Here comes another experiment~!!
In this experiment I am trying 3 different material of "dampening sheet". Do they really effective?
Take a look at this, the result is surprising, LOL.
0:00 no dampening
01:45 Polyethylene foam
03:10 Sponge-like foam
04:29 Neoprene foam
05:55 Comparison
Keycaps: KBDFans POM Cherry profile
Switches: Unholy pandas 62g (residue of holy pandas)
Stabilizers: Fake Plate-mount cherry stabilizers, lubed, clipped and band-aid modded.
Mounting Plate: Aluminium
Case: KBDFans 5 Degree Aluminium
Sound recording: Audio-Technica ATR2500

Q: What the heck of experiment is it?
A: To have sound tests of different combinations of plates and cases, while keeping other parts such as switches, keycaps unchanged.
PCB: Hot-swappable 60% PCB (made by my friend)
Switches: EverGlide red (simmilar with Gateron reds)
Keycaps: Cherry Profile PBT (~1.3mm thick)
Stabilizers: Fake Cherry Plate-mount stabilizers, lubed and clipped.
Plate: Aluminium
Cases: Plastic, Wooden, Aluminium(KDBfans TOFU)")
