What customers say
Enthusiasts consider the Keychron Q9 POM Plate an essential upgrade, fundamentally improving the typing experience. The primary benefit is the desirable flex it introduces, which softens the bottom out and reduces fatigue during extended use. Acoustically, the POM material excels at dampening sound. It successfully eliminates metallic pings, delivering the deep, satisfying thocky sound profile highly valued in custom keyboards. Reviewers widely agree this plate unlocks the Q9 chassis's premium potential. For those prioritizing a softer feel and a rich, dampened sound, this modification is a resounding success that justifies the investment.
Know before you buy
POM is a softer, more flexible material than steel, which results in a deeper, 'thockier' sound profile and a slightly more cushioned typing feel. It is an excellent choice if you find the stock metal plate too stiff or high-pitched.

The hot-swap holes are manually countersunk to ensure proper switch fitment. This hand-finishing process can leave slight marks, but these are purely cosmetic and will be completely hidden once your switches and keycaps are installed.
This specific plate is designed exclusively for the ANSI layout. It will not support ISO configurations.
Yes, this plate is fully compatible with all standard Cherry MX style mechanical switches. The 1.5-1.6 mm thickness ensures a secure fit for standard switch housings.
