Using fleece fabric as sound dampening material
« on: Tue, 13 February 2024, 14:21:24 »
So I realised that using fleece fabric instead of case foam makes a keyboard sound a lot deeper which I like, I've done this in an old build cause the case foam was very light and probably not doing anything, and I just replaced the case foam in my Keychron Q10 with pieces of the same fleece fabric that were laying around.
I really like the sound and it's a pretty nice inexpensive mod, though I have one concern. Would there be any issues concerning static electricity? It'd be a bummer to both not be able to use this since it gives such a nicer sound to my board and also that I really don't wanna fry it with some dumb mod.
My knowledge on the subject is basically nonexistent so I'm hoping for someone who knows about this to clear things up if they can.
I did use that old board for a while and it's still good, though I do wonder if there would be differences between plastic and metal cases.

Usually I use what is called "shelf liner" in the US, but sometimes cotton felt fabric seems better.

I lay flat sheets where I can, and when I need to fill voids I cut strips at the width of the cavity and sufficiently long so that when rolled into a cylinder it is deep enough to fill the space.
"Cohen has been described as a “fixer,” a guy who gets things done, who cleans up messes and who calms the waters in a crisis. But mostly, it seems that Cohen was a lackey.
He wasn’t someone telling Trump hard truths to make sure that he was protected. Cohen was the guy who simply wanted to make sure that Trump was placated. He wanted the boss to be happy. Cohen wasn’t using his clout or connections to turn the tide in Trump’s favor.
He was just another person whose ambitions and self-worth had become intertwined with Trump, someone who as federal investigators closed in on him, as he lied and then lied some more, he had to be reminded by his wife, his daughter and his son that Trump was neither his salvation, nor was he someone worth saving." 2024-05-14 comment
