I'm going to be adding foam to my keyboard for the first time, and ordered some 3mm foam. From what I've read, that shouldnt be too thick for the back of a Keychron Q6..

Anyone have first hand experience?

Also, I'm going to be adding a PC plate as well. Both the plate and the foam should make some significant changes to the sound, but not the feel, is that right? Going for deep thock

Taping the switches, not the board, right? I've seen people use masking tape on the bottom of their cases, so just double checking

I also did the ting ting mod from the beginning of the video with the tape from the tape mod but double layered. Don't know whether it was nessacary.
