Q5 Aluminum Plate

I was swapping plates on my Q5 and this aluminum version gives the whole build a noticeably more solid, premium feel. The ANSI layout lined up perfectly with the PCB and stabilizers, no filing needed.

Installing this ANSI plate in my Q5 took maybe 5 minutes, and the fit is absolutely flawless—every switch snapped in with zero wiggle. It’s noticeably stiffer than the stock plate, which gives the whole board a much more solid, consistent feel when typing.

The matte finish on this aluminum plate gives the whole keyboard a much more premium feel than the stock plastic one. Went with the ISO layout and it lined up perfectly with the switches, no flex at all.
