Know before you buy
POM is a softer, more flexible material than standard aluminum or brass plates. This provides a less firm, slightly cushioned typing experience that reduces finger fatigue during long sessions.
Yes, the POM material tends to produce a deeper, more muted sound profile compared to metal plates. It effectively absorbs some of the high-pitched resonance, resulting in a cleaner, 'thockier' acoustic signature.
Yes, you must select the version that matches your specific PCB. The Hotswap plate is designed to accommodate the sockets on the Hotswap PCB, while the Solder plate is optimized for a soldered build.
Minor surface scratches are common with POM due to the nature of the material and the laser-cutting process. These are purely cosmetic and will not affect the structural integrity or performance of the plate once installed.
No, this plate is specifically engineered for the dimensions and mounting points of the Space65 R3. It is not compatible with other models in the Gray Studio lineup.
