What's the spacebar foam all about?

TheShakyDiver t1_j6272k8 wrote

Spacebars tend to sound very different from all the other keycaps because of the size and extra hollowness. Stick some foam, silicone or putty in there and it makes it more pleasant.

Nice! I might have to try that.

I was wondering because mine is super loud on the return stroke, like the stabilizers are topping out. It's great on the downstroke.

Might have to tune the wires if that's the case.

On the upstroke, the wires are essentially slamming into the top of the stab housing and causes that loud sound you may hear.

Using a heapin' scoop of 205g0 or dielectric grease can help tremendously

spacebars don’t sound bad whatsoever without foam…

Trust me. I have a couple builds where the spacebar sounds atrocious without any dampening/spacebar filling

Julesjulesbarca t1_j63h3ia wrote

that is the board’s fault lol. also, people on this sub tend to like deeper boards, so when a spacebar sounds lively, they hate it (which is fine but is not “unpleasant”). you can look up sound tests of tons of matrix boards, kfes, and duck boards with zero foam that sound great as well as unique unlike every pe foam board out there

I know, I have boards where the spacebar does sound good. I'm just saying that sometimes the spacebar needs dampening because of the board.

But it is a nice ship in a nice desert.

Finally a good looking yellow keyboard

Yellow is a very underrated color

So why is it half white if they specified yellow? Just curious.

Should've used GMK Gregory no cap

stupidfish1 OP t1_j651e72 wrote

No, because then I wouldn’t have gifted her the keyboard.

But yea, I went and bought GMK gregory for myself last night….

Lol that would've been a funny board to give your friend, have fun with your Gregory.

How's the keyboard feel and sound?

1

stupidfish1 OP t1_j66cezv wrote

Pretty decent. It’s an office build hence the silenced alpacas, so sound is obviously muted. Stabs are pretty mid….if it were my build I’d have swapped them out.

BeardedGinge t1_j66cmdb wrote

I'm all about the sound / muffledness for the office. I'm looking for a board and these seem pretty good while also being pretty lol

stupidfish1 OP t1_j66d6rt wrote

I had a work colleague throw a pen at my keyboard and scratch some gmk caps. Was quietly furious….now my work beater board is a e-white tofu v2 top mount with U4’s and pbtfans WoB. Solid board but not gonna be devastated if someone hurts it.
