for anyone wondering why clouds and milkywhites look different in the start: I'm pretty sure the client switched the stems for those
Yes i did, i mentioned it in the stream too.
I was playing around with frankenswitching the HMXs the night before sending them to alex 😂 told him to have fun with the board and choose whatever tickles his pickle 😂
@@rydang5 which one would you suggest between the clouds and xhinhai ? i'm planning on pairing them with my neo80 with an alu plate :)) any suggestions ?
@@MonkeyDLuffy-pk3xq cant go wrong with either, both are awesome! the clouds have a more mild tone compared to the xinhais. Similar to the cheese switch but with 4mm travel instead of 3.5mm travel.
The xinhais are bright and fun. On alu it might be too loud unless you pair it with foams.
If its a work or heavy usage board i would go for the clouds, also for gaming you wont hear it as much over the mic if you play with other people.
If its a fun hobby board that you dont mind being a bit louder i would go with xinhais.
@@rydang5 thanks for the suggestions man :3 i like loud switches and don't like using foams at all...liked the sound of the clouds 😷 i owned the hyacinths before and fell in love with hmx switches fr ... Now not sure what to go with 😞
VERY bright almost sibilant sounding. Very cool and interesting but for me maybe a little exhausting after a while. Very unique though which I appreciate.
Kinda new montage style, and i really like it! Thank you for another great video!
Thank you so much!
Love the xinhai switches
Loving Xinhais in my Tempo
dang I did not know you could desolder those stupid PCB standoffs! I feel like they add some stiffer points to the PCB/plate assembly I’d prefer not to have! Thanks for sharing!
I love loud clacks but this config (probably affected from pbt keycaps too) sounds too sharp and high pitched ! LOL. FInally hearing what extreme opposite of foam board is, would be this sound. I'd for sure tuning it down to make it sounds fuller/less plasticky but retain that loud clacks. the click clacky sounds just a bit too much, imagine hearing this clacks for more than 10 minutes daily hahahah
clean!
I really need to win the lottery to buy more keyboard stuff omg such a good acent combination
impatiently waiting on the sixtyfive lmao was gonna buy an envoy but luckily i waited a couple days and then they announced it, new back looks so good imo
I’ll be building it soon!
Love your content as always man 🫶🏻
Question: Which are the best stabilizers at the moment?
For an Fr4 plate 1.6
Cherry clip ins
Well, I've removed the spacers from the board and it seems that the overall sound has improved. I don't know if it's my thing, but some keys that didn't sound good at all with them, now do. My question is because these things don't come so that you can decide for yourself whether to remove them more easily without having to desolder.
Xinhais are so good. Have them in my Derivative
so good
For "low pitch" HMX, you can check out HMX Jammy, HMX Eva and HMX Canglan V2
another mode board. yayyy.
My envoy is pc with Morandi switches and the Mitclan GMK’s set papel picado😊 it’s my 2nd kb and my 3rd is going to be the new 65
Hot swap stand offs? I never heard of that before. Interesting.
What is the other keyboard in this video? Is that the Krush 65 with PC case from your other review? Thanks
Xinhai are the best! Using it with arc60
Greetings Alex! just got my mode envoy delivery today and i order for coppper n carbom fiber plate....in term of soundwise , technically which you think has the loudest clacky profile? Thank You❤
Try EVA switches from HMX
moral of the story: get the krush
I love mine but pc version and waiting on the new 65
xinhais are goated
Where is the cork keyboard mat from?
What's the keyboard mat you're using? Is it made of cork?
It's by novelkeys
Where are these keyboards manufactured?
Xinhai!!
This is literally my envoy but with diff switches and cheaper keycaps
Are mode keyboards group buys? What about qwerty keys? I can't tell if they are group buys or something akin to custom orders where you configure and then they make it and send it to you. I'm new to this hobby and I'm not really keen on the concept of group buys. Can someone tell me?
Most Mode keyboards are sold in stock on their own website. I think pretty much all QK boards have been group buys but you might be able to find extras through local vendors.
@@murai_maquina so if I want to buy the neo65(by QK) then the only option is a group buy?
@@murai_maquina So if I wanted to buy the neo65 by QK then my only option is s group buy? I can't tell if the neo65 is a group buy or in stock, like mode.
anyone know where he got the thick orange usb c cable?
Ordinary labs!
sounds almost like a solenoid
Could you build a version of my keyboard?? 😅 i have a neo65 with hmx sunbeams, alu plate, plate foam, and gmk botanicals. I feel like this is the pinnacle of keyboards but I would love to hear how you felt about it if you heard it 😂
way too plastic-ky
pbt caps sound horrible in this configuration
