I just finished my Zoom65 V2 with kailh box jades and cheap Amazon caps. The sound is ok but I want something "deeper" and louder from the alpha keys. What do y'all suggest? Pulling out the foam in the bottom of the case and underside of the PCB definitely helped. I've done the tape mod and plan to do the holee mod when I open it up again.

So O-Rings are notoriously for cutting the noise on Cherry Blues, but we put 0.2mm O-Rings on my wife’s keyboard, and it accomplished EXACTLY what you’re looking for.

Massive pain to install, but cheap, and “deeper”.

Thanks for the tip. I'll research that asap.

Curious as to how you've found o-rings a pain to install.

Not a pain as much as tedious. It was on a 108 so just… not super fun.

Ah, yeah! Totally fair!
