Best customization tool for mechanical keyboard enthusiasts seeking unique typing experiences.
Elevate your typing experience with the Ikki68 Extra Plates from Wuque Studio. These plates offer enthusiasts the ability to customize their keyboard's feel and sound by swapping out the default Carbon Fiber plate for alternative materials like Brass or POM. The Carbon Fiber plate is the standard for the Ikki68 kit. While the POM plate comes exclusively in white, the Brass options are noted to potentially interfere with Bluetooth on the Ikki68 Pro, making them ideal for the wired standard version.

What customers say
Enthusiasts highly value the Wuque Studio Ikki68 Extra Plates for deep customization and sound tuning. Users consistently praise the excellent manufacturing tolerances and perfect fit, which prevents rattling or misalignment. Satisfaction centers on the functional diversity provided by material options. Polycarbonate and POM are favored for introducing desirable flex and a softer, thockier acoustic profile. Conversely, Brass and Carbon Fiber deliver a firmer typing experience and higher pitched feedback, allowing precise tailoring of feel. While quality is lauded, some users note minor friction regarding the value proposition of premium materials like Brass, given the increased build cost. Stock shortages occasionally cause minor frustration. Overall, these plates are essential accessories that significantly elevate the typing experience through acoustic and tactile refinement.
Know before you buy
Swapping your plate material significantly alters the keyboard's acoustics and flex. Brass provides a stiffer, firmer typing feel with a higher-pitched sound, while POM offers a softer, more flexible experience with a deeper, muted sound profile.
While the brass plate is physically compatible, it is not recommended for the Ikki68 Pro. The metal construction can interfere with the Bluetooth signal, so it is best reserved for the wired standard version of the keyboard.
These plates are designed for standard Cherry MX style switches. They will work with the vast majority of mechanical switches currently on the market.
No, the POM plate is currently only available in white. It is a great choice if you prefer a softer typing feel and a more muted sound signature.
You will need to disassemble your Ikki68 case to access the plate. Since this involves removing your switches and stabilizers, ensure you have a switch puller and the necessary screwdrivers on hand.
