What customers say
Users overwhelmingly praise the Matrix Lab Falcon POM Plate Pro for significantly enhancing typing feel and acoustics. The Polyoxymethylene material delivers a highly desired deep thock sound profile, setting it apart from standard metal plates. A key benefit is the noticeable flex and cushioning the POM provides, resulting in a softer, less fatiguing typing experience that pairs exceptionally well with linear switches. Fitment and manufacturing quality are consistently excellent. While those preferring zero flex might find it too soft, the plate is considered an essential tuning component for enthusiasts seeking the ultimate soft and resonant Falcon keyboard build.
Know before you buy

POM is a high-strength plastic that offers more flex than aluminum or brass. This results in a softer, more cushioned typing experience that reduces finger fatigue during long sessions.
The POM material tends to produce a deeper, more muted sound profile compared to the sharper, higher-pitched resonance of metal plates. It is an excellent choice if you prefer a 'thockier' or more subdued sound signature.
No, minor surface scratches are a common characteristic of the POM material and the manufacturing process. These marks are purely cosmetic and will not affect the structural integrity or performance of the plate once installed.
Yes, the 1.5-1.6mm thickness is the industry standard for mechanical keyboard plates. It ensures that your switches will snap in securely and maintain proper alignment with the PCB.
