Know before you buy
No, this specific plate is the updated version designed exclusively for ID80 Crystal and Bestype models that utilize silicone gaskets. It is not compatible with older ID80 iterations that rely on foam gaskets.
A polycarbonate (PC) plate offers a softer, more flexible typing experience compared to rigid metal plates. This results in a slightly deeper sound profile and less fatigue during long typing sessions.
Yes, the frosted surface helps diffuse the keyboard's RGB lighting. It creates a softer, more uniform glow across the keys rather than sharp, direct light.
No, the package includes all the necessary standoffs and screws required for installation. You will have everything you need to secure the plate to your compatible ID80 keyboard assembly.
You should check your keyboard's internal mounting structure. If your current plate is held in place by silicone strips or gaskets, this is the correct replacement; if your board uses adhesive foam strips, this plate will not fit properly.
