What customers say
The Portico POM Plate Pro is highly recommended for transforming the Portico keyboard experience. Users consistently praise the significant increase in board flex, which delivers a softer, more cushioned bottom out and the sought after bouncy typing feel. A major benefit is the improved acoustics; the POM material dampens harshness, resulting in a deeper, resonant thock sound, especially with linear switches. Installation is seamless due to precise manufacturing tolerances. While a few users prefer a stiffer feel, this plate excels at delivering tangible improvements in both typing feel and sound quality, solidifying its status as a premium upgrade for custom keyboard builders.
