Plate Foam?

@Rob27shred

The only big advice I have for buying any sound dampening material is be sure to order the proper thickness. You need to have a slight compression between the parts & sound dampening material, but just a slight compression. Too much & it also negatively impacts the sound dampening materials performance. Hope this info helps some!

Thanks for the info, I’ve been meaning to get back to this post for a while.

Is there a recommended thickness in MM, that I should be aware of?

Will I need to apply a clamping pressure when soldering?

I’ve gone to Michaels and picked up craft foam (EVA). I usually need two sheets to fill the ~4mm gap between plate and PCB so I’ve previously glued the sheets together before cutting it. I’ve only once cut out each switch by hand and otherwise do a cutout for each row. At this point I’d just use MKUltra as the foam is perfectly cut and just the right thickness.

Would love to go the precept method, but my next keyboard is the Tex Shinobi and I’m not sure how I would go about providing MKUltra the correct specification’s to have the foam cut.

A part of @MKUltraCorp’s business is plate foam. While I’m sure he’d prefer you to buy from his shop if possible, asking for advice might not hurt

@MKUltraCorp, Any chance of a plate foam for the TEX Shinobi? I’m going to need two of them.
