Just a little note: It looks like there's a little bug with the combined stab cutout in swill's tool:
https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=65189.msg1741788#msg1741788

You probably have to update the plate files.
I saw it. Is that fixed now by Swill ?

I hope soon.

Thanks for updating anyways! I will look into it and make sure the plates you get works

I dont think I will order more samples, if the one I get tomorrow work, except for the stabs, I will start the GB wit corrected design from Swill.

Most people use the forum standard, which has a dark grey background. It's best not to use black lettering. ;)

AND samples are here!!! Please help me decide which finish. IMO, i really like the matte feel of the sandblasted, and it looks more "well done". It is up to you!
Please refer to the OP for pictures!

Which ever coating make it easier to powder coat the plate im for that. Also will the corners be rounded? would be nice to have a flush fit on a pok3r case.

I will see how it fits in the Pok3r case and decide if I want to round the corners.

I think sandblasted is the easiest to powder coat.

Still validating, the plate may actually be compatible with Alps(not Alps stabs). Continuing my testing, I will update you.

Sandblasted is the most popular opinion right now

LeandreN · « **Reply #68 on:** Sat, 16 May 2015, 10:49:34 »

You can now vote for the finish you think looks better! http://strawpoll.me/4373787

I am continuing my validation of the plates and it looks like almost everything is going smoothly, please refer to the list in the OP for more information. Thanks for all the support.

I am soon finished testing. Something i didn't think about is that you pretty much need a PCB to mount it into a case if i am not mistaken. Anyways, there are many options, and that is what i am aiming for with these plates. I really want to open the orders now, but i want to be 100% sure before i start. Waiting for the Cherry stabs that should arrive next week, then i will open orders.

The first 50 plates purchased will have a chance to win a set of Gateron Blacks included

Fit [ ✔ by me, Cherry switches are a little lose, you may want to glue. Kailh and Gaterons fits perfectly. Combatible with ALPS(not Alps stabs)]

Do the cherry switches pop out of the plate when you pull a keycap?

In most cases, yes :-/

There are some exceptions. They will only pull out of the plate if you really force it on a really short period of time. Gaterons and Kailhs are stuck in the plate.

Pietdagamer · « **Reply #84 on:** Sat, 16 May 2015, 15:35:27 »

Oh well, it won't be much of a problem, I can probably just glue them

Yeah. May need to glue for the Gaterons aswell. I have some really thight keycaps though. There is no big deal in terms of what could go wrong during tthe testing, and not something i am particularly concerned about.

EDIT: The fit is something you sacrifice if you want "notches". Description of the mount hole from Deskthority "Allows the switch to be opened without desoldering/removing from the plate. The switch's LED slot must be facing up or down."

Thanks! I am waiting for the Cherry stabilisers from Ortholinearkeyboards, when i get them, i will test the plates with these stabilisers to see if everything fits correctly. ETA is next week.
