Don't Make a Massive Difference but an Excellent Product!
I hadn't used many switch pads but decided to give these a try, and I was blown away by the quality! The packaging is a simple yet cool looking thick plastic silver holographic bag, each of the pads is stuck to a sheet of thin plastic film which makes removing them quite easy, and they even include a set of tweezers to easily remove (and apply?) the pads. I didn't end up using the tweezers and instead the following method to apply the pads, in case it helps anyone:1. Remove pad from film (with finger or tweezers)2. Put the pad on a SWITCH (non-stick side touching the switch)3. Press the switch into the PCB (in the desired location, obviously)Once all pads were easily applied using this method I was able to place all the switches and solder (unless using hotswap) and finish the keyboard's assembly.I compared using and not using these pads on two identical keyboards (same case, pcb, switches, plate, caps [both GMK], stabs) and I can honestly say that there's a difference, but it's not a HUGE difference. The pads make the switch EVERY SO SLIGHTLY deeper and less "clacky", but unless you're doing an A/B comparison I doubt you'd really notice. That said I will NOT be installing these under my switches on future keyboards unless I'm feeling extra snooty but I WILL be using these pads under my stabilizers! These pads are a super cheap alternative to stabilizer pads (since you can cut these pads up) even if they aren't the same shape as typical stab pads, and I think they do a fine job as stab pads (and switch pads if I'm picky).Pros:Excellent packagingComes with tweezersExcellent foamHas a positive effect on the keyboard's sound (albeit very minor)Can easily be cut up and used for stab padsPrice/valueConsDoesn't affect the keyboard's sound THAT muchConclusionThe price is right here, so if you really crave that padded switch sound or you're looking for cheap and plentiful stab pads (if you're willing to cut these pads up) then get these in your cart ASAP!

Good, but only if you know what you want
For the price point, they're worth it to just experiment with. I noticed that it sounds very different per build, so your mileage will likely vary by your keyboard, switches, and other mods you've done. I still like both results I've had, even if they don't have the same results though.

GET THESE! Make the keyboard thocky
Well modding my GMMK pro has been a venture and I wanted to add more things to my switches for my keyboard before adding the 1mm pads my switches often wobble and we'll now they don't these help so much! So also if you looking to make you're keyboard more thonky sounded get them currently with 3 layers of tape with Akko cream blues and using red samurai keycaps currently waiting for lube and polycarbonate plate will update when fully finished with the keyboard

Benefits in switch stability and case echo
I installed these without even taking the plate out, which is nice since that in itself takes time on the Keychron C2. It's time consuming, but these pads are sturdy and you won't ruin them if you mess up and have to reapply them.The sound difference was very minor for me, but this depends on your switches and what mods you already have done on your board. Others may hear a greater shift in tone.What I did notice is that the pads removed a hollowness that I noted on keys that didn't have the pads. Basically, this was a faint echo that you can hear if you focus on an individual key.People mentioned some difference in feeling. On my steel plate, I noted that there may be some difference. If you mash in several keys, pushing down hard, it feels slightly more cushioned on the keys with the pads. You won't notice it in normal use, but it may be of benefit over time. Don't expect it to make it feel like you have a gasket mount.Also, my switches stay on the PCB better now and don't pull out with the ASA caps when I remove them.Visually, as expected, the keys that have the pads installed will be ever so slightly taller than those that don't.

Just Get It
Works great on my GMMK 2. I wanted to try pe foam mod but couldn’t sacrifice my rgb lights so decided to give these a try. They were well packaged and easy to apply. I had no issues whatsoever. Highly recommend.
