Really it's the majority that is plate mount. It's much simpler to list the PCB mount for you to avoid then.
So here is a list of PCB mount boards you are not looking for that have no plate stock (though aftermarket plate is available for some):
Cherry G80 line, Vortex/KBC/KBT Poker/Pure/Race, Plum 96, Neo Zelia.

Pretty much anything else you will find has a plate.

I am interested in a list of PCB mounted keyboards that have all their keys.
I am guessing only the Cherry G80 has all its keys?  And the rest are mini keyboards?  (if anyone happens to know off-hand?)

I want to own a PCB mounted keyboard or 3 but I never did find one good enough for me so I just gave up on it and forgot about it, until I saw this msg.

Plum 96 have layout similar to CM TK. Neo Zelia is standard tenkeyless.

Thanks  IvanIvanovich.  That makes the selection process easier.
