Mine just broke. I feel like a loved one died. 😢

I have 40000mah mi power bank £25.

Bro was cooking in an easy bake oven with that intro "should I steam or should I go?" 😬🤣

Hi, currently have a 2013 iMac 27" (on my left) and a 2015 iMac 5K 27" (straight ahead). I often 'connect' the 2013 iMac in TDM to use both screens together. My new job will force me to have a 'locked down' windows laptop (13" or 15") - likely to be placed on the right side of my desk. 1). I really want to be able to connect this 'locked down' windows laptop to my 5K iMac. Allowing me to switch between remote working and personal / home use. 2). And still be able to use the 2013 iMac in TDM to use both screens together. Being able to use speakers, webcam, mac wireless keyboard and mac trackpad. If that is not possible. 3). Could I replace the 2013 iMac with a Apple Studio Display (straight ahead) and still be able to connect both the iMac 5K (moved to the left) and this 'locked down' windows laptop to the Apple Studio Display. Any help would be really useful.

Great video!!!

wish boards like this dropped to a 4u or even a 2u spacebar

Thanks for a tip-o'-the-hat to the Clash. 🎉😅

I feel weird, because the first thing I did when considering spending time and money customizing a keyboard for personalization, was grab a sample kit with 20+ different switches in it (mix of Outemu, Gateron and Kailh 'standards' at the time, with a singular example of a silent and speed linear for each brand as well) and had a hotswap compatible macro pad already laying around that could handle 5-pin layout for switches. After that I picked up a handful of different types of keycap, which was shockingly cheap, as I was just going for 'type' instead of 'BRAND' and used that to dial in my preferences on both switch type and keycap type. Because of budget concerns, I wound up going with outemu linears and a pre-assembled frame that I did some modding to to soften it's pinginess, as well as a cheap keycap set. I'm now using an 8bitdo retro, and have ordered in Kailh whales to replace the box whites it came with because they are just too loud for my needs, and the whales feel REALLY nice to me with how the tactile break is. I'm also planning on doing something a lot of people seem allergic to, and leaving some switches as box whites and others being replaced with whales.I don't plan on doing further mods to it than that, as it is very solid as-is. I'm customizing my board based on what I WANT, not based on what the internet has said is good. There is nothing wrong with not having a totally custom keyboard, or with not paying out the rear for 'holy grail' switches or caps. Brand tax is brand tax, regardless of item being bought, and the market as a whole is better off when people stop treating brand tax like it improves the tangible quality. The biggest consideration is to try out switches and cap types, because keyfeel is THE most important, but also subjective thing. Yes, some people really focus on sound, but outside of raw volume, it's not really that important. Remember the golden rule of everything: Perfect is impossible, but 'good enough' is amazing. In chasing perfection, you will never find it, so instead find something you know you like and can tolerate indefinitely. A big problem with mechanical keyboards as a hobby is the amount of elitism and moneyflashing newbies are presented with. There's also significant issue with people being quite judgy based purely on form factor. It doesn't matter if you think it looks or sounds bad, if it is someone else's keyboard. At most you should be asking them what they were going for and then givng advice with both that and the implied budget in mind, not just ranting about how X is better than Y because you like it better.

There are a lot of keycaps for ANSI but I can't seem to find that many for ISO layout... Any tips/suggestions?

FPS mode for games that have no controller support is a dream.

I love my Legion GO but haven’t used it as expected 😂😂😂. It’s final “win” over the deck for me to give it a try wasn’t so much the detachable controllers but that fps mode with the detached controller, I felt I would just learn to love that vertical mouse, but I hated it. Luckily I had a mini bluetooth mouse/keyboard combo I was trying out with my phone hoping it would help with light “laptop” work via my phone on the go (things like editing docs and replying to emails). I hated it, the phone screen was too small. Well guess what took that over with ease! Legion GO! Paired said bluetooth set with the legion go and got a carrying case that can hold it all. Worth every penny. I can play games using keyboard and mouse with ease and even do the doc editing I wanted on the GO with the same ease. Plus handheld mode.

I really liked the Ghostbar on my Halo65, so I got another one for my Keychron K6 Pro... and was immediately disappointed. I didn't realize it at the time, but one of the reasons for the improved sound dampening was the inclusion of these silicone strips attached to the board, and without them the Ghostbar's sound profile is more or less the same as any generic PBT spacebar. I did some testing with other spacebars and came to the conclusion that the Ghostbar and silicone inserts, used in conjunction, are what facilitate the vastly improved sound profile found on the Halo65. Not sure why they're not included with the spacebar itself, and of course they don't appear to be sold separately anywhere. I've tried looking for them, but the closest I've found are made from rubber (KPREPUBLIC Spacebar Plate Rubber Strip). Maybe those would work, but I haven't gotten the chance to test it yet. It's just such a let down though, since after using the Ghostbar on the Halo65, every other spacebar that I use just sounds wrong in comparison.

Imagine dipping it into cheese just for some turbulence. That's what this guy does, hence the name. Cheese Turbulence. Check out his OF.

VR has more use that AR even though its a bit bulky. To spend more money to buy another gadget just to anchor the screen and other gimmicky features is very pricey and ridiculous . Not for me AR, I will stick to my QUEST 3 !

Some very good points. If there's a place to start - I'd suggest focus on layout, standard or low profile, volume level and whether you want QMK/VIA. To me the No 1 priority is wide keycaps and low profile on a keyboard that's 75% or thereabouts. Ergonomics and desk space. How little desk space it consumes really changes ergonomics - and I spend a lot of hours designing - so mouse in one hand and keyboard for shortcuts. I like low profile because it feels like my wrists are straining less too. Also, I can slip the keyboard in my macbook air bag which to me is much nicer than the mac keyboard. I have both linear and clicky switches I have a preference for quieter switches as the noise tends to make me try and rush - it's not necessary. Lastly, being able to make the keyboard do whatever you want in terms of layers, shortcuts, make the software conform to your habits has been a big thing for me. Remapping 8 or so adobe actions to the most logical left hand only shortcuts makes a huge difference in my workflow and even extended macros for saving work with settings that Adobe doesn't give you an action for is a lifesaver for me - others may not care. So for me it's low profile, 75%, VIA and make it reasonably quiet. Wireless is a nice to have - and yes, all my keyboards work well on bluetooth, cleaning a few cables off my desk. Discovering low profile keyboards after years of full size cherry's and even older was a big thing. My latest purchase - or should I say 3 purchases is the YK75 keyboard - I found it at under $30 with outemu blue switches and good enough keycaps for it to be a travel companion that can quickly get me to 90% of my comfort zone. No software or macros - and not exactly quiet either but a keyboard I can pull out and work reasonably quicky with. So even with preferences ranked, You can still make compromises in some situations that work - albeit as a backup.

I love my TH80 and it was like 130

Apple and custom dont go together

The only good color scheme imho.

i wish they would do german key layouts...

man, if only apple studio display had all 4 usb c ports as thunderbolt. i woudlve got it in a heartbeat. as someone who needs to switch between a PC, and windows laptop, and a mac on daily basis - all that cable replugging will not work.

you should rename the title from ''review'' to advertisement.

the legion go got the worst controllers ever i bought one new and i got right controller loss on top of that the controllers are out of stock everywhere

Ok, just bough the d@mn thing! 😂😂😂😂

“apple” and “custom” (as in a properly custom device) in the same phrase, doesnt seem right

Apple would never use wood. Because the outcome of the design isn't controlable.

I prefer remote desktop these days, but im doing data analysis and light editing so i may be different

You have a ton of patience. This exact thing happened to mine, but I refuse to do all of this work after paying for a $700 device.. I can’t bring myself to. 😢

Way too much talk and lots of useless information for most people, I stopped listening... don't waist my time, get to the point !

Let me guess... MODE doesn't build ISO keyboards 🙄

If the Butget allows it you could try one of Wendels (Level1Techs) KVM switches

Awesome. I currently switch between a Mac and a PC on a Studio Display. The main thing that’s bothering me is that with the PC the refresh rate is just 60Hz. Did you found a solution for that?

Thanks for the shout out!

Wow - this was so fun to watch. Happy to have seen this pop up on the RUclips feed this morning! Appreciate the insight shown from the (at least one) customer experience as a result of our team's efforts. Subscribed! p.s. your pronunciation of my name was spot on! a truly rare feat 😂 -Xris

Great Video! But did you try to transfer Data via the Jangly Cable? The Amazon page specificly says that it can't be used for data transfer. I'm using a DELL U2723QE with an included USB hub but it only has one Upstream port for use with a DP (besides the Thunderbolt/USB-C) and I'd like to use two machines with it (Old MacBook, without thunderbolt and a PC)

HI. Are you German? Greetings from Poland! Cheers!

The solution I plan on implementing soon (so this hasn’t been tested) is to have the Mac control everything, but on the Mac have Windows’ native Remote Desktop app to remote control my windows machine. Then have a DAS or NAS act as the main storage for both machines. That way there’s no funky cable and drivers haggling. If both of the computers are connected to a little network switch under the desk, the latency should be minimal. And that way when you leave with your MacBook, you still have access to your full work flow.

This is how I feel about grey studios lol. man i am just obsessed with their boards.

the mode stabs are awesome as well lol

the difference between the screens is almost certainly an gamma thing. I would recommend you get a colorimeter, a Datacolor Spyder Pro X or equivalent can help you get these 2 displays perfectly tone matched!

apple and custom is opposite side of the word

Never in my life have I had such a hard time between choosing something to buy

In many ways, Apple and Mode are similar. For instance, they do not mention new products at all until just before the official announcement. However, the communication process on Discord until the product is delivered can be considered an advantage unique to Mode. Given the nature of Custom mechanical keyboards, communication with users is truly important!

15:30 what keycap is that ?

fun video, couldn’t agree more! very happy OG Sonnet owner, exciting to see Mode continuing to evolve and innovate! Also not so quietly begging for them to make a WK 60% (I need my full bottom row)

Man I loved this video. I also have the Tempo. One of my favorites for sure. Keep up the great work!

Idk this seems like a weird way to do this. I would just get a really powerful pc and run VMs of windows and macOS on Linux. Although I'm not sure if that could interfere with the features on the studio display. I just wouldn't get a studio display so that's why I would just run VMs.

Awesome video! Very helpful! The "Should I Steam or Should I Go" reference had me Loling Haha

A sighting of my Modern Materials at the end 👀

I love Mode…and no longer use their boards. The sonnet was amazing. I loved it at first sight and preordered a rather pricy configuration of it. The build experience was wonderful, and the keyboard felt great. However, after a few months of use, I started having key repeat issues. The Mode Discord described various things to double check on the PCB, and I found none of those things were wrong. Ultimately, I discovered it was a known fault of the Sonnet PCB to repeat key presses upon waking from sleep on macOS. A workaround firmware was provided in a difficult-to-find Mode Discord forum post, but it disabled the ability to use the keyboard in a certain way, I believe waking a Mac from sleep. I shelved my Sonnet after one-too-many Zoom calls where I hit the volume up key and had to panic unplug my keyboard before the key repeating sent my volume to max…I hope to revisit Mode products one day, but the PCB flaw soured me on the company. I moved onto the Frog TKL 8K. It’s a nice board, but I’ve had a number of issues using QMK on it that have required me to DM with the PCB designer. That’s a far cry from the smooth experience of Mode’s board even if said Frog PCB designer is quite nice and helpful.
