Title: Keyboard filler
Post by: keymaster on Fri, 27 December 2013, 14:02:21

I'm trying to purchase something like this filler for controlling ressonance (http://www.gonskeyboardworks.com/accessaries/21-filler-for-controlling-ressonance.html) from a vendor in the U.S.

I've found this one (http://www.amazon.com/Techni-Stat-Foam-Conductive-High-Density/dp/B0019V3C68/) on Amazon. I just want to make sure -- will it be fine to use it as keyboard filler (underneath the PCB)?

It's just foam. You can use any foam or rubberized shelf liners.  Anything that's of a thickness that fits comfortably in the cavity between the PCB and the bottom of the case (might need some cut outs) should do well.  Shelf liners are easy to get in many hardware stores and even supermarkets.

Thanks for the info. I'll be picking these (http://www.homedepot.com/p/Con-Tact-48-in-x-20-in-Black-Ultra-Grip-Drawer-Shelf-Liner-04F-C6O51-12/100388913#) up from Home Depot.
