This board was designed to be an old-school-looking 60% with a double F row and a pen holder.
This design was conceptualized nearly two years ago when Plaketdebeur sought to create a design reminiscent of the 1980s era and some of its iconic boards such as the Cherry G80-2100.

Why is this so expensive?
PlaketXL, like many of our more premium keyboards we run, are made through small batch manufacturing.
This means that due to the limited amount of keyboards we get made, prices end up being higher.
This, combined with complex assembly found on lots of our boards and hand QC'ing in our stateside facility means we might not be able to offer prices as low as other options you see.
We strongly feel the time and effort we put into our designs makes it worth it.
Thank you for considering our projects- it means we can continue trying new things and keep designing great boards for the custom mechanical keyboard hobby.

Quality and Content Disclaimer
A Stock units should not have any external scratches or egregious marks seen when built. Any internal flaws and marks (including hook marks) that are not seen when built do not constitute a B Stock unit.
Screw holes are not fully anodized or coated, and small marks near the hole opening might be present.
When raw or thinly coated, brass will oxidize and patina naturally. Small blemishes and discolorations may be visible.
Colors in the final product may vary since renders are done under idealistic artificial lighting.
We use photos of our products in hand when possible to show how they look in realistic situations. Sometimes the product might look different within the same listing- this is generally caused by different lighting conditions. When possible, we try to use different lighting conditions to show what the product might look like in different scenarios.
