Excellent - slightly mutes, slightly lowers pitch, and makes keyboard sound a bit more crisp.
Excellent - it slightly mutes the keys and makes them sound more crisp with less reverb, especially on bottom outs. The pitch also gets lowered slightly. Overall, highly recommended. One finally effect is that it helps center the switch pins into the hot-swap holes so you're less likely to bend a pin.Quite easy to use - it comes with a pair of tweezers so you can position the pads accurately on your PCB. It can be a little difficult to position the first couple of them. My suggestion is to grip the pad from the bottom, then focus on aligning the left leg hole and then ensure the hotspot contacts are visible through the appropriate holes. Once the contacts are properly aligned through the switch holes, press down on the pad to secure it.

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!

Worth the install
Takes forever to install, maybe I'm ocd and wanted the pads to be lined up correctly but it took me at least an hour and a half to remove all the keys switches install the pads and reinstall. The sound is great, it's not life changing or anything but does make my kahil box whites sound nice. Main thing I noticed is that it seemed to make my keys rebound faster, not sure if it's placebo but that was my first thought after testing

Precise fit, decent quality.
These worked well with my gmmk pro. You just need to be diligent about matching the holes up since they're cut exactly to match. Otherwise u run the risk of blocking pin contact. Comes with a set of tweezers too to help with removal of each switch pad.

Great and easy to use
The media could not be loaded. Many people are attempting to line up the product with their pcb, but the easiest way I found was to simply put it on the switches and insert it in. I requires no deconstruction further than taking out your switches. It reduces the low end rattles and gives a more crisp and clean clack than without. It's compatible with every other mod out there, so it's a great addition to and build. In the video, the V key is stock Durick T1 tactile, while the B is the same switch with the poron underneath.

Takes a while, but relaxing
I used these on a PCB in my Iqunix OG80. They did make the keys sound a bit more bass-y.However, installing them was quite the time suck.. I found it relaxing after finding a good method.They include a small tool/tweezer to help with install. What I did was expand the tweezer inside the inner circle/poron pad. Then I would line it up in the center mounting post on the PCB, before getting it in place and pushing down.

Very frustrating to use
These switch pads didn't really do anything for the sound of my keyboard. Keep in mind, unless you have really steady hands, you probably mess u at least a few of them.

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.
