András has just became ready with the stainless steel plates of our 4th generation prototype. The purpose of these plates is threefold:
- being the super-strong, 1.5 thick endoskeleton of the keyboard,
- being a solid platform onto which the steel guides which hold together the two keyboard halves are fixated,
- supporting the force that is put on the MX switches.
Unlike the previous versions, this version of the plate contains the two half holes that enable the permament interconnection of the two keyboards halves.
