What customers say
This brass switch plate is viewed as an essential, premium upgrade for the GMMK Numpad, dramatically improving typing feel and acoustics. Users consistently praise the brass for delivering a significantly stiffer, more solid typing experience. This results in a deeper, satisfying sound signature often described as a desirable 'thock,' elevating the numpad's sound profile. Installation is seamless, fitting perfectly into the chassis. The added weight enhances desk stability and provides a dense, luxurious feel. While the price is high, enthusiasts find the investment justified by the substantial improvement in typing fidelity. It is considered a must have modification for dedicated users seeking superior performance.
Know before you buy
The brass plate is significantly more rigid than the stock material, resulting in a firm, solid typing feel. It also shifts the acoustic profile toward a sharper, 'clackier' sound rather than a muted or soft tone.
The plate is designed for Cherry MX-style switches. While it is technically compatible with various switch types, it is specifically optimized to complement the characteristics of linear switches.
Installation is straightforward and only requires a Phillips #00 screwdriver. The necessary screws are included with the plate to complete the upgrade.
No, this plate is designed specifically for Cherry plate-mount stabilizers. Ensure your stabilizer setup matches this requirement before installation.
Yes, the brass material will still produce a 'clackier' sound profile regardless of the switch type. However, the rigidity of the brass is most noticeable when paired with linear switches, which benefit from the added firmness.
