Material for sound dampening HHKB (Interior)
« on: Sat, 29 April 2017, 16:35:16 »
Just wondering what you have all used to help add weight inside/dampen sound. Already have hypersphere, plan on getting the absorption mat from smartimports, but wanted to put something inside the case and don't know where/what to look/use.

Hi, having just purchased my HHKB Pro 2 I will be interested to read what other folks have done to dampen sound and vibrations.

Also, please let us know how you like the sound absorbing pad from Smart Imports when you get it - I am very tempted to get that myself.

There is a thread here somewhere all about dampening and foam to put inside case.

Too lazy to look it up though

Hypersphere is a grade A ripoff...

This comment chain should have some good recommendations, OfTheWilds solution definitely looks to be the best.
