MK only has plate-mounted MX Browns, unfortunately.

Huh...Didn't realize that. What about Mouser?

Edit: Looks like it's out of stock there too :(. What numpad are you modding?

I am currently in the group buy for the Abostudio numpad. It doesn't come with a plate.

Sometimes you can find old Cherry boards with lasered PBT for cheap on eBay that have PCB mount Browns.

You can try digikey.com as well.  I have ordered clears from them.  If you find anything with pcb mount clears I will trade you the stems and springs for some brown stems and springs.
