Know before you buy
No, the foam is designed to accommodate RGB lighting. It features cutouts that allow light to pass through clearly, so you won't lose your backlighting effects.
This foam is specifically engineered for the DZ60RGB-ANSI and ISO layouts. While it fits the standard GH60 form factor, it may not align perfectly with the switch cutouts or mounting points of other 60% PCBs.
The 3mm thickness is optimized to provide a snug fit between the PCB and the plate. While it adds a slight amount of tension during assembly, it is standard for Poron foam and should not prevent your switches from seating properly.
Poron is a high-density, open-cell foam that excels at absorbing energy and vibrations. It is preferred in custom keyboards because it effectively eliminates the hollow, metallic pinging sounds often found in plastic or aluminum cases.
No adhesive is required. The foam is held in place by the pressure between your PCB and the mounting plate once the switches are installed.
