Sound travels better off of and through most liquids. Oil would likely mute it a bit, but it would be a sloshy mess to fill it enough to contact the PCB or generate a higher pitch keystroke sound from reducing the effective size of the sound cavity.

Kinda cool fact: one of the chemicals used to make aerogel, tetramethyl orthosilicate, is basically pure sand but in liquid form. It reacts with water to turn into its solid form, and becomes super super fine, but is insanely dangerous. This is because if you get it in your eyes it reacts with the water in your eyes and turns solid, but does so under the surface of your eyeballs, and causes permanent blindness. Also if you inhale it then it reacts with the water in your lungs, and having sand in your lungs is bad (shocker).

Found your channel and fell in love with keyboards. I saved up for a long time until I finally had enough to build a board, and my wife got me a prebuilt Drop CTRL before I could order the stuff. Thx wife I love you. Might fill this thing with Aerogel.

Foam and no foam aren’t that different, but the aerogel obviously is supreme

The aerogel foam is a notable improvement over just regular foam. I'm shocked at how large of a sound difference there actually is!

Aerogel is commonly used as a insulator for heat (works amazingly well) and to catch space debris. There are lots of other uses but these two are the most common. I’m a bit late to the vid but I can try and answer some questions if anyone has some about aerogel. I’m currently working with it for research.

i must not be deep enough in the keyboard rabbit hole, cuz i honestly can't tell any difference in sound between the 3 of them lmao

FUCKING FINALLY SOMEONE WHO DOES IT! Thank you so much! Edit: Get a number pad and fill it with the gel crystals.

Honest thoughts from someone who isn’t in the keyboard scene and only clicked because I wanted to see something done with aerogel (thanks a LOT) here’s what I thought of each noise. No foam- my favorite of the bunch. Foam- sounds exactly the same as no foam but like the audio was pitched up. Deeper sounded better. Aerogel- sounded akin to our crazy neighbor Caryn from Las Vegas who would tap her acrylic fingernails really fast on our ceramic counter when she got really into talking very loudly about something that made her anxious. A bit too solid sounding and gave me shivers in a bad way. (Does this count as childhood trauma?) My iPhone keyboard clicks through my headphones as I type this message that will get me hate probably- 10/10 😂 BUT- whoever this guy is, I like listening to him and his humor more than I like listening to the keyboards. My computer is a 2001 dell with a 20 year old crayola keyboard so maybe I’m biased to the nostalgic plasticky tapping sound.

No foam sounds so satisfying and I adore loud clicks personally as someone who uses a typewriter :))

i just had a thought... have you ever put cardboard in a keyboard? or even made a keyboard out of cardboard? that second one sounds like something that's probably been done before but either way it would be so interesting 👀

Wow, I couldn't tell the diff between the first two, but that last one with the aerogel insulator sounded pleasant. Didn't really have that high pitched click to it and was just nice and plastic clacks.

Would filling the base with candle wax be an interesting option? Anyway, I always love the mod videos. Especially if they are slightly silly 😉

Technically aerogel could sue any product for being "lighter than air" based on false advertising. But they don't cause they chill like that.

Love your vids hipyo, continue !

Just wow. What a difference!

This is the first time I've seen this guy's videos, and they're honestly great.

So glad I saw this before switching over. Gonna stick to peanut butter like my grandpa used to use when he was a kid.

That aerogel dampening sounds really good.

should try Silly putty. i've had some sitting on a shelf for years! and it doesnt dry up

The aerogel and with foam both sound better than without foam, but I might like the aerogel slightly better. The aerogel also makes the biggest difference in sound.

Only 10 seconds in and I already want to eat the jell

Shows how much things have changed for me since I got into this hobby. Hippyo is still one of my favorites but i think the FreeBird is better without foam

The aero.. gel.. foam was actually really good! Excellent sound.

okay the aerogel one sounds way better than i was expecting, im definitely trying this

Sounds very nice!

Thank you, I was actually thinking of buying aerogel later this week

I just buy a tube of 100% silicone calk and use that as a filler. You can use cornstarch to keep it from sticking and being a permanent mod. Also you can get grout silicone in a bunch of different colors at a tile store. Very cheap and effective and will fit any board.

A Rode NT1 might not be the right mic to pick up the pinging well, I couldn't hear any difference between foam and no foam lol. NT1s are pretty dark so that may be why. iirc the NT1A is a bit brighter so it might bring out the pinging more.

For burger mount you're supposed to put o-rings both sides of the screw so that the plate doesn't touch either the screw heads nor the case metal.

I think the "No Foam" sounded quite alright to begin with

for _sure_ the aerogel. Holy shit the difference is huge. But it's interesting because it doesn't sound like it just "dampens" the sound, it actually changes the resonance characteristics of the sound, and where the fundamental frequencies of the (switches? board?) are located. Especially obvious on the bigger keys like spacebar

"otherwise my mana will run out oh god my mana is low please help" best part 11/10
