Hey can anyone refer to a place to get the key layout cut in Aluminum. This is the layout http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/layouts/6bb09db6eef988811b146b9d3ac193c2
-
That design looks just like a standard layout, just the key assignments are different. So you could just buy a standard 60% plate

Not sure where to buy one directly, you could look in the classifieds for one of Beast's 60% plates

This is a thing (http://www.geekhackers.org/collections/keyboard-accessories/products/60-keyboard-titanium-switch-plates-with-notches-for-switch-disassembly)
Bit pricey though.
EDIT: Ok, so it's not aluminum, but it is arguably a better material
-
You can get plate design on GH CAD Resources (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=47744) but not poker plate

Attached to that post is 60ANS125.dxf which is the plate design he needs.

A one off of this plate in aluminum is probably going to be close to the price of the titanium plate I posted.
I may be wrong though.
Of course gon is also a great option, but those won't have cutouts for top removal if that is what you want.

Get it cut in 1.5mm mild steel - cheap as chips.
