Understanding Keyboard Plates and PCBs
Dive deep into the world of mechanical keyboard plates and PCBs. This page not only lists a wide variety of products but also provides insights into their importance, types, and how they impact your typing experience. Use our filters to narrow down your search and find the perfect components for your build.
What are Keyboard Plates and PCBs?
Keyboard plates are positioned between the switches and the PCB (Printed Circuit Board). They provide a stable mounting surface for switches, contributing to the overall feel and sound of the keyboard. PCBs are the backbone, housing the circuitry that registers keystrokes and communicates with your computer. Together, they are fundamental to a keyboard's performance and durability.
Why are They Important?
The choice of plate material (e.g., aluminum, brass, polycarbonate, FR4) significantly affects typing feel, sound profile, and keyboard flex. A rigid plate like brass offers a firm typing experience and a higher-pitched sound, while a softer material like polycarbonate provides a more cushioned feel and a deeper sound. The PCB determines features like hot-swappability (ability to change switches without soldering), layout compatibility, and backlighting options.
Finding the Right Plate and PCB for You
Consider your desired typing experience, sound profile, and budget. Do you prefer a stiff or flexible feel? A loud or quiet keyboard? Our extensive collection features plates and PCBs from various manufacturers, in different materials and form factors. Use the filters on this page to sort by material, size, vendor, and other features to find the ideal match for your custom mechanical keyboard project. Whether you're building from scratch or upgrading an existing board, the right plate and PCB can make all the difference.
