Keyboard foam, also known as acoustic dampening foam, is a core functional material specially designed for mechanical keyboards. It fits precisely between the keyboard plate and the PCB, firmly protecting the internal delicate components, effectively extending the keyboard’s service life, while significantly reducing keypress noise. It also enhances typing comfort and enriches the sound of each keystroke, optimizing the overall user experience.
What Materials Are Suitable for Keyboard Foam?
(1) Polyurethane foam is one of the preferred materials for keyboard dampening. Thanks to its unique cellular structure, it offers a gentle compression curve, providing shock absorption, cushioning, and a snug fit, which results in effective noise reduction. It is commonly used as the middle layer foam in mechanical keyboards, delivering a smooth and comfortable typing feel.
(2) IXPE foam has emerged as an ideal material for switch pads due to its excellent properties. Its closed-cell structure provides outstanding cushioning, water resistance, sound insulation, and ease of processing. It effectively absorbs keystroke impact, reducing typing fatigue during prolonged use, while also blocking sound transmission, resulting in a richer and softer typing sound—free from harsh or tinny noises. IXPE foam balances four key demands: tactile feel, noise reduction, durability, and manufacturability, offering keyboard manufacturers a high-performance material solution that enhances product competitiveness.
