As someone with an Envoy, one of my friends linked me this today while I was at work (because I didn't check my email). I don't think I'll be picking one up personally. Definitely a beautiful board though, and has the nice sound design expected from a Mode board. Not because I don't want to, but because I've built 4 boards already this year and I'm waiting for the Polaris v2 GB...that and I'm broke from building 4 boards this year. Glad to see Mode is coming down in price though.
Good review. Just a few small comments. It would be great if you included more descriptions. At the beginning of the sound test include basic build specs. Also, in the video description include full specifications. It's a nice touch and makes it easy to replicate the build and locate components. I know it's all from the mode website, but it helps a lot. Build Keyboard: Mode Tempo Plate Material: FR4 Foam: Only plate foam, no PE Switches: Obscura Linear Stabs: Durock V2 black Keycaps: Anthracite
Such a great key layout but for one thing. Why couldn't they put the Backspace where the \| is? We hit that key like 1000x every day so why reach for it? And CapsLock is supposed to be Ctrl.
I don't know a lot about keyboards, I have a question why doesn't it have a control key? And are those type of custom keyboards go good for gaming? What would you recommend for a gaming keyboard for less than 150$?
Lewis thank you for being so entertaining and making such high quality content! Your videos have made me really excited about keyboards again!
that means alot :,)
The sound is awesome!
I’m so happy you get free things to review. More content for us 🥂 you deserve it g
Perfect timing. I've been slowly descending into the rabbit hole of custom keyboards lmao
Its deep... Very deep
But its so much fun 😍

Nice job on the review Lewis!
would've considered this if it wasn't just only in hhkb format, 60% would've been amazing
Same, I own an original HHKB and while topre is fun to type on, the non standard layout throws me off when using other keyboards.

MODE TEMPO REVIEW LETS GOOO
lets gooo
Such a great key layout but for one thing. Why couldn't they put the Backspace where the \| is? We hit that key like 1000x every day so why reach for it? And CapsLock is supposed to be Ctrl.
Great video, keep it up 👍
thank youuuu
finally not thocky! no need plate foam though
What is that mousepad on the sound test? I need that clean but still aesthetically pleasing design
I don't know a lot about keyboards, I have a question why doesn't it have a control key? And are those type of custom keyboards go good for gaming? What would you recommend for a gaming keyboard for less than 150$?
the control is actually where caps lock is
please include build specs in sound tests
Nice Key boat

LEWISSSSSSS
YESSS
@@LewisToh YOOO
the website is down right now how much is it
I'm among the Durock stab haters... I'd probably immediately use a different stab. I still hear ticking from some stabs.
niceeeee
yess sir
They messed up hard by going HHKB only
No u
Lewis with no PE foam? Redemption arc
Doesn't sound too great in my opinion but I really love the mounting system they have going on, I'll be giving this a look.
