You would notice the difference more if you removed foams. The foams block out a lot of sound frequencies and it hides the cheap sounds from the pc plate. I find aluminum with no foams to be the best sound.
I just installed mine which came in today. I gotta say, the sound is definitely more defined compared to the PP plate. I paired this with CS piano and MOA profile keycaps and the sound profile with this config is definitely a huge improvement.
That's interesting. I know that plate have an impact on the sound but such a difference with a FR plate is impressive ! 😃 For me the difference is more than half a day 😅
does stabilizers and switches fit tightly/snugly into the fr4 plate? i've bought the aluminum plate from the same shop before and unfortunately the cutting is not that good. might even say it has the same cutting quality as the stock plate. some switch slots are loose and some are very tight. as for stabilizers slot, all of them are loose
Just got this keyboard. My first custom mechanical. Though i hate the flex when i apply pressure. Is this better than PC plate? Or should i try POM or aluminium. I want to keep the thocc but reduce the flex as it feels cheap.
@@jtechreviews2021 Yeah it really feels cheap due to flex. Yeah i wanna try alu or fr4. But i don't know what to get. I don't wanna order both. What would you recommend? FR4 or alu? The cost is same for both on aliexpress. i dont want it to flex meaning stiffer feel when i apply while maintaining the thocc. FR4 sounds good in your video. Does it flex when you press hard?
hey! nope, there are 3 different types of FR4. Different cuts, design and materials. Just choose the one you like. I got the P900+ because I like the direction of the flex cut.
I've been debating on replacing the plate in my Hi75 with the FR4 variant, but I'm terrified of removing the knob safely without breaking anything. You're seems to come off much easier. What's your secret? Love the video!
@@jtechreviews2021 Sweet, just ordered the FR4 plate. I have some grippy gloves I might try to use to get the knob off, hopefully I have an easy time! Thanks again! Keep up the awesome content!

nice!
hello do you mean two foams?
FR plate sounds deeper. Definitely an improvement.
Do you think thocky switches would turn out more muted or clacky on an FR4 plate vs the PC plate?

Thanks bro! Plus, it made this entry-level aluminum keyboard very premium by just replacing the stock pc plate. :)
Does it feel like the switches click into the fr4 plate better than the PC plate?
For me yeah. FR4 will make the switch sound more defined especially when you're using a marbly/clacky switches. :)
The pc plate I’d a bit flimsy yea
thanks for the video. Im also planning to change the plate.
you're welcome. go for it! :)

The fr4 that I bought is good. The stabs fits nicely well..
@@jtechreviews2021 thanks! i think i'll get the fr4 plate then
@@nograsstotouch nice!

@@SarveshNaik5 you shoulr try aluminum or fr4. I didn't like the quality of their pc plate, it feels really cheap tbh :)

@@SarveshNaik5 fr4 does not flex and it does not have any pinging, aluminum might have pinging so I guess you have to get the fr4 👍
are you getting 1000hz polling rate? tried to test mine but its just getting 500hz

Love the video!
Thanks! I just grip it tightly (maybe use some cloth or something like that) then pull it with full force. It should come off :)

@@krisalvarez7647You'll be fine man. You can do it. Hope you enjoy the FR4 plate more than the stock PC plate :)
Many thanks for the comparison. Perhaps try using the same keycaps as well, just my 2 cents
well noted bro! :)
