Packed my keyboard for a flight and learned a CRUCIAL padding trick

Use foam from the original box to wrap each keycap row when you travel, it stops ANY rattling in your bag.

Smart hack for keeping things quiet.

Read something about airline baggage handlers using packages for football practice. Makes sense to over-pad anything fragile like a keyboard. The foam trick seems like the bare minimum for survival.

Heard about baggage handlers playing football with packages. That's insane! The foam trick for keyboards is barely enough. I wrap each keycap row and stuff the case with clothes too. Always worried about my gear getting smashed.
