Which Plate Material is Right For You?

Changing your keyboard plate could make a big impact on your typing experience. This guide simplifies the process, focusing on the most popular materials: Steel, Aluminum, Brass, Carbon Fiber, Polypropylene (PP), Polyoxymethylene (POM), Polycarbonate (PC), and Flame Retardant-4 (FR4).

Assessing Material Properties:

Each material offers unique characteristics. Steel was the stock plate material on the 2HE & 60HE and offered the firmest typing experience, but not the greatest sound experience for most users. Aluminum, known for its rigidity and moderate sound profile, is a versatile choice. Brass, heavier and with a more pronounced sound, also provides a very stiff typing feel. Metal plates may provide a hint of resonance (brass even more so) and is worth keeping in mind if you are sensitive to that. Carbon Fiber stands out for its lightweight and high-pitched sound profile, ideal for a stiffer typing experience without the metallic resonance. PP and POM offer flexibility and a unique and poppy sound signature, while PC provides a softer typing feel with a slight amount of flex and tends to be one of the deeper sounding plate materials. FR4, same as PCB material, offers a balanced typing experience with good sound absorption.

Considering Personal Preference and Use Case:

Your choice should align with your typing habits and aesthetic preferences. For gaming, materials like Steel, Aluminum or Carbon Fiber are great for their stability and responsiveness. For office use, PC or FR4 can be ideal due to their subtle sound profiles. Aesthetically, materials like Brass and Carbon Fiber stand out for their distinct looks (although not visible while keycaps are mounted).

Actionable Tips:

Match the material with your primary use: Aluminum or Carbon Fiber for stiffer typing experiences, PC, POM, PP or FR4 for softer typing experiences. Consider the sound and feel: Brass for a pronounced and resonant sound signature, PP or POM for a unique sound (poppy) and feel. Think about the weight and aesthetics: Brass for heft and luxuriousness, Carbon Fiber for a modern look that may match your vehicle. Don't overlook the flex: PP and PC for slightly more flexible builds, Aluminum for less. Test if possible: Try different materials at local meetups to experience them firsthand. Our list for plate materials:

From most flexible to stiffest:
• Rank 1: Polypropylene (PP)
• Rank 2: Polycarbonate (PC)
• Rank 3: Polyoxymethylene (POM)
• Rank 4: Flame Retardant-4 (FR4)
• Rank 5: Aluminum (Alu)
• Rank 6: Brass
• Rank 7: Carbon Fiber (CF)
• Rank 8: Steel

Please note there are more plates than what are shown above. These are just some of the common plate materials and as always, with everything in this hobby, things like sound and feel are personal preference and the information above is subjective so YMMV.

For more information regarding how plate materials can affect sound, I highly suggest checking out this video from Scott King of Keybored - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmljIhkHOlI

sick

#

im watching the video

lusty walrus
#

pp is pretty unique and it can give off some treble so i would recommend pc for lower pitch

slate cloak
#

frick it

#

idrc ill js use carbon fiber

lusty walrus
#

great

compact lynx
#

Put a layer of acrylic tape on top of the tape mod that's included with the module

lusty walrus
#

no, dont

#

it sounds very high pitched in person. if you want to reduce it, take the tape mod off and use the poron bottom foam that is included with the owlab case

#

and dont use the pcb pet sheet either

lusty walrus
#

but its okay it doesnt matter
