Plate kits for Rev. 1 are not forward-compatible with Rev. 2 PCBs.
Note: For the plate kits, they come with 10mm standoffs for use with Pro Micros. If using the Elite-C, you will need 12mm standoffs.
Supports options for split backspace and split right shift.

The PCB and Plate kits come in 4 different variants to allow you to mix and match halves:
- Left half 60%
- Left half w/2x5 Macro section

The plates are black and are made of FR4 material (was aluminum previously).
A 60% right half can be hot-swapped with a 65% right half and vice-versa without needing to reflash any halves.
