Know before you buy
No, this plate is specifically laser-cut for the Idobao Crystal ID80. It is not compatible with other keyboard models due to the unique mounting points and layout requirements.
POM is a softer, more flexible material than aluminum or brass. Using this plate will result in a more cushioned, 'bouncy' typing experience that is generally less fatiguing during long sessions.
The POM material tends to produce a deeper, more muted acoustic profile compared to the sharper, higher-pitched sound of metal plates. It is an excellent choice if you prefer a 'thockier' sound signature.
No, minor surface scratches are a common characteristic of POM material due to the manufacturing and laser-cutting process. These marks are purely cosmetic and will not impact the structural integrity or performance of the plate once installed.
This plate is designed to work with all standard Cherry MX-style mechanical switches. This includes most major aftermarket switches that follow the standard MX footprint.
