Currently my PC supplier has only clear ones, will ask if there's any other color.
Typing test here:
Note that the typing test is done on a Duck Mini V1 case, 55g gateron blacks. The end result with your setup might be different.
That was honey lemon btw. it's nice
Specifications (??) of this plate?
- 5mm in thickness
- Will have universal screw holes to fit your other cases and not only Korean customs!
- Fully CNC Milled plate

Do you think you could post a typing video of the board?
Also interested in split backspace.

I'd probably get one with the same layout you have (Except with a 2.75 right shift).

I've actually got this plate in clear. I've decided to sand them for a bit for a slightly frosted look.
will consider sandblasting the plates for a more frosted look

what about eagle with this plate? eagle is fine i guess heh
That plate looks amazing, the right level of frost for me. What's the thickness?
thank you :) it's 5mm thick btw. just to clarify that this plate won't completely touch the PCB. there's like a hairline thick gap between the pcb and the plate.

I could be interested if an ISO plate would be made (same layout but ISO enter and short left shift).
there will be either universal or multiple layouts for this plate during the GB. maybe i'll stick to universal.
Very nice. what endmill are you using?
good question. I'll need to get back to you once I've contacted the factory that does this

Universal would be a no-go for me, I really dislike the large cutouts in an universal plate. (People have implied that I'm overly sensitive about universal cutouts though, so I wouldn't say this is the general opinion in any way =P).

Agreed, although I'm an ansi boy so I'd be on the opposing side if only one layout is chosen. But especially with a pretty clear backplate like this, I feel cutouts would look bad.

maybe around 60 to 65 shipped (tracking included) with packaging to prevent damage during shipping
is the price fair enough?

I have lots of acrylic and full time access to a laser cutter.

Ey, don't forget about ISO, please =(
I don't care about the rest of the layout (even though I do prefer split right shift and 1.25 modifiers, I can live with full right shift and WKL bottom row if need be).

Hi, sir. How about your plans about GB? I've participated in currently running 60% Feetless acrylic case. It would perfectly match with your plate, imho.

The Polycarb one tends to be too hard with thick metal cases, according to the people.
You can get more color options with Acrylic, but the Polycarbs are still attractive to try.
Thin Polycarb plates are good for the soft typist on MX browns, blacks and Blues, they say.

Not just you, been waiting for this and the Zeal60 made the wait even worse. I thought I read somewhere that SMDs on Zeals shouldnt have any issues as theyre underneath the switch.

If you do give it a shot, and it's not too much trouble, I've seen it mentioned before that extra steps would need to be taken to make a 5mm plate compatible with screw in stabs due to the extra height at the mounting points compared to regular PCB mount. If you could add that in, it would be pretty awesome. =)

Hope there could be a Alps version. Also, since this plate is 5mm, is gluing needed to hold the switch in place?
Or since it is CNC'd, you can actually cut out a groove for the switch to clip in, while having most part to be 5mm, but that would be expensive

Since polycarb is stronger you don't need to worry about making thick plates as much.
Thick plates are pretty appealing tho tbh.

Sounds amazing, I was just trying to find some polycarb. That said, isn't 5mm too thick?
You just need notches so it will only be 1.5mm at the clip points. A good example is the 2mm gon plates:

Currently my PC supplier has only clear ones, will ask if there's any other color.
Typing test here:
Note that the typing test is done on a Duck Mini V1 case, 55g gateron blacks. The end result with your setup might be different.
That was honey lemon btw. it's nice

- Will have universal screw holes to fit your other cases and not only Korean customs!
- Fully CNC Milled plate

Xondat has some leftovers on his site still. I have 2 and bought 2 more. They are amazing for hotswap boards.

Thanks, I just snagged one of those TYL ones. Noxary shipping was a bit much, and I like the fixed layout of the TYL one better.

Any idea how recently those TYL plates were in stock? Any chance they'll ever come back or should I just look elsewhere?
