Hey peeps.
Looking for the community's input on how various full plates affect the sound of keyboard + linear switch used. I think currently the popular trend is to have the "thockiest" or deepest sound maybe? I'm looking to decide what type of plate would help to enable that for my kbd8x that's on it's way over.
I'm going to be using one of the following switches: NK Creams, C³ Tangerines, or Yellow Inks v2 as the switch. I haven't decided which one to go with. All switches will of course be lubed and the NK ones will be spring swapped (possibly the Yellow Inks as well).
The plate options are: Aluminum plate, Brass plate, Carbon fiber plate, FR4 (fiberglass) plate, Polycarbonate plate, and POM plate.
Would love people's thoughts on this!
Extra details:
The plate will be a full sized one since the PCB has 2 relief cuts; if you go with a half plate, you will run into some rather extreme flex. In addition to this, I'll be getting a muting kit as well. The case is also full aluminum with a brass weight (I didn't get the polycarb version).
