Just some strips that allow you to run a universal
plate inside a Vortex aluminum case, rather than the stock
steel plate.
If your TKL keyboard can fit a universal
plate, you can probably get it to work in the Vortex case
with these adapters. See the second post for more info.
Colors in stock:(not that you can see them when assembled)
Black
Candy
Red
Candy Green
Price is $15 to the U.S and E.U.
(shipping is included), payable through Pay Pal.
PM me
with your order and I will send you the pay pal address or
send you an invoice if you want.
Package will come in a flat envelope, with 10 pieces, you
need 4 across the front, and 5 across the back.
There is one extra in case something happens such as a bad
print, shipping problems, whatever, I run them in batches of
10. If something does happen though, just let me know, but
even if they break, they would probably still work.
This
is not the case, this is not the plate,
these are only adapters to allow you to use the
universal plate with the Vortex case.
Be aware that you
will need to de-solder every switch in order to install your
plate, I cannot fix that.
If you do not have a
universal plate, you will need to acquire one from a group
buy or from someone selling one.
The adapters, simple,
but more than just a strip.
Installed on a PCB, they slide in between the plate
and PCB, holding them in place.
Installed in the case
Directions:
This requires
de-soldering your switches. If you cannot handle it, there
are people here who can do it for you for a fee. Push the
adapters between the plate and PCB along the top and bottom
edges. The lip, visible when looking down the length of the
adapter, points down, away from the plate. This lifts the
PCB up a bit, and allows for some compression while
tightening the top plate down.
Along the top, slide in
5 pieces. Along the bottom, put one to the left of the
spacebar, one centered under it, and two to the right of it.
Take note of where the stabilizer mounts are as the adapters
need to straddle them. When you insert the assembly into the
case, you may have to fiddle with things to get everything
settled properly into place as it’s a pretty tight fit, so
make sure they are tucked in as far in as they can go. Don’t
be afraid to use the top plate and bolts to pull the
assembly down in once partly in, just beware of warping the
top plate if you do it unevenly. Pretty simple, just fickle.
Bolt everything up tight and enjoy.
Note that the gap
between the top and the base can be larger or smaller
because the plastic has some compression. Just make sure
it’s even. However too small can cause the pcb to ground
itself against the case, causing odd keystrokes. This is not
an adapter issue, it’s a Vortex issue as some have
experienced with the stock plate as well.
