Bauer Lite Plate

In the wise words of Captain Holt “I see a pair of thick, weighty [BRASS PLATES] and all logic flies out the window.” Seriously, these brass plates are great. They really add a good bit of weight to the Bauer Lite™️, pair it with a Bauer Lite™️ chocolate bar weight and you have great DLC content for a game of Clue. Rate it 6 or 7 out of 5 pick one up today!

Also love the look of the brass plate in a clear board w/ GMK MV EXPO.
Really want to try the weight along with the brass plate, Bauer Lite-Heavy, dont forget to put in the foam like I did.

Im a die hard cherry mx on alu plate fan. This was the perfect extra to get my fix on the already stellar bauer lite. Not much to say other than you cant go wrong with cherry/Alu/GMK. Got the miscut and didnt notice any difference with not using one ****.

It help with making the board sound louder

The Bauer Lite rage plate gives a sharp sound. Not to mention that the look is amazing when seen through the keyboard's transparent frame

Love the sound, think it’s better than the PC, I would absolutely recommend if you are a Bauer lite owner.

Really elevates the sound of the board. Highly recommend

These aluminum plates are the best that I’ve personally used in any keyboard. They feel substantial in hand, and I was blown away by the color - especially the coastal and alien variants!! The best part is that once you remove keycaps, the switches stay in place!! There's nothing better than solid implementation!

Assembly Tip: I initially struggled to attach the T10 screws to the plate using the method described in the instructions. I am sure that the instructions work perfectly for the regular plates, but the aluminum plates, I did the following:

1) I started by taking the bare plate and holding it at an angle where I could take one of the tiny countersink screws and thread it through one of the holes.

2) While keeping one finger on the top of the inserted countersink **** on the top of the plate, I fastened one of the round post connectors to the same **** on the bottom of the plate. This can be easily tightened by hand and secured afterwards using any T6 **** on the top of the plate.

3) Repeat for each of the five remaining screws.

4) Once complete, align the plate with their designated holes on the top of the PCB (if you have the silicone dampener) this helps with alignment IMO).

5) While holding the assembly together, turn it upside down so that you’re looking directly at the post holes at the bottom of the PCB. Thread your T10 screws (short) into each post holes. Again, hand tighten to keep them in place and then use a screwdriver to secure them afterwards.

6) Enjoy!

I hope that Omnitype can get more of these aluminum plates in soon. I would personally love to see one readily available in every color, but I have no idea how much that would cost in terms of inventory.

La plate en polycarbonate rien à dire c'est une valeur sûr dans le monde du custom.

Perfect condition

I bought an alu plate for my Bauer Lite build. It shipped extremely fast to the EU, only took 2 business days, if I recall correctly! That's faster than a lot of other shops take to just get the package out the door, very impressive! The plate itself is of great quality. I bought the "chalk" version. It looks great, and arrived undamaged. I was able to use it in my build without an issue, and it sounds fantastic paired with MX2A Nixies and a GMK keycap set. My only (minor) gripe is that the plate, at least in this finish, scratches extremely easily. I have to be extremely careful with the switch puller not to leave any marks on the plate. But it's not a huge issue since the scratches are invisible underneath the keycaps. I also don't know if there's any way to avoid this with this type of material and finish. Overall very happy with this part!

Impressively high quality and fast shipping

I ordered a red alu plate to upgrade my Bauer Lite. The color is stunning and it adds quite a bit of heft, both to the weight and sound of the board.

I also appreciate that there's an option to buy B stock plates at a lowered price, especially since the defect is just one misplaced standoff **** hole, which isn't a big deal when you consider that alu plates don't really need standoffs.

Quality is top notch! The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars is because I can’t use a large number of switches due to the plate tolerance being too loose. The HMX switches I have on hand are too loose to use with hotswap. Otherwise, I love the extra heft the plate provides!

They work although is miscut. Just skip the standoff.

Very nice plate. Nothing too special, it’s an aluminum plate. What more could you ask for?

This plate looks and sounds great in my SB0. Also bought the reaper edition to put in my First Edition BL.

Amazing keyboard. Couldn't be happier with the quality and sound profile for the price. My favorite build yet.
