Introducing the New Mode SixtyFive

[@seishun9611]

I don't need another keyboard. I don't need another keyboard...

[@0xBULLgogi]

Especially another 65% right? sheeeeeesh i'm probably gonna buy it lmao I already have 4 65% including the envoy hot damn

[@FAD-ln1nk]

What makes you special as a company is that you have passion for both your products and your customer feedback. That's why you're so popular. Typed this on my Sonnet 😊

[@Xxav88]

They also leave no room for confusion or misunderstanding which is greatly appreciated.

[@Xxav88]

@SilverJoystix that they cover all possible questions anyone can have with their product announcements. I didn’t think it was hard to understand.

[@FAD-ln1nk]

@SilverJoystix How are you possibly confused by his statement, that's the real question. Also your phrasing could use some work.

[@cordoz]

This is what we call endowment effect and sunk cost fallacy

[@JonathanElkin-vf3kf]

I concur! I typed this on my Envoy :D

[@RoboKeebo]

Appreciate you guys going from only one sound test with PE foam for the Loop to having a buttload of sound tests with a bunch of different configs for the 65! Keep it up mode :- )

[@franksam8610]

What I love about this is not waiting for a year etc. thank you.loving it and will be getting me a few extras to play with combos! Also extras for my envoy in case for back up and mixing.

[@rydang5]

Im super pumped for this! Love what mode does as a brand. Something special about them. Quality/affordable/in stock. Everything a keyboard should be

[@debedebs]

Sonnet with the lattice blocks would be so nice

[@modekeyboards]

🧐

[@markpew8111]

This board looks incredible! And the sound tests… chef’s kiss. Really excited about the keyboards Mode has been putting out, and how they listen to community feedback. Great work!

[@winds10]

You guys are impressive. I love my Envoy. The new SixyFive looks amazing.

[@benjaminli188]

2:13 Osume's keycaps just look so good. Hopefully I'll be able to get my hands on a SixtyFive one day to put them on.

[@d-floe]

Id love so see this in a 60% form factor. The Tempo was cool but the strict adherence to HHKB blockers was a deal breaker for me

[@modekeyboards]

That's understandable! Perhaps we'll revisit the 60% form factor down the road.

[@frankhoang9819]

The customizations you can do for this keyboard is insane!!!

[@TheBrokenEclipse]

Only 3 things I would change in this almost perfect board for it to be my dream board: 1. That we could see the bottom weight in a similar fashion as we can in the gorgeous Sonnet (I love that curve in copper!) 2. It was available in Europe 3. We could have it in a 65 XT format for some additional keys Keep doing what you're doing Mode, you're absolutely killing it!

[@modekeyboards]

2) International Vendors will be available! More information on that to come soon.

[@Moritz.Langen]

Oblotzky will offer the 65.

[@vengence747]

so there will be an iso layout? if yes im sold @@modekeyboards

[@phuclake4815]

i love old accent and weight.

[@Moritz.Langen]

Ok apparently he does not. Sorry for misinfo.

[@iLuvCats]

This is gunna hurt the pocket book. I can't wait

[@ElNath645]

Looking forward to the new 'Dawn' color way! I don't see anodized champagne boards very often and I'm thrilled. 😊

[@Owsz]

This board is insane, can't wait to get my hands on it!

[@RoboCobeh]

9:22 I think it'll be interesting to see how much the 2-piece case design affects the underglow for full PC builds vs the PC Envoy. I would imagine the two frosted surfaces contacting eachother cause the light to propogate less than a unibody design.

[@DMCnME]

The PE is so subtle on these, at least across KZbin. Sounds great. That black and copper... take my money now.

[@_sshisui]

you can make a yin yang circle on the bottom maybe using a transparent black piece with a white transparent half on top also for future iteration you might be able to add a wider back with the option to mount a knob, either on the left or the right, or simply using this version here so you can still use it. maybe a knob on the left and and a mini display with the time or temps

[@justinhairston4341]

The copper is so clean 🔥Well done MODE!

[@infinikeys]

I love the way you guys design this: we can still use Envoy PCB ;)

[@modekeyboards]

same PCB!

[@infinikeys]

@@modekeyboards oh my bad. So can we still use existing Envoy PCB (with SixtyFive 2024's plate)?

[@ialbertoxx]

Now i think my envoy has to have his older brother with him. Thank u Mode for creating this need in me... SO EXITED FOR THIS BOARD!

[@denniscordovez3948]

typing this on my Sonnet! I might get my next mode board! What a beauty!

[@melancholic213]

from the Cerakeys sound signature of ultimate thocc... that will be our basis of how max thocc it gets! Nice!!

[@ItsJMW]

Hello keyboard fam. This will be my next build but depending on what would help create the best thock/creamy sound/feel. Also what switches(linear) and PBT keycaps

[@th0mahawk]

Hopefully solder pcb with more r5 options would be nice. I held off on the v1 mode65 for that reason

[@Nikku808]

"An end game configuration." Proceeds to buy all the extra add-ons*

[@cyclode9584]

The dawn color will be perfect on my kkb alhambra

[@SylvainProov]

but still no wireless option ? 😢

[@ImOnMy116]

great to see PP as a stock plate option, got one cut for my Sonnet, and I’m a big fan!!

[@Krynis]

ordered mine with double poly the day the pre order went live, replacing a Keychron Q3 that will be moved to my craft desk.

[@ohxtg]

every single board was beautiful

[@namrehtv2746]

Next video : tungsten and deplete uranium keyboard

[@Tacet137]

With iridium weight

[@Capitan_Cavernicola_1]

Really nice keybords! is it possible to buy your keyboards with an ISO layout (for european keycaps) assembled or without having to solder switches etc?

[@cxvrguitar]

Can the SixtyFive achieve the thocky-poppy sound like Rainy75?

[@Jspiggies]

starting at "just" $249 is crazy. Cannot imagine the profit per keyboard you will make. What a business 👏👏👏

[@jiajianliu6779]

Can we have some non-flex cut solder PCB please... The shock is a bit too big when typing on alphas without foams. Typed this on my OLD SixtyFive

[@modekeyboards]

Both solder and hotswap PCBs have no flex cuts

[@mochabear1097]

dave2d is gonna love this keyboard

[@sekf]

omg i didn't realize you are from mode designs, i knew you as itsxris from the coffee channel only, these 2 hobbies definitely overlap! haha

[@jared489]

How do we still not have wireless?

[@bartholemumk1437]

PC with dawn accent + GMK Civ here I come

[@Atoto_nZk]

Ok but do you know how magnets work ?

[@MarbsMusic]

Very exciting, so many options to choose from!

[@jordanstahl472]

No fast trigger? Wooting is still the gamer choice for keyboard sadly

[@Kushanody]

love the board wish the magnetic accent was bigger tho or ran down to the bottom of the board. Likely will still be picking one up regardless. Looking at the protagonist too atm so we shall see.

[@narenakurati]

Great looking board, but no wireless is a shame!

[@bjholland8322]

does the hotswap pcb have underglow?

[@TheLiftedOne]

I’m all for more 65’s but as an envoy owner it doesn’t make sense to buy another Mode 65 layout unless the mounting system was completely different (ie o-ring)

[@nkydbarbie]

Is Mode envoy's pcb compatible with the new 65, i have a few of them laying around

[@connorcroteau7741]

yes

[@silentKeys20]

No rose gold accent option? :(

[@modekeyboards]

Crema Tops, Bottoms, and Badges are available

[@121bradm]

Yes, we're calling it Dawn

[@fearsomezq]

why must i always be broke when a new banger keyboard comes out

[@bearoverthere2001]

Any plans for wireless design in the future?

[@mattdemoraes]

The redesign looks incredible. No compromises there as usual. Wondering if you have been able to create more flex than the original 65 from the lattice blocks? I found the original too stiff but maybe that was just the brass version? Thank you folks

[@modekeyboards]

Way more flex with the new SixtyFive!

[@mattdemoraes]

@@modekeyboards 🥳☺️

[@deanwalker321]

we love the flex don't we matt

[@mattdemoraes]

@@deanwalker321 We also love the Mode... ^.^

[@121bradm]

@@mattdemoraes You can also try removing the middle top mount plate screws, I often run my original sixtyfive with just the outer 4 plate screws in isolated top mount configuration and its very bouncy. Highly recommend!

[@whiskeredgundam7765]

Love yalls design, just wish you would make a 40%.

[@aaronmgarza6465]

full sized or 98% when

[@copycutvideo]

Do you plan to use international vendors? Thinking of EU for me :)

Hope for the PCB to support Split Backspace. 😎

[@TheOfficialFloridaMan]

That badge should’ve been a wireless charging coil

[@TheOneDumDum]

PLEASE tell me that we're gonna get rid of the JST cable and will be using magnetic connector in the final product instead... PLEASE... it's 2024... PLEASE it's only missing that to be my perfect keyboard... PPPLEEEEAAASSSE i beg of you lol

[@Moritz.Langen]

that would be sick I loved the magnetic mechanism in the neo70. But it ís too late the design is finalized.

[@TheOneDumDum]

@@Moritz.Langen Ah damn... Too bad. The new NEOs, the qk75n, they all use the magnetic connector and it's so much nicer

[@daze7675]

OSUME SPOTTED

[@AlhazerdVivi]

Will there be HE modules?

[@kok6673]

is this keyboard have rgb?

[@simmyjer]

Please create an HE PCB for the Envoy ❤️❤️❤️

[@jalexanderc]

Proud sixtyfive v1 owner

[@milo4is]

Are there plans for EC pcb for this?

[@phuongtrang280]

Ugh. I love the PC board but why is the bottom glow so dim toward the bottom of the board. I wish the led could be moved more toward the bottom

[@fnvfanMSPR]

It is a beautiful board but please do improve the QC on the lattice mounts because they were awful to work with on the Envoy.

[@JustSomeGuy009]

Their just 3D printed TPU essentially and therefore will never be that great compared to an injection molded part. They can put fancy marketing names on it all they want but the company that makes them has all the info right on their website.

[@javiercintas9796]

No, I just got my envoy mode and now this one comes out? Oh my god, did it become obsolete in a few days?

[@modekeyboards]

The Envoy is still a great board that we'll continue to offer as our more affordable option!

[@AlvaTheSpurned]

I have the Sonnet and love it. This one looks great too! Are there any plans for an Alice style keyboard? Or anything unconventional like that?

[@sharkosaurfps]

What keycaps are those on the 2021 Mode 65 in the beginning? They look kinda like an pbtfans or epbt wob set?

[@modekeyboards]

PBT Fans Neon

[@benis_os]

I CANNOT GET INTO THE DISCORD!!!

[@crystalphantasm]

Hoping that ill have enoguh money saved by the time this board is out!

[@Nganlinhtu1990]

No red color option. So sad

[@stills2359]

man I need that oak accent for your other boards 😭

[@couchtourist256]

we need a fkl 70%...tis the best layout.

[@luckykari9448]

Do we get iso hotswap??

[@modekeyboards]

No ISO Hotswap - historically ISO hotswap accounted for less than 1% of all PCBs purchased. ISO layout is available for solder PCBs.

[@stoched]

Dang it I literally just got an envoy

[@rickyd454]

This bothers me because I will probably have to get more than one like I did with the sonnet.

[@RiaN47]

What deskmat is that?

[@modekeyboards]

We cycled between a few of our own desk mats in this video

[@RiaN47]

Thank you!@@modekeyboards The koi one looks so clean!

[@modekeyboards]

That one is called the Lotus desk mat!

[@BenPuckett]

Are there plans for PC cases for the loop similar to this? Cause that'd be dope.

[@KeebTaro]

Interesting!!

[@deadringer1976]

YES

[@wayne0320]

Can you do volume knob next time??

[@szagii_9447]

are we gonna finally get a split backspace HS PCB?

[@RandomKeebs]

PP PLATE!? LETS GOOOOOO.

[@mauroblardony7703]

As an owner of the first Mode65, kinda sad you did not consider designing the board having reusable components for old owners. Like if I bought the bottom that comes with the lattice mount id be able to save a couple of dollars but I get it you're targeting new customers. However most people that are still within the hobby and stay past the post pandemic are still old timers.

[@HDKHybrid]

Looks like a stunner! I hope yall give this treatment to the Eighty someday!

[@MatthewEncina]

🙌🏽

[@chesingleton1787]

looks so good couldn't get the first sixty five definitely have to pick this one up

[@unapt8890]

bring back the mode80

[@hydra6148]

I had to read the title twice

[@OhItsKool]

Hey what is the deskmat shown during the Dawn?

[@modekeyboards]

Mode Lotus!

[@deanwalker321]

lets gooooo!! shut up and take my money!!

[@rock-pimp]

Hyped for this, typing on my Envoy rn 💪

[@Maxime-ho9iv]

Why did you guys redesign the accent bar? I think you destroyed the design there. When you look at the side of the keyboard, it was clean and balanced, with the accent bar forming a single line, now you have this notch and it's suddenly busy and the accent bar looks visually weak. If only I could order the old one..

[@vetalko000]

This is an awesome keyboard!!!! I can't wait to order it!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Plastekb]

Looks great, too bad no EU reseller etc :(

[@modekeyboards]

There will be international vendors! More info to be published soon

[@UncraftedPlays]

Those black x-ray keycaps are super sick, I just knew that it was gonna' happen

[@franksam8610]

Ohh just got the mode envoy in pc now I want this!

[@z4nn1ch]

I want raw aluminium.
