Q3 Aluminum Plate

Swapped the stock plate for this aluminum one and the typing sound is noticeably deeper and more satisfying. The extra weight also makes the whole keyboard feel much more sturdy on my desk.

The aluminum feels noticeably more rigid than the stock plate, and lining up the switches during install was straightforward with the layout options. Really tightened up the overall typing feel on my board.

Installed this in my Q3 and it completely changed the sound — much deeper and more solid than the polycarbonate plate I was using before. The anodized finish feels smooth and high quality, and the fit was perfectly flush with no alignment issues.
