What are the dimensions of TKL Plates?
« on: Wed, 15 July 2015, 13:38:39 »
Quick thread to ask for the dimensions of TKL Plates. I haven't been able to find any definitive numbers through google.

My QFR plate is 348×128 mm without the part bent downwards.

It varies a little bit, because there isn't a hard and fast standard for spacing between the alpha cluster and F-row, or between the alpha cluster and nav cluster. If there's a particular case you're trying to fit, you need to look for already-existing plates that fit that case, and use those dimensions. If you're building your own case, you have all the flexibility in the world.

Universal just means that they don't restrict you to a particular key layout -- at least that's how I've seen it used.

CAD files for phantom plates are available here: http://deskthority.net/wiki/Phantom
You should be able to get the dimensions out of that, if you have something that can open .dxf
