The space bar on the Wooting 80 HE has a sharp clack, loud, "different" sound that clashes with the pleasant and silent "shock" of all the other keys: it annoys me like a sauce stain on a new shirt!
I tried to insert specially shaped, removable and self-adhesive sound-absorbing pads, leaving space for the switches: the noise was partly attenuated, but the keyboard travel became harder.
Is there a functional and working solution?

Sounds like a question for #🔧│keyboard_modding

well anyway..
in the meantime I found a partial solution:
I filled the inside of the space bar with several strips of self-adhesive felt glued one on top of the other, shaped for the width, length and depth of the bar.
Furthermore, on the two internal sides of the short sides of the space bar I adhered two strips of the same felt of a length adequate to make the strip protrude by about 5 mm from the profile of the bar, downwards.
Nothing can be seen from above with the bar mounted.
The result is that the space bar does not hit the frame because the two strips of felt
arrive in contact before the bar.
The result is good, but it is unlikely to become excellent because now the loudest noise is produced
by the return
of the space bar.
Another way is to glue 4 5 mm silicone buffer half-bubbles on the plate
in correspondence
with the corners of the space bar. But maybe you can see them from above ...
my question still stands: is there a more technical, functional and functional way to silence the space bar more?
