Know before you buy
Polycarbonate is significantly more flexible than the standard steel or aluminum plates found in most keyboards. This added flex creates a softer, more cushioned bottom-out feel that reduces finger fatigue during long typing sessions.
Yes, switching to a PC plate typically results in a deeper, 'thockier' sound profile. Because polycarbonate is a softer material, it absorbs some of the high-frequency vibrations that metallic plates tend to amplify.
You must match the plate to your specific V3 configuration. Check if your keyboard has a volume knob and whether you are using an ANSI or ISO layout, then select the corresponding option to ensure all screw holes and cutouts align perfectly.
Installing the plate requires disassembling your keyboard, which involves removing the keycaps, switches, and case screws. While it is a straightforward process, it does require patience and a steady hand to ensure the PCB and plate are aligned correctly.
The package includes the PC plate and the necessary screws for mounting. You will need your own set of tools, such as a screwdriver and a keycap/switch puller, to perform the installation.
