Well remember the time clacky board is not prefered compared to deeper sounding board? I still love using foamy board tho, cant hear nothing when i used my headphones with clacky board
Love this!!! Really awesome seeing the innovations and actually new stuff in the hobby. Congrats Mode on all of your success as well! Looking forward to seeing all the future stuff y'all release!
We gotta hope they sample you man! Low key I may preorder regardless, haha, I’m such a sucker for mode boards and was too late to get in on the sixty five
very excited to see where mode goes from here! only just started seeing these vids in my reccommended as someone whos looking to purchase their first keyboard soon, im definitely going to look into yalls boards
It's so weird how when mechanical keyboards were starting to get popular and forums like geekhack popped up, having the most beefy solid backplate and the most solid case mounting system was considered the best, most desirable typing experience. I guess it's because we were trying to be as opposite from rubber dome keyboards as possible, which were the only mainstream option then. (I'm pretty sure at one point there were even a few people making custom CNC'd mounting plates that were so thick there was no room between the plate itself and the PCB haha). Sorry for the random tangent. Just weird how what people consider to be desirable completely reverses over time. Not that there's anything wrong with that of course. The keyboard looks sick btw!
I thought the same! It seems like gasket mount is what people what because it looks somewhat cool / having the benefit of the lower pitched t h o c c that beginners love. When I started out with the hobby, I also thought that gasket is the big thing that only comes with top-of-the-line keyboards. Then I tried it out and it felt normal, not mindblowing or anything, and now currently using a top mount board. I just wish that there were more budget friendly top mount board, so that people get to see how good a solid typing experience is.
Now this is really cool. Also how ironic because just a few short days ago I saw someone wearing a pair of the adidas 4DFWD and had to stop them to ask what they were. Looking forward to the Envoy! Keep up the great work. Just let me know when y'all team up with Onyx Coffee Lab to create a (GMK) keycap set!
Since this isn't being held in by friction it seems, if you were to flip this over would the PCB assembly just fall out? Or did I miss a part in the vid. Thanks! :)
Hi. I am so exited for this release. I have been eyeing the sonnet for a while now but this just is perfect for me. I was wondering if this would be available with half-plates? Plate-less is heaven
They did the same with the Sonnet as there where almost no sales on the ISO hotswap pcb with the Mode65. I got the solder Sonnet version now and I am really happy with the solder board.
That carbon 3d printer/company has been used for a number of seemingly cool products, but also I primarily know of the company through their interview with Norm from tested for their m1 platform. I still can’t believe how bad that video was though. The interview they provided to tested was almost condescending. Also I still don’t understand why the special curing procedure they claim to rely on is an advantage over the other 3d printer companies who offer different prototyping resins that seem to be equal to their stuff.
I understand why the budget category board started with a 65% because of competition, but will there be other layouts like alice, tkl, wkl or whatever? I'm kinda tired of this layout
@@dragonitefan9678 I understand that there's a lot of 65% competitors and a very popular layout so it's a good business move. I hope they have something similar with a more niche layout in the future though.
Finally a higher-pitched sound profile on a budget board. Typically just foamy and deeper sounding. Looking forward to this board!
This. I feel like PE, Tape etc. is way overused and really just makes boards sound lifeless and generic.

lets not forget the bakeneko60! the korn on a budget
@@razer1158 I don't think sounding unique means it will sound better...
once you go clacc you can never go bacc
Always great to see new things coming to this space. This one seems quite promising:)

Wow. Way to innovate mode. This looks super interesting!

@@ImOnMy116 yeah I’m with you lol. I gotta try it out regardless.
Really great explanation, excited to see the reviews!

Looks like those crazy 3d printed adidas shoes! really cool.
I LIKE THIS IDEA
EXCITED TO SEE THE RESULTS
🙌

Great idea. Hope you guys release 60%! I want to put my alps on that.

Maybe we need to do a coffee themed set of Mode (not GMK) keycaps!
@@modekeyboards Heck yeah. I like that better. Also I’m watching alexotos’s Envoy stream. It sounds amazing.
i am happy for this release. i don't know if i will get one, but i am happy nonetheless.
Would love to check this out, such an innovative design!
🙌
Does the pcb assembly lock onto the mounting blocks or does it simply rest on them? And how strong is that connection if it does?
There are 2 fasteners that prevent the PCB from having any upwards movement, it does not affect typing feel at all
@@modekeyboards will the board come apart when turning it upside down?
I'm getting pretty excited for this!
Us too!
Dope. Super cool innovation!
Glad you like it!

Exactly the question I had!
Oh I’m hyped on this.
Ahh, preferences. Gotta love ‘em!
Classic Mode customization
Presenter does coffee videos too right? Voice is very familiar. Exciting developments here for Mode.
Yup that's me!
Will the sonnet or any other iterations receive this mounting style in the future?
Potentially!
@@modekeyboards well let me know! I’ll buy another sonnet if that’s the CASE;)
If the sonnet(love the side profile and top accent btw) or tkl gets this mounting option I'm buying it asap.
Hey could you tell me what those key caps are?
what happens when you flip the keyboard over?
Fr. It's like a reverse oring mount but without the friction fit

is the plate friction fit as well? it looks like it is sitting on top with nothing to hold it in and could fall out of the case if flipped over

Is there a reason you decided to not support iso on the hotswap pcb or offer a dedicated iso hot swap pcb like you did with the mode SixtyFive?
They did the same with the Sonnet as there where almost no sales on the ISO hotswap pcb with the Mode65. I got the solder Sonnet version now and I am really happy with the solder board.
ISO Hotswap accounted for less than 1% of all PCB sales we've had, historically
@@modekeyboards I'd happily pay a premium to make it available for the Sonnet or Envoy; is there any chance of this happening in the future?
Will there be more founder’s edition?
Founders editions were changed to early allocation units since there was a problem with the smokey polycarbonate chassis
Sheeesh... would love to see a thicker lattice tho for even more bounciness.
We could potentially do that in the future! Infinite possibilities with this design and additive manufacturing process.
I hope there’s a r2 of this too broke rn 🤧 that sound profile is perfect for me
Unlimited pre-order and eventually (hopefully) moved to in-stock status!

Are you the espresso guy?

small swiss cheese mount🤤🤤 im gonna eat them

that flex tho...

Goddammit you guys I just bought a new keyboard! 😢
Would be omgea hyped if it wasnt just another 65% PLEASE make an alice or 60% with this mounting I will thank u
yes!!!! 65% so overdone
@@bearIyy Someone who agrees with me this is some very cool invitation done in a very not innovative layout
@@dragonitefan9678 I understand that there's a lot of 65% competitors and a very popular layout so it's a good business move. I hope they have something similar with a more niche layout in the future though.
"just 189$" 💀
Bro that's considered cheap if you are aware of the previous releases
does this mounting style attempt to mimic the sound of the gummy o ring mount?
We like to consider it an improved gummy o-ring mount!
what layouts do the hotswap pcb support?
