Acrylic plate

[SectorOMEGA]

Hello First excuse me for this one, I know this was covered in other teams but I got lost I have one 60% which Im using as a daily driver.
Its in cheap Chinese casing and aluminum plate(Its with PCB). So now Im after some new fully acrylic casing. I will desolder all and solder all back, but What thickness I can go for the top plate? I know the cherries accommodate 1.5mm at best. Any advice will be highly appreciated.

Cherry switches will clip in at 1.5mm +- 0.1mm. If you want thicker, you'd have to make notches so they can clip in (or don't add notches but might mis-align some).

I want to go with 1.5mm but was wondering if its going to be enough. There will be some sandwich plates on the surroundings but it will be a little bit larger than the Chinese casing. Will it be enough for typing and not 'sinking' when typing

[xondat]

Enough structurally yes, but I can't comment on the feeling.

Thank you very much for this. Well, I might give it a try Will wait for a few  more comments and if not, laser guys will be called out

If you're using a PCB the switches don't need to clip in and if you're getting a custom plate for your exact layout the switch holes will keep the switches straight (assuming you get a nice tight fit)  This means you can use a 5mm plate which covers the bottom half of the switch resulting in a different sound.

I have an all-acrylic board with a 5mm plate with 120g linear switches and it feels solid, but I've never tried a 1.5mm plate in acrylic to compare.

Excellent. But if switches dont clip in and cover the bottom part what will be the sizing of the square? Yep it will be with PCB
