A Must Have Upgrade for V1 Boards!
Going into this "V1 upgrade" I wholly expected to be happy, but I was not anticipating how impressive the acoustic change would be. These few foam pads have completely revolutionized the feel of my V1 Ctrl. Everything about typing is now.. "Chunky-er" and robust; all the tinny notes and rattle are completely gone. Think about it like slamming the car door on a 1980's honda civic and then gently shutting the door on a rolls royce; the sound and the feel just oozes quality and craftsmanship (Which the original Ctrl had in spades already!)
Anyone out there with a V1 board I cannot recommend these foam inserts strongly enough!
If I was pressed for any sort of cons, maybe if you were really rough with the foam it might tear at the thin parts? But I had no issues.

So glad the CTRL foam is now available!
I’ve been wanting to add foam inserts to my keyboard, and I bought a couple of these kits as soon as I saw them on Drop. I really like the result of adding the foam. It gave me a great excuse to disassemble my keyboard and clean everything. I enjoy this hobby!

It's not a violin, foam it up!
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.

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.

Great Upgrade
Let's be real, the CTRL integrated plate design creates a huge echo and ping sound when typing. I inherited a 1st gen CTRL from a buddy and was looking at options to make it sound more sturdy. After the gasket mount craze from other boards, the CTRL was almost unbearable. I received this kit and immediately installed it. It made a world of difference. Although it won't 100% remove the pings and echoes, it brings them down to a much more livable level. I think this is a mod you have to do.

Lots of foam!
Excited to finally have some foam for my CTRL!
Will be fun to rebuild it, and I might have to come back for more for my second one!

This foam kit is a must have, if you are upgrading your CTRL
The unmoded CTRL tends to sound hollow for obvious reasons. This kit is a must have, if you want to improve that. Everything fits properly. The foam cuts are clean and precise

Great Sound!
Fairly easy install. The video on the product page doesn't go in to too much detail but it is easy enough to figure out.
Comes with different foam pads for different CTRL versions.
I have the OG CTRL Canvas and it had the correct pads for it. (Different from the one shown in the video)
My light diffuser is also different from the video as it is wide open in the middle. I just put the 3 rectangle pads , kinda where it was shown in the video. The backplate holds it in place pretty well.
Now the sound. It makes a great difference right away. Instead of ping and clangs, the sound changes to a subtle tock. Worth it.
