What customers say
The Owlab Voice65 POM Plate is widely regarded as the essential upgrade for the Voice65 keyboard. Users consistently highlight the dramatic positive impact on both sound and feel. POM material enhances the gasket mount design, producing the deep resonant thock sound many enthusiasts desire while significantly reducing harsh high-pitched ping.

While a premium accessory, the consensus is that the superior acoustic and tactile improvements fully justify the cost. It is viewed as a benchmark modification for maximizing the Voice65's potential.
Know before you buy
This plate is specifically engineered for the soldered PCB layout. While it can be used with hot-swap boards, you may experience less stability when removing keycaps, so exercise caution during installation.
POM is a softer plastic that provides a more flexible, cushioned typing feel compared to stiffer materials like aluminum or brass. It also produces a deeper, 'thockier' acoustic profile, which is highly sought after by enthusiasts looking to tune their board's sound.
The plate measures between 1.5 mm and 1.6 mm. This standard thickness ensures proper switch alignment and compatibility with the Voice65's mounting system.
The PE foam is an optional add-on that further modifies the sound signature by adding a 'poppy' or 'marbly' quality to your switches. Whether you use it depends on your personal preference for sound dampening and character.
No, the performance and material properties remain identical regardless of whether you choose the black or white version. The color choice is purely aesthetic and depends on your preference for the internal look of your keyboard build.
