  Honestly, I was wondering what washers NK was referring to because this is the R1 and I remember that being mentioned in the description.
  
  it's on the underside of the PCB, where the screw for your screw in stabs go in. There should be a washer between the screw head and the PCB
  here's a photo.
context: looks dope!
  might be an unpopular opinion but i think the nk87 is one of the most underrated boards ever. the stabs aren't the best but overall for the price, it's a pretty good tkl, esp if you picked up one of their r1 and just tuned the stabs / added washers
  how do you like the carbon fiber plate? >
  
  Honestly, I was wondering what washers NK was referring to because this is the R1 and I remember that being mentioned in the description. I did put a small 3M disc shape bumper in each corner where there was no gasket to avoid metal on metal reverb. I upgraded to the brass plate on my first one but I believe I over modded the inside so the sound was kinda muted which I would call buttery or creamy if I was putting an adjective on it. I switched to a spongier poron plate foam and bottom case foam to replace the silicone pads and I put on a thin tape mod as opposed to a thicker plumber's tape that I normally use. I saw a test on YouTube were the guy has a different plate from every material that's commonly used and he basically put them through a series of sound tests(uninstalled) so we can listen and compare them back to back.  The difference between the brass and the carbon fiber was gigantic in his experiment but the difference is very small in my builds. There's a little more "chook" slightly higher pitched sound in this one. I can say that the arrow cluster and nav cluster side(the right) are the best sounding with them having that crisp tapping the edge of a snare drum sound I hear the pros get with their boards on YouTube. 
  Yeah. I've seen members on a discord server joking about it before. What's up with that? I'm obviously late because I don't get it. I wonder if it got some bad reviews when it first released. I'm still not experienced enough to notice fine details that veterans can pick up on as far as what's good and what doesn't measure up. You can't beat $135 for a thick aluminum TKL DYI kit anywhere though.
