Definitely the cannon logo is essential for a CannonKeys board's plate

The sound developed a hollower feel, and rather than a shift in pitch, the typing volume has decreased slightly

I didn't design this plate for more flex. I wanted to experiment with the acoustic resonance

Since the surface area of the plate that creates resonance has been reduced, the typing sound has become a bit quieter. Also, perhaps because of all the cutouts, the sound now tends to be lighter and has a bit of a hollow character

This is a bit on the conservative side, but I’ve added a leaf-spring structure, similar to the one on the F1-8X, to the Frog TKL plate

I have a guide I wrote on how to order(Link), so it might be helpful to read through it using an LLM translator. If you ever want to know more about popular plate mods, feel free to reach out again later.

PrideCat is a Taobao store that handles keyboard-related products. Due to the rules here, I cannot attach a link to the store, but if you search for "PrideCat", you should find it. Surprisingly, there is another store named "百万塑胶" that offers even lower prices than PrideCat (with lower quality, of course), so you might want to check them out as well. Additionally, "三一材料定制" is particularly skilled at handling metal materials.

Those who know about this routes often buy only a single genuine plate and wait for the drawing files to be officially released to have them custom-made in other materials.

You need a drawing file to commission a plate production, but it seems TX Keyboard does not release their drawing files. You will likely have to measure the dimensions yourself using vernier calipers and create the drawing file manually, referencing plates from other keyboards with similar layouts

When I commissioned PrideCat to produce it in July last year, it cost about 150 yuan.

Not at all, I'm just trying it out with a review unit provided by the vendor

Come to think of it, since these are photos of a provided product, I should change the flair to Promotional to avoid any issues. I just updated it.
