KBDfans Switch Pads are thin buffer films made of PORON material, which are mounted between the switches and the PCB (circuit board) of a mechanical keyboard. They serve to cushion the impact of the switches when they are pressed, thus altering or dampening the typing feel and sound. According to the manufacturer, using these pads results in a more defined, less hollow keystroke.
The pads are suitable for keyboards with hot-swap switches or for soldered versions and support both 3-pin and 5-pin switches – including a variant-friendly hole pattern for RGB LEDs in the hot-swap version.
