I have seen people use this foam matte stuffThat's drawer line.Show Image(http://cdn.shopclues.com/images/detailed/10813/Big2_1420875509.jpg)

Yeah, I have seen 1 or 2 people use it, I think it would work, wouldn't it?I have seen people use this foam matte stuffThat's drawer line.Show Image(http://cdn.shopclues.com/images/detailed/10813/Big2_1420875509.jpg)

Sure it works great but its not foam.

Ah, the link I got the image from called it foam.Yeah, I have seen 1 or 2 people use it, I think it would work, wouldn't it?I have seen people use this foam matte stuffThat's drawer line.Show Image(http://cdn.shopclues.com/images/detailed/10813/Big2_1420875509.jpg)

Either way just wanted to give a common name to help find it. :DAh, the link I got the image from called it foam.Yeah, I have seen 1 or 2 people use it, I think it would work, wouldn't it?I have seen people use this foam matte stuffThat's drawer line.Show Image(http://cdn.shopclues.com/images/detailed/10813/Big2_1420875509.jpg)

Thanks, because the way I found it was by searching "foam checkered anti-slip", and drawer liner sure as hell makes it easier to find.Either way just wanted to give a common name to help find it. :DAh, the link I got the image from called it foam.Yeah, I have seen 1 or 2 people use it, I think it would work, wouldn't it?I have seen people use this foam matte stuffThat's drawer line.Show Image(http://cdn.shopclues.com/images/detailed/10813/Big2_1420875509.jpg)

It stands to reason that it would reduce vibrations.

That thought struck me already. I'm ashamed to admit I'm currently not in possession of any duct tape (and I call myself an engineer...). Will try that out as soon as I get a hold of some.

They don't sound so hollow now. Quieter, tighter sounding. I tried to find something similar to yoga mat material (I think ideal), but ended up getting drawer liner as above at the dollar store instead.

Also i added some drawer liner to my K95 and i've noticed less pinging but i also changed the switches from reds to blues so that's probably it, kinda sucks though cause the K95 has some pressure contact points for the g-keys and other buttons so you can't add too much or else it may render them useless.

It's meant for speaker enclosures and car bodywork, but works great for keyboards. Easy to cut, and it comes with an adhesive backing. Easy peasy lemon squeazey. Only problem is that it's expensive, but if you wanted to save money, you wouldn't be here, right? There's also some much cheaper knockoffs of Dynamat, which probably will work nearly as well for half the cost.

Put away yo' silly drawer liner and craft foam! Use Dynamat (http://www.amazon.com/Dynamat-10415-Self-Adhesive-Deadener-Speaker/dp/B00020CATC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1423721653&sr=8-2&) instead! Or use both!

I've actually thought about this but Peel & Seal isn't available where i am.

To clarify, are you guys talking about putting these mats IN the cases, or UNDER them?
I think most of us were talking about putting the mats inside the case- there's usually a gap between the case and PCB where you can shove stuff. All things equal, I think that the dampening material would be more effective there.

You must be a fake engineer. Real ones will always have Duct tape as well as WD40 so you are clearly faking it.Terrapin swears by layers of duct tape.

Not fake, just not one that has been in the field on tools.

- Drawer liner mod (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=47224.msg1006790#msg1006790)
- Mousepad, towel, or something thick under your keyboard
- O-rings
- Soft Landing Pads
- Consider swapping your switches (Topre, Linear MX, Jailhouse Blues, and MX Clears are all options that come to mind for quiet keyboarding)

I should fund that engineering chart on how to fix everything with both those items
The old handyman saying:
If it moves and it is not supposed to - use duct tape.
If it is supposed to move and doesn't - use WD40.
