Title: [IC] TYL 4mm plate in Brass and PC.(In stock sale tonight!2/11/2020)
Post by: ilouis_07 on Sat, 19 January 2019, 21:49:51
Hi Everyone,

TianYue Lab Discord Channel:
https://discord.gg/8vbtRzC

iLouis_07 here, recently there was one idea went through in my mind.

Something we played quite long but there are still can be improved, in short:

TYL 4mm Brass Plate

One more pic for details, everything we had considered in:

(https://imgur.com/8LssP7U.png)


Specs:
4mm brass plate compatible with all the GH60% tray mount cases: ALF DC60, Tofu60 and etc.
CNC craft.
Polished and sandblasted, chroming(like my volcano660 plate), PVD.(See the moq and price offered by factory)
We will offer different layouts.(Personally, my designing purpose is to enhance the type feeling, so those universal plates are not the first choice)

Period:
Less then 1 month.

Shipping:
China EMS.


Price:
TBD.


Hope to hear more from you, you can leave comments below and also i will update different layout CAD here once i finished one by one.

Thank you so much


Edited: (For Alum 4mm and PC 4mm, I will try for my prototype, if good, I can count them in as well)

I can tell it based on Normal vs Gasket, but thicker plate I have no idea, that’s why I’m here. I talked with u/magicpretzel this morning and we believed that this will be a good try :)

I'd really be in on this. I'm specifically looking for split backspace and split right shift, with a 1.5, 1, 1.5, 7, 1.5, 1, 1.5 bottom row.

Top/sandwich mounts are nice, but tray mounts will always be there as a favorite for me (T60, Klippe, Raven).

With that thickness, the switch won't snap on the plate, thus making it unusable. You need to carefully CNC the plate where the switch snaps in order to make it thinner in that particular position (everwhere else it can be thicker).

It's so thick that it deserves to be exposed with a sandwitch mount. Given the thickness of the plate, do you need to stuck a membrane between the plate and the pcb?

On a comment by nubbinator, I've seed that he said that with come pcbs you need to worry about "top plate SMD stuff."  :thumb:

there's no notch to remove without desoldering. like what OP said, his aim is to enhance typing feeling with a full plate, so i guess by cutting more notches, it will stray further away from his goal.

very interested! Might get a couple even. I've been wanting to try brass plates, both for 60% and 40%. I'm using leaded solder on my current 60% project, so desoldering the switches off the current alu plate won't be so hard when/if this comes!

this will definitely be more expensive than the usual plates, as it doesn't just involve cutting, but milling.

Cutting brass is even harder than milling! You can't use traditional CO2 Assisted laser cutters due to the fact that the brass will oxidise and you won't be able to cut through it without having a horrible mess everywhere the issue is that you can't really mill anything under 4mm, since we're used to thinner plates due to MX Mounting, I can sort of presume that's why you chose a 4mm plate, since it's cheaper to do than a 1.5mm or 2mm plate  :)

I would like to see this in perhaps a 7u space, and standard ANSI.

Both of these I like to have a split right shift. Right shift takes up so much space for a key that I don't even use.. at all.

they sound crisper, in the sense that the tap sound on the plate doesn't linger, and goes away quicker. and a bit deeper. really sounds good.

Yeah - seams like 5mm is doable (Zephyr for example is using that).
5mm worked with the Zephyr since the PCB was designed with that in mind. A 5mm plate used with a common 60% PCB like the DZ60 could result in issues since, depending on tolerances and layout, the plate could make contact with various pads. But I imagine there are workarounds to prevent something like that being an issue.

I think the Zephyr "only" was 4.5mm it's gonna be dangerous making the plate 5mm... It would be nice with 1mm tolerance on dif switches and pcbs

Also the typing feel will be quite different. The top-out clack will be very firm, and the bottom-out feel will be very hard.

During long working/ typing sessions. I am feeling a bit of fatigue with my current boards with 1.5mm brass plate. 63.5g springs, so not too heavy. I was wondering will 4mm brass plate feel different?

I am starting to see the appeal of half plate, but I'm not too comfortable with exposed pcb. Will try out the poly and carbon fibre plates I have hidden somewhere.

Someone earlier on this thread mentioned this plate would be great with a sandwiched case - maybe something like the acrylic cases Qlavier does.  I second that opinion.

it's meant for tray mount style cases. So wouldnt work with sandwich style would it?

I say it again... FIXED layouts please. Swiss cheese plates can be had from every single vendor, we don't need more of that crap. Make this premium grade stuff for people who knows what they want.

If you can handle it, add more layouts but as different plates.

I think having a universal layout would do the modifiers a bit of disservice with the 4mm. Honestly i think you should do a poll and collect interest in layouts, unless the batch # does not effect price on quantities this low and made-to-order is fine. Unless you are partnering with a vendor, i imagine the GB participation will be small.

Louis did the factory give you indication of how layout options will effect the cost?

I read on discord the first price drop is MOQ of 50. But is that a single layout? or are they factoring in that you will request a number of fixed layout plates?

Exactly what I want. With brass. 4.5 mm would be also acceptable;). Cheers.

I know the site you're talking about - I'm more interested in the CAD that has the cutouts for the switches to lock into place. SwillKB doesn't provide that option, afaik.

The second you start trying to support a bunch of layouts with a plate like this, it starts ruining the design. Look at sprits 5mm acrylic plates, and what supporting split spacebars and everything does to that area of the plate.

You are right. It would have to be a plate on its own with fixed split space layout to make sense...and the demand for that is way too low unfortunately.

Is this plate designed to only be used with specific style keycaps? I notice on my 60% board that my keycaps bottom out exactly on top of the plate. With the switches being sunk in about half way of the 4mm thick plate it seems my keycaps would have around 2mm less travel before bottoming out. My switches have a travel distance of 3.6mm so it seems this would drastically change the feel. Maybe I am missing something.

Keycaps will never touch the plate no matter what plate is being used. The thicker the plate, the further it (the plate) goes down towards the PCB, filling in the gap between the switch and the PCB.

Got all excited to purchase one of these...Then I went to the site and saw that only WKL layout is available and got sad. None of my hotswap pcb's for my 60% cases will work with this.

Oh well, maybe next time.

Are the brass options coated with anything?  So we should expect tarnish/patina?

Oops, just watched the Youtube video. Looks like the matte brass is coated.  NICE!

Okay, with shipping.  Are they still shipping directly from China?  If so, what should we choose for shipping?  Just leave it at free shipping, or will we still get it faster if we choose DHL?  I ask b/c I think it took 4 weeks for my stabilizers to get here and 6 weeks for the FFF switches.  :(

Do you have plans to offer other layouts? I'd really like to pick this up but use different layouts.

Due to the high moq, we will sell WKL ansi first. In the future we will do other layout for sure. Pls join our discord to receive the latest updates.
