Breakaway backspace plate design

The Bauer Lite plate is designed to support both full and split-backspace options without the normal compromises of your switch being crooked from the lack of proper support. We achieved this with a unique breakaway plate design. By default, the plate supports split-backspace, but just break off the center support with some pliers to use full-backspace!

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

BL rage plate is fire

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.
