really like this, very interested. some ramblings follow...
extra plate holes - is there any concern of the plate's rigidity with the extra proposed holes in the plate? i like to think that at least part of the point of the plate is to absorb the shock of keypresses and remain flat to prevent any stress on the pcb/solder joints.
no switch top opening - not sure if this is good or bad. Personally i've never had to go in and 'fix' any switches, or felt the need to change out stems or springs. i think it would be some peace of mind to have the option, even tho i dont expect to ever make use of it. if the goal were to make the switches fit with no wiggle room, then why the universal plate?
half plate - really not sure why anyone would want this. I realize people want what they want but just looks like it will end up providing some amount of board flex on every keypress and is just asking for trouble later on. Maybe thats the point, to have the 'board flex' feel but personally i'd have misgivings typing on it, perhaps i'm just paranoid.
no RGB underglow - thank the **** christ
