120Pcs Keyboard Switch Foam Pads – Poron IXPE EVA Dampening
Quieter Keystrokes, Smoother Typing – 120-Piece Switch Foam Pad Set
Take your mechanical keyboard build to the next level with this 120-piece set of ultra-thin switch foam dampening pads. Available in Poron, IXPE, and EVA/PE materials, these pads sit between your keyboard's PCB and switches to significantly reduce housing rattle, minimize unwanted resonance, and deliver a cleaner, more satisfying typing sound profile.
Whether you're doing a full custom build or simply fine-tuning a hot-swappable board, these pads are an easy, low-cost upgrade that makes a real difference in how your keyboard looks, feels, and sounds.
Made in Mainland China.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these switch foam pads compatible with all mechanical keyboards?
A: These keyboard switch foam dampening pads are designed specifically for hot-swappable mechanical keyboards. They fit standard switch footprints and work with most popular hot-swap PCBs. If you have a solder-based board, installation is still possible but requires more care during the build process.
Q: What is the difference between Poron, IXPE, and EVA foam pads for keyboards?
A: Poron is a premium open-cell urethane foam known for its consistent compression and slightly softer feel, available here at 0.4mm. IXPE (irradiation cross-linked polyethylene) offers a firmer, more resilient texture. EVA/PE is a cost-effective option at 0.5mm that still delivers solid acoustic dampening and switch stabilization. Choose based on your preferred typing feel and sound signature.
Q: How do I install these keyboard switch foam pads?
A: Simply place each foam pad over the switch socket on your PCB before inserting the switch. The pads align with the switch housing footprint and are held in place by the switch itself once inserted. They are soft and flexible, making them easy to position and remove without leaving residue or causing damage.
Q: Will these pads affect switch actuation or keyboard performance?
A: These pads are ultra-thin (0.4–0.5mm) and are designed to have minimal impact on switch actuation. Their primary purpose is to reduce housing vibration, improve acoustics, and keep dust out of the switch internals — all without interfering with normal key function or travel distance.
