Know before you buy
These plates are specifically engineered for the GEONWORKS F1-8x, F1-8k, and F1-88 keyboard models.
Aluminum plates generally offer a stiffer, more resonant typing feel, while PC provides a softer, deeper sound profile. FR-4 sits in the middle, offering a balanced flex and a crisp, clean acoustic signature.
Standard plates provide a uniform feel across the board, while half plates remove material around the keys to increase flex. Sandwich mounts secure the plate between the top and bottom case, resulting in a firmer, more stable typing experience.
The plateless kit allows you to build your keyboard without a traditional plate, which creates a softer, more flexible typing experience and a unique sound profile. It is best suited for users who prefer a more vintage, bouncy feel.
Yes, thinner plates like 1.0mm or 1.2mm typically offer more flex and a deeper sound, whereas 1.5mm or 2.0mm plates provide a stiffer, more consistent typing experience.
No, manufacturing varies by material. Aluminum and some PC plates are produced in Korea, while FR-4, PP, POM, and other PC variants are manufactured in China.
