What is the expected price for e.g.. 3mm plate over 1.5mm?

Just remember that cherry switches won't click into a plate over 1.5mm thick. "Thicker" plate designs (5mm) have been milled to depth where the switches click in.

And it's important that they clip in if you have a tray mounted board.  When they don't clip in, the plate can/will slide down the switches and there's not much you can do about it other than add some supports in between the plate and PCB that are exactly the right thickness.

which i may add is a giant pain the ass

I squeezed in at the last second into this group buy, and am still finalizing my specification. Having not worked with any specialized software for designing plates before, DGX_Shin has been extremely helpful in working with to make my idea a reality- a bent titanium TKL open case:



I will be using this kbfans 8x PCB. I'm posting this here because I still have a chance to make changes to this, and I have a few questions that maybe some of you could help me with.

1. Is it absolutely necessary to have screw holes in the plate? Is there some kind of shim I could screw in from underneath to make sure the PCB is supported / has even distance?

2. Do you think the switch-top opening support look ugly on an open case design, since you'll be able to see the holes? Does it change the sound?

Any suggestions are appreciated. This isn't dependent on changes to this design, but I'm also looking to find any information on how to create a custom fitted underglow diffuser.

Thanks :)

You need 4 screw holes at for angle because you may need put a frosted mica below your pcb.

2. I strongly suggest to remove OT support.

I have also asked /r/MechanicalKeyboards on Reddit, and they said I could mount the acrylic directly to the PCB. I think this is what I will do.

I have already sent you an email with the final changes :) Thank you!

I think you mentioned somewhere that this is a one time deal, but hopefully you will consider running this again. I think there's enough community interest in plate materials to warrant another GB. I would definitely pick up one or two plates.

Dear,

First of all I'm so sorry about delay.

I didn't mention about Year End (includes Lunar Year End) so i had gave a wrong estimate timeline. I'm really sorry about that.

We have done engraving and next step we will clean a surface again. But this week, Vietnam is celebrating Lunar Year End and Shipping service will close in this week. Feel sad :(.

After the celebrating week we will start to ship and finish this GB in Feb. Please pardon me (just me not my team) for my mistake.

Tâm Huỳnh.

Out of curiosity, does anyone know where the plate files for the TiAmo/Titanium TKL keyboard that was run some time ago might be found? I would like to get a Titanium plate for it at some point in the future.
