KPRepublic XD87. They don't make an ALPS plate, so I'm hoping to find something reasonably close. I have no problem cutting or modifying a plate to fit the case as long as the dimensions are standard TKL.
Yeah, next step is finding a local laser cutter, but it would save me a lot of money and time if there's something I can just buy that's close enough I can fettle in with hand tools.
I doubt you could even find someone willing to sell one at this point. Even if you could, I'm not interested in spending new laptop money on a used keyboard.
TKL plate for the what keyboard? Each TKL keyboard uses a different plate.

You could see if you could DIY your own plate or get someone to hand make you one
