Ways to suppress noise from a homepad

[devosbi]

I'm trying to get rid of this annoying "clink" noise when i step on the arrows, so Ive decided i need some form of suppressor. Now...

Ive thought about this, and i reckon the best option is to use a Conductive rubber, like what is used to connect LCD's to PCB's. This rubber sits on one of the contacts, and prevents the noise and at the same time increases the life of the sensor. Where can i get large amounts of this "Conductive rubber" or is there any other ways i can suppress the noise?

There's probably nothing you can if its your sensors that are making that noise. I would suggest coming up with a better sensor design like using two sheet metal contacts(like 10 inch by 10 inch sheet metal 22 or 24 gauge with the corners cut off) for the sensors.

Decrease the range of motion and/or put some high-density foam on the metal. If the metal is restricted by foam or rubber, it won't be able to vibrate as much; this will decrease both the wavelength and the and the amplitude of your clinking and it should become more like a dull thud.

you also could try to line the inside with some kind of foam they use for soundproofing stuff.

that should help a bit.

(i need to figure out a way to dampen the noise on my popn controller)

Soundproofing foam won't work, unless you're covering your own house's walls with it..
