Very true. Wallet is definitely getting thinner.. lolx
But I did got a different shopee vendor to quote for a Aluminium plate for the M3. They are saying with powder coating, it cost RM42 including everything. I have placed an order for it to try it out.

Black. It would be interesting. I just wanted to see what the final product will look like and if it will even fit those switches and case. I'm also not sure how durable the powder coat is. But since the cost was not high, really interested to see how it turns out.
Fingers crossed.

most people commented forged cf plate is mainly for aesthetic. the sound and feel are the same as cf plate.

do you mind sharing information regarding the seller/cutter and the kit that you put this in?

got mw65 rgb 2.0 pcb with clone mcu to work with qmk-0.21.x. the original mw65 rgb used atmega32u4. due to previous chip shortage, the mcu was then replaced with apm32f103cbt6, with a non-standard uf2 bootloader.

the qmk code for this pcb is never made public by mwstudio, as it also needs an additional ld script to compile properly.

this pcb can be used to make kbd67lite with a rotary knob.

i get my sets from various places:
1. drop, e.g., gmk wob might be the cheapest base set that you can get; stock will be refreshed from time to time iinm;
2. zfrontier, there are some gmk, jtk key cap sets;
3. taobao, e.g.,  kbdfans (epbt, pbtfans; their international site offers gmk sets, and they have a shopee store), domikey, shenpo;
4. mymm, i.e., mech market fb group of mymkb.

i usually stick to gmk, jtk, domikey, epbt, pbtfans, for relatively better qc. shenpo sometimes have issues as well, athough it's relatively rare. there are many other brands that are 'praised' for good qualities, but i never try them before.

based on your budget, you can try search for 'shenpo' at shopee. they make dye-sub sets with thick pbt blanks. as long as the shop is selling genuine sets from shenpo, it's ok to get them.

Is buying from zfrontier straight forward? or do we need like any process to purchase from the site?

i would disagree with you regarding on the "mainly aesthetic". To me while i have made for few boards from 60% to TKL,
they all have different tone compare to CF. My first experience with it was with the nazare, so i went on to make more so i can try on more mounting styles. They all have a different tone to normal cf base on my experience.

er it's not me that said that, e.g., https://www.reddit.com/r/mechmarket/comment...n_fiber_plates/

that's why i'm curious about the kit that you put it in that gives you different sound and feel, since you already compared it to a normal cf plate.

right, different boards produce different sound and feels. however the question is whether forged cf is different from normal cf on the same board.

Oh, so en.zfrontier.com vs www.zfrontier.com are different website. I was browsing using the www.zfrontier.com.
I was looking at the WOB keykobo keycaps and landed there.

Yes, i tested with one of the more dintinguish board the Typ65.

Config 1 :-
Forge CF
Soldarks
Top Mount

Config2 :-
Normal CF
Soldarks
Top mount

Config3 :-
Forge CF
Soldarks
Gasket Mount (epdm gasket)

Config4 :-
Normal CF
Soldarks
Gasket Mount (epdm gasket)


After testing them with Soldarks, the bottom out sound tend to have more mid tone over the normal CF. The Normal CF sounds muted to me, maybe normal CF ain't my thing. But i think the best explanation is Alu and CF made a baby(Forge CF)

maybe the main difference is due to aluminum + cf. it's different from forged cf from others.

They do exist as I have bought it a few years back. It was those cheap ABS OEM profile keycaps.
