Mounting style and plate material are easy to ignore when you are buying your first board. Switches have names, keycaps have colors, cases look expensive, and firmware can be tested in software. The mount and plate sit in the middle of the keyboard, mostly hidden, doing quiet structural work. Yet they decide how a keypress moves through the build: where the force goes, how much the assembly flexes, how sharp the bottom-out feels, and how much of the sound becomes case resonance instead of a clean note.
