what’s gasket and why its better

Hey everyone, it’s MONSTER R here, and today we’re going to be talking about mechanical keyboard gaskets. If you’re someone who loves mechanical keyboards, then you’ve probably heard of gaskets. But what are they, and why do people choose to use them? That’s what we’re here to discuss.

What is a  GASKET?

 

A gasket is a type of material that sits between the keyboard plate and the PCB (printed circuit board). This material can be made of a variety of materials, including silicone, rubber, and foam. The purpose of the gasket is to dampen the sound and vibration of the keyboard, resulting in a quieter and more tactile typing experience.


Why do people choose to use gaskets in their keyboards?

Well, there are a few reasons. For one, it can improve the sound of the keyboard. By dampening the sound and vibration of the switches, the keyboard can sound quieter and more pleasant to type on. This is especially true for keyboards with clicky switches, which can be quite loud without a gasket.

Another reason people choose to use gaskets is that it can improve the feel of the keyboard. By dampening the vibration of the switches, the keyboard can feel more solid and stable, resulting in a more satisfying typing experience. This is especially true for keyboards with softer, more flexible plates, which can sometimes feel a bit mushy.

 

In conclusion, if you’re someone who wants to improve the sound and feel of your mechanical keyboard, then a gasket might be just what you need. By dampening the sound and vibration of the switches, a gasket can result in a quieter and more tactile typing experience. And with gasket-equipped keyboards becoming more and more common, it’s easier than ever to get started with one. Thanks for reading, and I’ll see you in the next one!
