beautiful board! Would be curious to hear how it sounds in the aluminum case (looks like that copper bottom rightfully really inflates the price) with a plastic plate (saw they’re offering polypropylene now which is a big win IMO), I feel like CF tends to be pretty harsh and unforgiving, but recognize it’s all preference and can sound great with some builds / mounting styles
Yeah I definitely wanna try a softer plate with top mount! I love CF personally but I can see how some people may not like it! I really love the overall sound we got out of this guy!
@@thecaptainsterlingabsolutely, sounded great in the gasket mount! And despite what I said above, I just soldered a CF half plate build for a gummy o ring 60, and actually really like it, so what do I know about my own preferences even? haha
The main problem with mode’s keyboards is that you can’t over spec your board otherwise it will have terrible value. Even the base price is not that competitive anymore. But I do value mode’s in-stock strategy and it sells everything you need for a build, which is excellent for new customers to get into this hobby.
Respectfully disagree. You can’t expect a value board with premium materials like a full copper bottom. That’s just a great way to go out of business. Can’t expect value for the high end complements.
The base configuration doesn't cost much more than the Envoy. But I still prefer how the Envoy looks in Polycarbonate compared to this one. I'd definitely want to pick this up with the aluminum case in the future though, nice to have so many customization options
It’s much cheaper if you get the aluminum bottom. Copper is just more expensive for the amount of copper you’re getting. The pricing of that makes a lot of sense.

@@rickyd454 what about Machina orbit65? I know it was a group buy. But you can get the full copper bottom for $100 less.
Wait actually true and based
I love this switch too. Sound very nice and bright, love it
Between this and the Sonnet and Loop which is your favorite overall?
Your videos are great and always super helpful!

thanks for the review. how do you compared this to the Protagonist?
Both feel amazing and are super clacky. I think it totally depends on layout and design preference for you from there!
Which mounting style you used in the 1st build?
Very nice very smoochable. Cream and copper is a good combo!
Can you imagine that I already have two SixtyFives infront of me?
@@davidcai3600 you need 5 more then 🤔 😂
nice board! did you use any foams for this one?
Whats the deskmat you have there? @thecaptainsterling
Nice top down camera!
Beatiful board, I am debating this and a fully loaded zoom65 v3. Btw where are those pokemom artisans from they are sick!
Yeah I’m really loving the board!
The artisans are from Scraft!
What color badge is that?
Keycaps on the Loop?
GMK Boho!
@@thecaptainsterling I need! Can't find a set on r/mm :(
@@K1LO_ I’m sorry!!
GMK BOHO IS MOST UNDERRATED KEYSET OF THE HOBBY CHANGE MY MIND
Insane price with their copper bottom, no thanks.
