The overall fit is cut perfectly. It's just puffy enough that you have to compress the foam a little bit in order to screw the case down. This ensures that the foam's dampening power is maximized. The thing I appreciate the most is that this foam kit makes the keyboard feel unbelievably solid with zero feeling of any kind of looseness. It is now a very firm feeling keyboard. If you have a V1 keyboard and want to dampen the sound you would be doing yourself the biggest favor by installing this kit. Absolutely positively highly recommended. I would also recommend putting a small piece of electrical tape between the four metal plates that attach to the removable feet and the bottom case plate to keep the two pieces of metal from rattling against each other.
