Know before you buy
No, the SMRTfoam is precision-cut specifically for the Leaf65 keyboard. It will not fit other models due to the unique internal layout and mounting points of the Leaf65.
You should choose the configuration that matches your specific Leaf65 PCB. The Hotswap version is designed to accommodate the sockets on a hotswap PCB, while the Solder version is tailored for the layout of a soldered PCB.
Yes, the foam adds a subtle layer of dampening that makes the typing feel slightly more cushioned and less hollow. It helps eliminate unwanted ping and resonance, resulting in a more refined, solid typing experience.
Yes, we offer individual plate and case foam options if you prefer to tune only one area of your keyboard. However, for the most consistent sound profile, using both is recommended.
Installation is straightforward as the foam pieces are pre-cut to fit the Leaf65's internal geometry. You will need to disassemble your keyboard to place the foam, but no permanent modifications or tools are required.
