Add this foam to my CTRL V1 with Cherry Blues. Made a noticeable difference to the pitch of the switches, not as “scratchy” or sharp sounding now. Easy assembly.
This really helped to dampen and remove some of the sharper overtones from my older Drop CTRL v1 that didn't include any foam. It would have been nice if it had also included some foam for some of the larger keys that echo quite a bit such as the space bar and shift keys. It took about an hour to fully disassemble, clean, and add the poron form.
Feels good overall, one part didn't match my Kb version
Installation was more or less straightforward solving a puzzle of placing correct foam part at correct location. There was no completely matching part for left side of my High Profile Ctrl but it was solved by cutting excess off the one that matched the best.
Black thin layer between keyboard and PCB doesn't match cutouts in some parts. Needed to mod this one as well. Also ended up bending several switch contacts because of this.
Idea to use Vimeo video for tutorial is horrendous! Not possible to move back to rewatch, not possible to open in separate window.
I lowered it to 3.
I bent contacts on around 10 switches because thin layer that was meant between case and PCB does not match cutouts accurately.
I ended up replacing most of the broken switches (not risking breaking off contacts) and fiddling with cutting out missed holes.
Overall good product but has some serious issues.
Pretty intuitive, no instructions required. Comes pre-plucked, unlike the competitors (do you really want to pluck 100500 tiny bits with tweezers?!), took me maybe 20 minutes to install, most of which were spent assembling the keycaps. The only negative I can think of is, it doesn't come with a piece to cover a hollow space in the middle of the bottom part of high profile CTRL... no big deal, a roughly cut piece of neoprene fixed that right away.
Note that you probably won't be able to align a thin sheet that goes underneath the switches perfectly... Don't worry, it will not interfere with them in any way and won't block the LEDs.
