You’re the real MVP for this.

LMAO you read my ADHD mind. I was literally about to just click away from the video because the sections weren't marked, thank you!

Thanks

This is so helpful! I had to listen to some of the plate because of this made it easier! 💕💕

@Liam-B Год назад

"My PP is gonna feel wildly different from your PP." True that. On another note, it's great to hear someone actually dive into the topic from a high altitude perspective. Thank you!

I feel like keyboards have reached 'audiophile' levels, but am glad there are channels out there that can explain and compare things that affect sound, like Plates.

@ryuuseiSoul Год назад

You have one of the only videos that actually explains the FEEL of the different plate materials rather than just the sound. Thank you very much for this! In my opinion, far too many videos these days are focused on the sounds of the boards more than the feel, which should be equally important.

@Francisco-gz5nf Год назад

Thanks, I was looking at getting a custom plate cut and this really helped aid my design and material selection.

@riahaidan Год назад

Thanks for the detailed explanation. Your description of the FR4 plate is spot on 👌It's not as flexible as I thought.

@gabbychow4026 4 месяца назад

Thank you so much for the video. I’m a newbie to mechanical keyboard. The more I dig the more I need to know! And now i have the concept of what plate to get if I were to modify ❤️🙏😃

Thank you, really love your comprehensive explanations. Could you please cover pcb and case foams/silicones, reasons for with or without foams, etc? And keycap profiles in the future?

Nice vid Simon. Im still new to the hobby so it's nice to see explanatory videos like these! Are there any plans for more content like this in the future?

@Blacksimon Год назад

Sure, why not

@sprazer Год назад

Hey man , Im new to this hobby. I just bought Keychron V1 (tray) then I just learned about the gasket mount on Q1. Im thinking of buying PC plate to use on my V1 but I don't know if I will get the typing experience as the gasket on Q1? I have never tried a gasket mounted keyboard and I don't really know how it feels. Do you have any opinion on Tray mounted keyboard with PC plate vs gasket mounted keyboard with metal plate?

@govgamers2821 Год назад

Hey man, do you think it's worth to change plate for weight reduction? Thinking about using CF plate for that.

@Blacksimon Год назад

Assuming you've already reduced as much as possible with a lighter case, and thinner caps. Sure I guess? Kinda goes against the spirit of plate changes, since those are done for sound and feel before all else. PP/POM and other plastic plates are very light as well, as is FR4, so I suggest you explore those before commiting to a more complicated plate to work with

@haihao2942 Год назад

If i ever wanted a louder sound i suppose i should go with CF instead of Alu?

@Blacksimon Год назад

Sure, or thinner caps, or a thinner sounding switch!

@thomboleyn7 6 месяцев назад

Have you tried copper plates? I am a brass enjoyer and am intrigued by the material.

@lelca Год назад

Any thoughts on Geon's laminated plates?

@dcsoda1 6 месяцев назад

Funny that I’m up to 7 keyboards now and not one of them has an Alu plate. I wonder if PC is more standard at this point. At least for customs.

@ayushdasgupta7716 Год назад

Do you think an alps plateless build would work?

@Purvit Год назад

Simon which plate is going to make my board sound happy?

@jlabs6712 Год назад

Try carbon fiber

@sumkid9263 Год назад

I am still incredibly happy with MX Blacks (60g L springs, L&F) on alu. I love the slight chalky sound with overall such a poppy, bright and positive sound signature. I would say, for a lack of a better word, that this board sounds "happy".

@tys3456 5 дней назад

How does Cooper compare to Aluminum with the same thickness , wrt feel and sound?

@flygonex10 Год назад

In terms of plastic, CF, and plateless, what is the order of low pitch to high pitch?

@Blacksimon Год назад

LOW | Plastics < CF < plateless | HIGH Keep in mind that build matters a lot too, so your results may differ

Thanks for the video! Very interesting. What about copper plates? Rare I know… One thing: I was quite surprised when you said brass plate bottom out was softer than alu. In my limited experience it would as harsher than Alu….

@smigglesmiggles614 Год назад

What about Copper plates??

@danx5005 Год назад

which plate is your personal favorite?

@Blacksimon Год назад

I like a lot of plates, depending on the board and target build. Overall though, plastic (PP, PE, POM, PC) do quite well

Are plates unique to a specific case or plates and cases are universal ?

@shadowasii4492 Год назад

There are certain universal plates for tray mounts, but most plates are specific to their respective keyboards

@gillsejusbates6938 Год назад

Okay my definition of thocky is a deep, creamy sound with an ever so slightly clack. Basically, perfect inks.

@Blacksimon Год назад

Welcome to keyboard hell, where all logic goes out the window From what I can tell in your sound test videos, the keycaps may be effecting the sound a lot more than anticipated, domikey sounds deeper than GMK

@striker_1120 Год назад

What plate material sounds best with alps clickies?

@juchecatgirl Год назад

Most Alps enthusiasts prefer clickies in a firm plate, typically steel or aluminum. Many vintage Alps boards get a big part of their sound from the large plastic case and steel plate.
