With Mode’s Black Friday deals tomorrow, I think it is a decent chance to potentially pick up a keyboard from them. However, upon doing some research and digging, it seems like people here are saying a lot of the reviews on YouTube are heavily sponsored and marketed.

I am mainly looking for a good typing experience as opposed to having the best sound, as I type quite a lot daily. For those with experience with Mode keyboards, would you suggest me getting one, as opposed to a QWERTY (or similar) keyboard? I am also considering the QK100 (I know its a completely different layout and pretty hyped too).

TLDR: Am I “missing out” on anything if I get the QK100 instead of a Mode Envoy in terms of the typing experience. (I understand they are different layouts)

    Thank you for your advice. What plate do you suggest for clacky sounds?

    I will look on eBay to see if there are any good deals. But if tomorrow’s discount ends up really enticing, then I might just get a new one.

        Ok, I might get aluminum too. Are the switches pre-lubed? I am more of a tactile guy, but maybe I might try the Obscura switches, or their house tactile switches. What stabilizers did you use?

          Durocks. Not the best, but I had them on hand and don’t really have any issues with out they sound so I just kept them on.
