Ended up doing the mod on an old $20 keebs just for fun
Discussion
what is the purpose or benefit? i've never heard of this.
Just a better sound
Think of the bottom of the keyboard like an anvil. The keys hit and makes a loud clank sound. A lot of people mod with several layers of painters tape to make the sound more "thocky" vs clank.
that's awesome. thanks for enlightening me.
