MK Phantom TKL Plate

The 7Bit layout is a non-standard configuration, meaning it uses specific key sizes—particularly in the bottom row—that differ from standard ANSI layouts. You will need a keycap set that includes the specific 1.5u and 1u key sizes listed in the specifications to ensure everything fits correctly.

No, this plate features a stabilizerless design. This simplifies the assembly process significantly and gives the board a unique, consistent feel across all keys, though it does require you to be precise with your switch alignment.

It is specifically designed for the PHANTOMTKL PCB and is compatible with Filco TKL and KBParadise V80 cases. Please note that using it with a KBParadise V80 case will require minor modifications to the case itself for a proper fit.

Brushed stainless steel is significantly more rigid than the aluminum or plastic plates found in most stock keyboards. This rigidity creates a very firm, solid typing feel and often results in a slightly higher-pitched, metallic sound profile.

Not at all. The plate is engineered with extra room around the switch cutouts, which allows you to remove the switch tops easily without desoldering the entire switch. This is a major advantage if you plan on tuning your switches or springs later.

The plate is designed to accommodate a Teensy 2.0 microcontroller, which allows you to fully customize your keymap and program complex macros. This is essential for users who want to move beyond standard firmware and create a truly personalized input experience.
