I held off on pulling the trigger on the Sonnet. After seeing the other boards from Mode, I had a feeling they were going to refresh the mounting on the Sonnet. Ordering my board now, Nice Video!
I'm loving that they chose to update the Sonnet without really changing much since it's such a good board! The special colorways look killer, as do their "regular" offerings. Bummer though I was kinda hoping you'd try the copper plate. I've been curious about copper plates as they're not offered very frequently. That said, we've been seeing them more and more lately yet basically none of the content creators are using one in their builds so we still have little idea of what their characteristics are going to be like on different boards and/or with different mounting styles. Maybe next time?
im a fan of 75 this is indeed one of the best sounding and good looking 75, its bad timing that few ago my new 65 from mode just got delivered. i wish i new it earlier
Are the new Sonnet parts compatible the original? Like can I pair my old base with a V2 top, are the parts interchangeable? Also, can the new mounting system be ported over? Sorry for all the questions, I just love my original and thought maybe it could take advantage of the new version's hardware. Edit: It appears the new mounting system is not compatible with the old top case.
@@alexotos Thanks for the insight Alex, do you know if Mode will continue to stock the original Sonnet parts, or once the current stock is gone that's it?
would be cool if you could test lattice blocks with V1 parts, In the mode discord they're "technically" compatible but I wonder if the sound is different at all
late comment, but i’ve watched this video like 7 times to contemplate whether or not i should buy the sonnet. I ended up choosing your special edition 🙏🙏
When I got my Mode65 Extras, I really didn't like that since What I got was pretty barebones stuff. But this one looks really good. Might pull the trigger later down the line!
gorgeous board, still love my OG Sonnet! Now Mode, please, if you’re listening, give us this two piece case and mounting style plus your standard customizability with a WinKey 60%! You’ll have my money!
Things have changed so much in the hobby since I bought the original sonnet and 350+ for a 75% just seems in insane in 2024... especially when cycle8 will be sub $200. Mode is middle-tier at best... they need to price accordingly.
hooooo boy, a fully PC Sonnet looks so tempting but that pricetag is crazy
good keyboards cost but not all cost too much.

The only video I was waiting for ❤

The orange and stone combo never gets old! Wish I could grab one of these, so sweet looking
The orange is so nice! Another banger by Mr. Alexotos 🎉
Mr Toes
Thank you!!!
Been waiting for this!!
Do they by chance will sell the top separately?
I seriously want to get on this one 🤤

So the answer is no officially I believe, but I can always test these when I get the chance! I havent had the board for long yet!

When the next collab ❤ I missed this one!
Obligatory question: Alex, where did you get that cork deskmat? It's smaller than all the others I've seen online.
@@Waldemarvonanhalt I got it from NovelKeys!
@@alexotos Thank you.
I think there should be another collab of the Sonnet but the stone as the bottom and polycarbonate on top! I just got mine!! Can’t wait!!

Much love! I know youll love it
@@alexotos thanks man, had to support!
incredible once again
is this PURE copper or a copper alloy ?
The best of the best 75% layout keyboard on the market. The sonnet cannot be beat in look, finish and sound.
Are those new travel cases as well? The old ones were great but I do like these ones at the beginning of the video too.
Yeah they follow suit with the more recent mode releases, lots of pockets and they are much better than the boxes.
Do an alexotos edition orange alu bottom too. Would be sick

I bought this over TGR Tomo and used TGR 910 v2 me. Hopefully it was a worthy decision!!
I think you are the reason GMK keycaps are always out of stock. You have all of them!
Man, sometimes I really regret getting out of the hobby. I've missed out on so many great boards.

what would you recommend as a higher tier ?
@@red5diamonds2k take a look at the cycle8
I’d like to know as well
@@anderm1598 Spyder TKL is in group buy right now and it's $280.
id also like to know what high tier would be, but im pretty certain you don't have an answer to our question
Has anybody done all PC yet?
The sonnet layout is the best 75 layout. If I could justify this price for a keyboard this one would be on my shortlist but I can't so it's not.
So this is already sold out?
Comes out tomorrow!
I wish the PCB had RGB
A beautiful board for a beautiful man :)
Perhaps a little refreshing that people can obsess about keyboard sounds. Is this a sign that life is so good..... or so bad.
So hard to be financially responsible....😅

Is it just me or does every board he builds sound exactly the same? They shouldn't, but they do.

OooooO
I’m too old school for this. I’m from the THOCC era this just has zero appeal to me just I’m sure amazing to everyone else 😀
you know you can add the foam kit, right?
