I wanted to reapplicate thermal paste but idk what is this sponge, can I take it off and then stick it back somehow after applying the paste? And what it is for?

If im not wrong

#

This is foam tape

#

Its there to make the fan more efficient

#

The oled version of the switch does not have that and you shouldnt have any issues with taking it off, if you have the meanings to replace them of course go ahead feel free to but its not that critical to have it there

#

I havent had to ever fix or do anything with my switch

#

Literally new still

#

Not a single scratch either

I dont think its sturdy enough

#

Most likely will crumble

#

As i said the OLED version of the switch does not have that and both switches have the same components

#

So i dont think anything bad will happen if they wont be there

#

But again if you have the meanings for it you can replace these
