acoustic profile of the KBDPAD mkii. Users consistently report that it effectively eliminates case resonance, hollowness, and high pitched ping, resulting in a desirable muted and full sound. A key highlight is the precision cutting; the foam fits the case and PCB contours perfectly, ensuring a simple drop in installation with no modification needed.

Customers view this as a near mandatory, high impact upgrade for achieving superior typing acoustics.
Know before you buy
Yes, this foam set is designed to fit both the solder and hotswap PCB variants of the KBDPAD mkii without issue.
The foam helps dampen high-pitched resonance and hollow sounds, resulting in a more solid, muted, and consistent typing experience.
You can use either piece individually, but installing both provides the most comprehensive acoustic dampening for the KBDPAD mkii.
The 4mm plate foam is precision-cut to fit around your switches and stabilizers, so it should not cause any clearance issues during assembly.
No adhesive is required. The foam pieces are designed to be held in place by the pressure of the keyboard assembly once the case is screwed shut.
