My new endgame 60% Keyboard | Mode Designs Tempo review!
Ғылым және технология
Mode Designs is back at it again with another banger, this time in 60% HHKB form factor. I was really surprised at how much I liked the typing experience of this board, and the ease of shaping the type feel and the sound due to their #nottraymount lattice block mounting system! I'm really excited to mess around with the different configurations that are possible, so stay tuned for more short form content!

That dad joke just had to find its way in there at the end 😂
Keep it up Ben. Loving the consistency.
I love your vids so much - they’re so informative. Youve grown to be one of, if not my favorite KB KZreadr!
Thanks for the review! Loved meeting at Keeblife! -Xris
Bro why did you did this to yourself 😂 you are so sleepy the entire video, I feel bad for you. Hope you got good rest the next day.
It looks good, nice vid mate
hope you catch some sleep man!! I really like Mode’s design language (really dig my alu half plate Sonnet with Cream Sodas), but I’m pretty bummed they went for HHKB only for this. It’s a real looker and seems like maybe their best feeling board yet for my personal preferences. I’ll have to hope they come out with a WK 60% eventually!
Love the videoooo❤❤
Yeesh, yeah CF with no foam in that config was SO loud! Case foam helped that out a ton, but then I've often found you need a really deep-sounding combo of keycaps and switches for CF to work out well. That may be personal preference talking tho. Also sounds like this Lattice Block implementation lacks the slight case ping Envoy has without case foam (at least with my combo of FR4 plate, lubed Frozen Slush linears, and DCX Cyanlet). Killer little board.
When you are sleepy af but you still have to prioritize cracking those dad jokes, now that's dedication lol.
Their keycaps are ABS PBT mix.
I have FR4 plate in my envoy with Epsilon switches and it is near endgame. I’m running only PE foam, and the hard mounting points. It leaves a little to be desired as far as endgame for me, but I’m not sure what it’s missing.
TEMPO JOKES 100!!
Big fan of your contents boss quick question: what if you compare vertex arc60 and mode tempo? Thanks heap in advance!
mode caps are a PBT/ABS blend
hello good sir! do you think you will review the Owlab London Fog switches from BSUN? Would love to hear your thoughts on them, also it's so odd i feel like specs totally are off when manu's describe things like travel distance.. on divinikey it says 3.6mm travel distance but when i measure with caliper it's 3.8mm.. wonder what your experience would be
Incredible board. Would be perfect if it was $100 cheaper. edit: nvm, the price is great. I was using the configurator and it had keycaps included by default.
I love the style and pacing of your videos. The breadth of products you've introduced me to is fab. Please keep doing what you're doing, albeit at normal working hours!
Looks so nice, but as a gamer it’s difficult to get behind no ctrl 😢
Wish they had tri mode pcb 😢
Maker Mods does not miss. Another great video. Thanks for always making quality content. ❤
Congratulations you have successfully performed a dad joke so bad that I did, indeed, smash the like button. Now get some sleep you look half dead!
this or arc60?
This beats the arc60 in terms of value
This or the Arc60 ??

arc60 for me
Great review, but, honestly, I'm a bit dissapointed in the sound. Without foam, it sounds hollow to my ears, with foam, it sounds like it has a tape modded PCB. In Tofu's review it sounded a bit hollow as well. Highly uncharacteristic of Mode :/

The Sonnet and the Envoy honestly both sound hollow to me as well. I own a Sonnet and my friend has an Envoy. The mods all sound pretty… meh.

With the Sonnet and the Tempo, it’s really important to not over tighten the screws or else it’ll sound very hollow
