Just built mine today with DOOM switches and I’m really digging it! The look, the sound and the quality all make this build a solid option. I’m newish to the hobby and these directions were all I needed.
Honest to god modes support team is awesome. I switched up options on my order multiple times and they were always eager to help. They’re doing great things in the keyboard hobby 👍🏼
I used this guide to build the board, and I have absolutely no regrets investing in one. The typing feel is comfortable, sound is excellent and the RGB on the Polycarbonate is outstanding. I am clearly very biased towards Mode, but for good reason.
Just got my Envoy assembled. This video helped. I had trouble determining which side of the case foam is the top. Decided to just follow this video, even though I think it's the wrong side up in the video. Probably doesn't matter lol
I like how this time around they put a warning against accidentally scratching the chassis, have done this on the sonnet lol. Luckily its not on the outside!
do you need to install stand off screws? i didn't do it on mine and it seems fine. By the way I love this keyboard. it sounds soo good with pom plate and ws onion switches.
Hey, love my Envoy, but I have issues connecting it to via. It gets detectet but it will not show the remapping window - main screen still shows that authorize button although I authorized it already. Is there a json file I need to load?
I feel it was cheaper to buy an ensembled bord from Mode itself. You do have to pay for shipping and VAT at import, but you also get good switches and keycaps. If I buy all that separately at an EU vendor, I easily spend more money than ordering at Mode directly. If you don’t want Mode’s switches and/or keycaps than waiting on EU vendors is a good option.
@@Ken_Jones yes I’ve joined GB from Germany vendor named Keygem. I’ve bought the barebone kit(keyboard without switch, stabs and keycaps) so it was kinda expensive but after tax and shipping totally cheaper than US so waiting here to mode sending products to vendors lol.
@@janmichaelsuarez2996 to explain it more in depth, testing the pcb out of the box gives you a legitimate case to get a replacement, since it was broken when shipped from Mode. If you assembled the entire board and THEN realized the pcb didn't work, you likely wouldn't get a replacement because you arguably may have broken the thing yourself.
@@mangoman5245 wt value lolll and u do know with customization builds u eventually lost a bit on everything right? theres a reason why traditional good sounding and feeling boards only stick to one style of mounting. but hey, ure definitely mode's target audience rofl im not the one paying for this stupid price lol
@@x3LightNinGif its not in your budget then its not in your budget no reason to cry about something you cant afford when theres other options out there, but its definitely not overpriced as far as keyboards are concerned considering things like the lz cls,paragon,delta 50 etc & most hhkb boards are priced higher because theyre usually bought by people more into the keyboard scene bc of layout & materials(copper/silver machining,flawless coating,mount & pcb) but i can sense youre the budget board type so stick to those(which isnt an issue until you trick yourself into thinking theyre the same as premium boards) and stop complaining and disrespecting people because they can get what you cant and like what you dont, amazes me how dumb people are these days... after rechecking the price since when is a base $260 in stock hhkb,multiple mounting, w actual customer service and replacement parts w flawless materials/coatings overpriced? stick to your nk65s if thats the case bc keyboards definitely arent for you lmao
@@coolieee tldr, i own a kohaku and merisi ottan and jane v2 ce if u wanna slap me with the budget nonsense. and im telling u with this shit ass price u definitely can get sth better, hell ill take a neo65 and cycle7 any day, and im glad mode is dying after 6 months of this comment lol get this trash designer off the scene already
@@coolieee oh trust me baby girl i can afford stuff way more than this, this doesnt change the fact that mode is overhyped priced trash lol its not terrible, just not worth it

I gotta say I love how the mode keycaps have the profile embossed on the inside of the cap itself. More caps need this.
I can't wait to build mine

I just received mine today and I'm very pleased with the product. Thanks for making a wonderful product. Well done!

so excited to receive mine!
this envoy is so good im thinking about getting another one in another color. damn bro you guys did such a good job on it
I just ordered mine today and I already can't wait to build it! Seems like such an awesome keyboard
This is the best build guide I’ve ever seen
Just ordered mine!!!
This is the perfect balance between having an option that is affordable enough and an option that is premium, well doen Mode!
This makes me more eager for my Envoy!
Such a great and informative build guide, can’t wait for mine to show up 🎉
mine came in! time to build!
Such a great product!

Any alternative stabilisers to the Durock v2 to recommend for the Envoy? It’s a pcb screw in right?

Do you recommend to lube the Mode Obscura switches? I read they are already lubed
We think they're great stock!
@@modekeyboards thanks! I believe you, it saves me the trouble to lube them 🥳👍😁🤩
6 months later I have to say that I tried a 3 other switches. But the Obscura are the most awesome. Love the Mode Envoy.
if anyone is confused like me, I think he misspoke calling it a m2.5 at 2:45.I used the M2
Let’s go! When will you send the keebs to the EU vendors? Still ETA Q4 2023? Also great video!

Les go
Me when:
Envoy:
Mode❤
the link for the written build guide is broken
wireless pcb when 👀
May update ??? When
What if I need to use an F key? (Ex. F1, F2, F3)
Layers!
@@modekeyboards oh cool. I just ordered mine. Can't wait!
does this mean its shipping soon :P
Fulfillment still on track to start this Summer!
Will y'all make a red version?
Possibly!
Wish it came with 2 modes
where is sound test?
whats the website again for testing the pcb?
usevia.app
@@modekeyboards can i skip this step and just assemble the keyboard?
@@janmichaelsuarez2996 I wouldn't. It's to protect your purchase.

I am still somewhat confused how the lattice mount is different than gummy o ring
Different material, implementation, feel, sound, and imo just better
60% next?👀
👀
wrong link in the description there bud
The case foam isn't in the right position in this video.
wat keycaps is that ser?
Mode's own anthracite keycaps
way overpriced tbh
For its value and customization no
