BTW, how is a 4mm plate different from a 1.5mm one? Particularly in brass. How are the acoustics and/or feel different?

they sound crisper, in the sense that the tap sound on the plate doesn't linger, and goes away quicker. and a bit deeper. really sounds good.

+1 for 2nd layout option… arrow keys and split backspace.

Question, why 4mm and not 5mm? none the rest count me in for 2. 1poly,1brass

That ANSI split RShift/Backspace plate is perf +1

Yeah - seams like 5mm is doable (Zephyr for example is using that).

5mm worked with the Zephyr since the PCB was designed with that in mind. A 5mm plate used with a common 60% PCB like the DZ60 could result in issues since, depending on tolerances and layout, the plate could make contact with various pads. But I imagine there are workarounds to prevent something like that being an issue.

I think the Zephyr "only" was 4.5mm it's gonna be dangerous making the plate 5mm... It would be nice with 1mm tolerance on dif switches and pcbs

Also the typing feel will be quite different. The top-out clack will be very firm, and the bottom-out feel will be very hard.

Count me in on this THICC plate!
and +1 for the layout with arrow keys.

Concerning comments on DZ60 above. Will this not work with a DZ60? I would be using it with a V 3.0 of a DZ 60. Thanks

nu_types · « **Reply #62 on:** Sun, 27 January 2019, 21:44:54 »

Last one is best. I prefer full sized backspace and WKL.

Cool, I'd be interested in a rose gold one with that layout.

Sic_Alpha · « **Reply #67 on:** Tue, 29 January 2019, 21:59:51 »

Interested in the first plate shown on the imgur album "64 keys layout, included arrow keys,stepped/normal caps lock" for the new DZ60RGB, as long as plate isn't an issue with that PCB.

Just made an account to express how interested I am in this. I'd consider buying two just to help with MOQ. 60% ansi pok3r layout in either classic brass or rose gold would be perfect for me, but I'd be thrilled with whatever gets made.

During long working/ typing sessions. I am feeling a bit of fatigue with my current boards with 1.5mm brass plate. 63.5g springs, so not too heavy. I was wondering will 4mm brass plate feel different?

I am starting to see the appeal of half plate, but I'm not too comfortable with exposed pcb. Will try out the poly and carbon fibre plates I have hidden somewhere.

Someone earlier on this thread mentioned this plate would be great with a sandwiched case - maybe something like the acrylic cases Qlavier does. I second that opinion.

it's meant for tray mount style cases. So wouldnt work with sandwich style would it?

Silyl Ether · « **Reply #80 on:** Tue, 19 February 2019, 04:04:54 »

This plate is really interesting. I vote to "WK, split backspace, split R-shift, stepped/normal caps lock"

ZyBeR · « **Reply #81 on:** Tue, 19 February 2019, 10:29:16 »

I say it again... FIXED layouts please. Swiss cheese plates can be had from every single vendor, we don't need more of that crap. Make this premium grade stuff for people who knows what they want.

If you can handle it, add more layouts but as different plates.

Glod · « **Reply #82 on:** Tue, 19 February 2019, 10:58:22 »

I think having a universal layout would do the modifiers a bit of disservice with the 4mm. Honestly i think you should do a poll and collect interest in layouts, unless the batch # does not effect price on quantities this low and made-to-order is fine. Unless you are partnering with a vendor, i imagine the GB participation will be small.

KevlarBear · « **Reply #83 on:** Tue, 19 February 2019, 11:35:45 »

Based on the imgur album of the layouts I'd be interested in picking up this plate

At first I was like "okay, thick plate is probably nice, but I'm not planning to build another 60%"......
.......but that sample plate looks incredible and I would totally build a new 60% to use it.

I'm really looking forward to this. Are you going to offer different finishes? I'd like a glossy, polished finish if you offer it.
