What customers say
Customers consistently express high satisfaction with the KBDFans DZ60 Sound Dampening Case Foam, hailing it as a highly effective and essential modification for 60% mechanical keyboards, particularly those utilizing tray-mount cases like the DZ60 or Tofu60. The primary praise centers on its remarkable ability to transform the acoustic profile of a keyboard, effectively eliminating the undesirable hollow, resonant sounds often associated with empty case space. Reviewers frequently report a significant reduction in pinging noises and an overall shift towards a more desirable "thocky" or muted, premium sound signature. Many users describe the change as night and day, elevating their typing experience considerably. Beyond its acoustic performance, the foam receives accolades for its precise fitment. Users appreciate that it's custom-cut for the DZ60 PCB and compatible 60% cases, ensuring a snug fit around screw posts and USB cutouts without requiring any modification. Installation is consistently described as straightforward and hassle-free, often just a simple drop-in process. While some users note a subtle change in key feel due to the dampening, this is almost universally perceived as a positive enhancement, contributing to a more solid and substantial typing sensation. The consensus is that for a relatively inexpensive accessory, the KBDFans DZ60 case foam delivers exceptional value, making it a highly recommended upgrade for anyone looking to refine their 60% keyboard's sound profile and overall feel.
Know before you buy
This specific foam is precision-cut for the DZ60 Solder PCB. While it may physically fit inside the case, the cutouts for the switches and stabilizers are optimized for the solder version and may not align correctly with hot-swap sockets.
No, the foam is designed to be held in place by the pressure between the PCB and the bottom of the case. It sits securely once the keyboard is fully assembled.
The 2.0mm thickness is specifically calibrated to fill the gap between the PCB and the case floor without causing structural tension. You should not experience any difficulty closing your case, provided your internal components are seated correctly.
This foam is specifically engineered for the internal dimensions of the Tofu60 and KBDFans 5° Aluminum cases. While it might fit other 60% cases, we cannot guarantee a perfect fit or acoustic performance in non-specified housings.
The primary purpose of this Poron foam is to absorb hollow resonance and vibrations, resulting in a deeper, more muted sound profile. It does not significantly alter the tactile feel or bottom-out force of your switches.
