Know before you buy
POM is a softer plastic that provides a more flexible typing feel and a deeper, unique acoustic signature. IMA is a stiffer material that results in a crisper, cleaner sound profile and a firmer typing experience.
No, these plates are precision-cut specifically for the FLX Virgo keyboard. They will not fit other keyboard models.
You should select the layout that matches your keycap set and typing preference. ANSI is the standard US layout, ISO is common in Europe, and the Universal layout offers the most flexibility for various stabilizer and key configurations.
The PE foam sits between the plate and the PCB to dampen vibrations and modify the sound profile. It generally creates a 'poppier' or more muted sound depending on your switch choice.
The POM plate is manufactured to a thickness of 1.5mm to 1.6mm, ensuring it remains compatible with standard mechanical switch mounting.
