Osume-compatible spacebar foams?

[prime rover]

I like to reduce the hollow sound of the spacebar with foam. My go-to foams provider (StupidFish) unfortunately doesn't sell a foam specifically for Osume spacebars, and I don't know what the mold looks like since I'm still waiting on my set. Are there any foams that are known to work well with the Osume mold, such as the KBDfans foam (which is ostensibly generic)? Thanks.

here’s a reference, but you could maybe get a generic one and add the scores yourself

It appears that the StupidFish NicePBT foams may fit, although its hard to tell for certain just by overlaying the two. I'll have to report back.

Will be interested in your findings!

Same!

I use the generic kbdfans ones with no problems

[stable silo]

Do you remember which size you got?

[pale crypt]

For cherry it’s 3.5mm and then whatever your spacebar length is 6.25u or 7u

I can confirm that StupidFish NicePBT foams are a perfect fit.

for these kinds of foams, do they just tension hold from application or are they adhered somehow?

Kbdfans has a sticky side

pocket_donut, you have reached lv. 4!

KBDfans use an adhesive and therefore should work on anything. StupidFish foams are friction-fit and therefore need to be designed with specific spacebars in mind.

I have not tried the KBDfans foams (yet), but the StupidFish foams completely fill the inside of the spacebar, so in theory they're slightly better. (Not to mention material differences.)

tonogram, you have reached lv. 1!

I have these and i know they are supposed to completely fill but I try to smush them in as far as I can and maybe I'm doing it wrong but my spacebar won't press all the way down with it, like they're too thick or something

[stable silo]

@prime rover maybe i should be trimming them or something?

[prime rover]

Oh, I have no idea. My tastes changed and I stopped using spacebar foams quite some time ago.

[stable silo]

when you used them before do you remember how you inserted them? or maybe too long ago now haha

[prime rover]

You can try cutting off the foam where the switch and stabs would be. It should still friction-fit alright.
