Know before you buy
No, this set is precision-cut specifically for the Vortex Model M SSK Kit. It will not fit other mechanical keyboards due to the unique layout and internal dimensions of the SSK.
Poron is a high-density, semi-closed cell foam that provides a softer, more cushioned bottom-out feel. It absorbs vibrations and reduces harshness, resulting in a more refined and dampened typing experience.
The switch pads sit between the switch housing and the plate to eliminate unwanted rattle and ping. They help create a more consistent, muted sound profile across every key on your board.
No, this is a non-permanent, drop-in modification. The foam pieces are designed to be placed inside the case and under the plate without the need for adhesives or permanent alterations.
Yes, the combination of plate foam and bottom case foam is designed to fill empty internal cavities. This effectively reduces hollow echoes and produces a deeper, more solid acoustic signature.
