There are so many types of things that you can use as sound dampeners, so it's up to your preference.

@@3ildcat would you recommend this keyboard or the Anne pro 2?
Here are some tips from somebody who made this keeb - Skyloong changed how the keyboard is built, they made the cases bottom smaller as to eliminate empty sounds, therefore a smaller dampening foam than 5mm is preferred. 1) When taking apart the board, the Gateron Optical logo goes down, this comes in later 2) Of course, when using a switch opener, push, but don't push after it opens, it will break the clips. (didn't happen to me, but I could see how it would to others.) 3) When Taking apart and greasing stabs, the new stabilizers don't go up and down on the new model, they lay flat until the key cap is inserted onto them. 4) When lubing the switches, the bag technique is good, but I would suggest not putting your Krytox on a sticky note, accidents can happen a lot and it can also be a huge waste. If you get Krytox from kebo, they provide a small brush that is perfect for dipping. 5) When adding foam, put thinner than you think. Since Skyloong changed the depth of the keyboard, if you put too much, the screws holding the PCB won't screw in and the charge port will be pushed too far down to move. 6) When putting the switches back together, the small window bump on the upper clear housing of the switch goes over the open window end on the bottom housing. 7) When lubing and filming, take your time. As a perfectionist, when the switches sounded different I took the ones that didn't sound the same out, re-lubed and re-filmed them, not super fun. But definitely worth it. 8) I've recently found out that the stabilizers make the keycaps that have them rattle uncontrollably, I tried regreasing the stabs, putting bandaid underneath, closing stab gaps, and making the fit tighter but it still has a very bad rattle. If anyone has any other ideas id love to hear And of course, have a nice tidy workspace and put some music on : ) always better to have fun doing it than dread it!

JOBS DONE AAAAARR WHAT A NOSTALGIC SOUND!!
Nice mods, it sounds amazing. I'm planning to do something similar with the optical GK61 I got ridiculously cheap. Can I ask how much the switch films affect the sound with these switches/how loose and wobbly the top housing is? I am planning to buy some more films from TX because I'm out but wondering if it's worth getting more for the optical switches.

I bought this exact keyboard (Though I think they're gateron browns... hope that's not too different) and didn't realise how terribly loud it is. Thanks for this. I'll try to emulate. It looks like a lot of effort, but my main concern was a lack of result. You've answered that concern in this vid. Thanks!
for those wondering, the microphone is there under the spacebar as part of a lighting mode where it detects your voice and the level of the light rises depending on how loud or quiet you are.
I keep watching these vids and can't get enough. I'm completely new to mechanical keyboards and its gonna be hell spending a ton of money on different switches before I find what I like. I was about to buy Wooting One before I realized its was optical switches only and not regular MX compatible. You make good visual aids to help mod keebs, I def need something quiet, or I'm gonna get divorced.
