You may have screwed the pcb assembly in too tight, which is why the board sounds so hollow and pingy. I recommend tightening the screws all the way, then turning each back a rotation and a quarter.

Thanks for the tip, you make a good point. I did notice that there were gasket washers on the screws to prevent screwing too tight so I just went at it 😂 Another possibility is that the lack of plate foam and/or case foam lead to the slight ping.

A few notes from Mode: - There will be 4 different types of lattice block mounts available at launch that are included with the board (green lattice, black lattice, green half-lattice, and green solid) - black solid blocks will not be an option - The ribbon feet on the board will be slightly thicker for more surface area on the table/surface - Production PCBs and daughterboards will be black in color - Starting price: $259

I would like to address the pinging in the sound tests. As someone mentioned in the comments, it is most likely a result of the two positioning screws being too tight. Without the screws or having them loosened, the pinging should no longer be present.

that's a lotta ping! do you think adding case foam would help alleviate some of it?
@YBBK11 ай бұрын
Case foam or plate foam would probably help however as a comment mentioned, majority of the pinging is most likely due to me fastening the positioning screws too tightly. Having them loosened should alleviate the issue

Do you have any other hhkb layout boards in mind with a better build? Genuinely curious as Im not really knowledgeable with this layout haha!
@Alfie000111 ай бұрын
@@YBBK At the top of my head I'd quickly say the Sangeo60 & Arc60, although there's definitely higher end boards than these. Some limited 60s that offer a variety of layouts, include WKL & HHKB as "other layout options" so there's a very good chance to find better but lesser known hhkb layout endgames out there. I really dig the Tempo though, about time a reputable company like Mode started releasing different layouts in stock like this. Still wish I didn't miss out on the QK60 man
