nice colour. I wish i could have got it because it has an orange accent. BUT ive already ordered my Envoy and I can't wait till it get into my hands. Im completly done with keyboards now. Would be great to get those switches seperatly though.
To add on the comment that it has Tatooine vibes. Kaiju is just so perfect that honestly this is the defacto GMK Boba Fett for me. IDK why but this is much cooler than the GMK Boba Fett itself.
Kaiju was great for this, but I do still think Yuri would've been a bit of a nicer match, though it is bluer and colder, so maybe Kaiju was a better choice to match the linen coat on the case Also agree, more orange on keyboards. Only makers to really do it as of recently are the Wind boards and the Bulwark, the latter of which did it better
Hotswap only makes sense, especially for a collab (limited presumably?). As long as manu’s are doing hotswap PCB’s w/stepped caps support, I feel its kinda perfect haha. It’s harder to justify solder, when you lose convenience and/or increase cost by mill-max’ing yourself.
strange to hear PBT described as glassy and GMK as deep. I have always heard people say the opposite, and have definitely found the opposite to be true in my experience.
Same here, pbt usually sounds a bit more muted / low pitched in my experience, though I don’t have any GMK ABS sets on hand, and most of my PBT sets are mid-tier quality. I figure it’s also gotta be very keyboard mounting style / plate material / switch dependent as well
GMK is definitely higher pitched and livelier sounding in my experience. It's the main reason I prefer GMK over high quality PBT sets like CRP, even though ABS shines more quickly.
PBT sounds almost throaty and like it brings out glassy or hollow tones in boards, especially 21kb. Will never buy another PBT set, ABS just always winning
The difference between a obt and abs keycaps are minimal when all other factors are held constant. A bit lower pitched for PBT is all. There's a reason even GMK is moving to new profiles and using PBT. A lot of what people "perceive" and pass around as facts aren't supported by actual data and when put under real scrutiny by actual experts fall apart quickly.
How do you spend so much time and money on keyboards and not learn how to touchtype? That's like spending a lot of money on a racecar and only driving it around a parking lot. Like buying a beautiful piano but never learning how to play anything beyond "chopsticks". Level up! You get to spend time utilizing your favorite hobby and improve your own skills that are applicable in the real world.
We’re obviously referring to the rubber dots on the feet for this as the ‘Alex O Toes,’ right? Such a great colorway.
I still can't believe how perfect of a match GMK Kaiju was for this
3:45 The exasperated zoom delivered perfectly
There needs to be a petition to do another run of Alex's version. Now that I have seen this, the stock colors just don't do it.
I’m so tempted to get one of these. More people should make orange boards it’s such an underrated color
I swore I would not get another board in 2023, but you are making it super hard to NOT get an Envoy!
that orange on cream is CLEAN
NICEPBT SHINBUN WOULD LOOK SO GOOD ON THIS

you should put gmk nord on the mode envoy mirage

Cant believe I missed this. I want one so bad haha
Hey dude you should do a garage sell for those mode switch pullers thehe.
Shesh that orange and white colorscheme is so good i like it, and keep up the good work.
I' m in love, i need this envoy !
Glad I ordered every weight so I can figure out which I like best. They all sound amazing though!

what is Kaiju?

I was disappointed that this version was only offered with hot-swap, but luckily it's available with 7u regardless of PCB.
wow sounds amazing
anyone knows what's that deskpad he uses?
So you did complain that you didn't have enough envoys to mode right?
Once or twice maybe
@@alexotos Did you beg for the specific colourway as well or did that not have anything to do with it lol
how and when can i purchase this edit version envoy?😢😢
this is gonna be an insta buy
When is this dropping, again? I watched it once but don't remember now. Edit - Found it on the insta. It's August 7th @ 7pm EST.
Will orange weights and accents be available separate? If not… anyone want to sell them to me👀😏
hey alex, i wanted to ask what that neon keycap sign you have in the back is and where I could get one?
This will be my second envoy.
I can’t wait to buy this
Please tell me the name of the desk mat.
That is some of the best color coordination I've ever seen.

hey man, really curious what desk this is. the top looks amazing
Man same here. Looks like smooth cement or something
ikea eckbaken
Is this gonna be an instock buy or an unlimited group buy?
I think he said in stock limited quantity
Very cool build Alex, looks so good 😊 I was wondering what containers you use for your keycaps?
The link doesn't actually take you to the congiuration. Is there a way to buy this
he said it isnt out yet
This would look hard😮 with kaiju
where do you order it
looks cool
!derply
@@nthnhbsn1909 a pt member :O
this + the upcoming MTNU Beige w/Orange accents, maybe?
I got gmk coral ready for this
Omg. How can I get my edition of mode? The creamy, non white, version looks so cool. Looks so retro.
I would just use a vintage cherry gmk set ort a bsp set
nice
It’s nice but I don’t like the orange
i saw people talking about the rocking but i thougbt that was just such a silly complaint
The alu weight is sooooo pingy
Green.
13:30 9:20
I’m kinda salty this is coming out after I already purchased one
Oh I hate that orange with green
ngl its sounds quite hollow and pingy if you know what i mean
yeah could be the switches or the aluminum plate. The other keyboard sounds fine though.
PBT for me always sounds more plasticky and brittle
I would say duller, not plasticky
pringing
