Know before you buy
No, this plate is specifically engineered for the Sugar65 keyboard kit. It will not fit other chassis due to the unique mounting points and dimensions required for the Sugar65 assembly.
FR4 offers a balanced, slightly stiffer typing feel with a crisp acoustic profile. Polycarbonate (PC) is softer and more flexible, resulting in a deeper, muted sound signature and a more cushioned typing experience.
Yes, the plate is designed to support multiple layout configurations, including ISO Enter and various spacebar sizes like 6.25U and split space, allowing you to tailor the build to your preferred layout.
Installation requires standard keyboard building tools, such as a screwdriver to disassemble the case. Since this is a component for a custom kit, you should be comfortable with basic keyboard assembly and switch installation.
The plate material is a major factor in sound tuning. FR4 generally produces a higher-pitched, 'poppy' sound, while PC tends to absorb more vibration, leading to a quieter and deeper sound profile.
