bavman requested for me to just take care of the plates, so here it is. Since a Phantom requires and plate, everyone that ordered a PCB should fill out this plate form as well. These are NOT the old phantom plates. I designed these from scratch again to fix a few issues with the old plates, and to add a few new things. Here are some key points:

  • Case compatibility: Filco, /*CM quickfire, PLU-87
  • Stabilizer compatibility: costar, plate-mounted cherry, PCB-mounted cherry
  • every switch to can be removed without desoldering, including all stabilizer switches
  • fixed small spacing offset with whole bottom half of old plate
  • centered or off-center caps lock
  • 7bit’s plate was replaced with Profesist’s requested plate
  • ANS125* - Popular standard layout of mainstream keyboards. ANSI layout with 1.25x bottom modifiers and 6.25x space bar.
  • ANS150* - ANSI layout with bottom modifiers in 1.5x - 1x - 1.5x and 7x space bar. Popular with Cherry or Korean customs
  • ISO125* - ISO layout with 1.25x bottom modifiers and 6.25x space bar.
  • ISO150* - ISO layout with bottom modifiers in 1.5x - 1x - 1.5x configuration and 7x space bar.
  • PRF125* - Profesist’s custom layout. Adds an extra 2 keys in the function row, 5 keys above arrow keys, and additional keys at the stabilizer switches.

    Things that needs to be decided are material and color. Aluminum costs less, but weighs less. However it can be anodized to almost any color. Stainless steel is a couple bucks more per plate, but is heavier and most likely won’t have any color. It’s probably too cost prohibitive to powdercoat, and the powder will throw off the plate tolerances so I’ll have to modify the plate of account for this.
    If you want a hybrid combination of these plate layouts, you can request it but please don’t PM me about it. Half my time on GH is answering PMs nowadays. Make sure it’s compatible with the PCB, make a quick sketch/photoshop of it, post it on here, and if it’s has enough interest I can make it.
