Know before you buy
While this foam is specifically optimized for the DZ60RGB-WKL and GH60-sized PCBs, it may not align perfectly with the switch cutouts or screw holes of other 60% layouts. We recommend using it only with the intended DZ60RGB-WKL model to ensure a proper fit.
The 3.5mm thickness is designed to fill the gap between the plate and the PCB, providing a snug fit that dampens vibrations. Because it is a precise thickness, ensure your stabilizers are properly seated before securing the plate to avoid any clearance issues.
The adhesive is designed for a secure, semi-permanent hold that keeps the foam in place during assembly. While it is generally clean to remove, we recommend careful placement to avoid the need for repositioning.
The foam primarily targets the acoustic profile by absorbing pinging noises and hollow resonance. It does not significantly alter the bottom-out feel of your switches, though it may provide a slightly more dampened, solid sensation when typing.
No soldering is required. The foam is placed between the plate and the PCB during the assembly process, making it a straightforward addition for anyone building or modifying their keyboard.
