{"product_id":"kbdfans-switch-pads","title":"KBDFans Switch Pads","description":"\u003cp data-end=\"489\" data-start=\"0\"\u003eKBDfans 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. \u003cspan data-state=\"closed\" class\u003e\u003cspan data-testid=\"webpage-citation-pill\" class=\"ms-1 inline-flex max-w-full items-center relative top-[-0.094rem] animate-[show_150ms_ease-in]\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"762\" data-start=\"491\"\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"762\" data-start=\"491\"\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"860\" data-start=\"802\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"860\" data-start=\"804\"\u003eMaterial: PORON. \u003cspan data-state=\"closed\" class\u003e\u003cspan data-testid=\"webpage-citation-pill\" class=\"ms-1 inline-flex max-w-full items-center relative top-[-0.094rem] animate-[show_150ms_ease-in]\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"917\" data-start=\"861\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"917\" data-start=\"863\"\u003eThickness: 0.5 mm. \u003cspan data-state=\"closed\" class\u003e\u003cspan data-testid=\"webpage-citation-pill\" class=\"ms-1 inline-flex max-w-full items-center relative top-[-0.094rem] animate-[show_150ms_ease-in]\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"993\" data-start=\"918\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"993\" data-start=\"920\"\u003eQuantity per pack: 120 pieces. \u003cspan data-state=\"closed\" class\u003e\u003cspan data-testid=\"webpage-citation-pill\" class=\"ms-1 inline-flex max-w-full items-center relative top-[-0.094rem] animate-[show_150ms_ease-in]\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1066\" data-start=\"994\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1066\" data-start=\"996\"\u003eWeight: approx. 18 g per pack. \u003cspan data-state=\"closed\" class\u003e\u003cspan data-testid=\"webpage-citation-pill\" class=\"ms-1 inline-flex max-w-full items-center relative top-[-0.094rem] animate-[show_150ms_ease-in]\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1367\" data-start=\"1067\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1081\" data-start=\"1069\"\u003eVersions:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-end=\"1367\" data-start=\"1084\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1237\" data-start=\"1084\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1237\" data-start=\"1086\"\u003eHot-swappable version: Size 15.3 × 14.5 mm.
