Welcome back! Super love the honesty in all your content.
I am beyond happy to see you back my dude. Welcome back!
Thank you! 🙏
OMG CALOY IS BACK!
Thank you! 🙏
Welcome back to the hobby Caloy! Hoping you find the passion for it again ;)
Great video and loved hearing your thoughts!
Thanks for the kind words and for this opportunity! 🙏
What a pleasant surprise, welcome back, Caloy!
Yay! So happy you're back. Thanks for this video. The difference between the inside and outside keys is really pronounced. There's usually *some* difference (proximity to the side walls of the case and mounting points/gaskets) but here they sound flat out muted. That would bother me to no end, especially with how expensive Mode's keyboards are.
This is such a refreshing review. Well done!
Welcome back Caloy !! Would love to see this channel explore new topics like tech, gaming etc..
Missed you man, glad you're back!
Love the review! Short insight about what you said at the last part of your vid. Instead of saying "begging" for some sponsored stuff why not look at it as trying to tell vendors or brands to trust your channel on your detailed review instead of saying "im begging for a product for you guys to send because I dont want to spend money on reviewing stuff" just my thought. But this is a very nice and detailed video for the mode tempo!
Thank you! Good advice! 🙏
Welcome back man!
Caley and Coley back from retirement at the same time🔥
ha! glad it's not just me who's subscribed to them, both :)
Welcome back sir! :)
Welcome back, my man!
As someone who did make the change over to an HHKB layout, I think it is well worth it. I would suggest mapping it exactly like how HHKB has it, except with a second layer button as well on the left hand side in the bottom left.
That said, it’s not a layout I would use for gaming. From a productivity and daily use standpoint, I’ve been loving the HHKB format.
Woah nice that you are back.
WELCOME BACK!!! :O
Thank you for actually mentioning the outside vs. inside keys!!
I have the same issue with my Sonnet. The keys on the outside of the board sound dead AND super hollow. It bothers me to no end.
For how expensive the board is, it should damn well do better in that regard.
WELCOME BACK PAPI!
Eyyyyyyyyyy!!! Welcome back :)
Thank you! 🙏
Minor thing but you can use the "J" and "L" keys to skip 10 secs forward or backward when watching UA-cam videos. So, you wouldn't technically need the arrow keys, but ofc thats only for UA-cam.
Woah didn't know that. Thanks for the tip 😊
HOt damn. Its a shame cuz you're the best keeb channel on youtube
HHKB maps the Ctrl key to the caps lock button. That’s why you’re finding it so hard to hit ctrl with your traditional set up. This doesn’t maximize the HHKB layout.
True. Also didn't get the split backspace, which would've given me a dedicated delete key
subscribed :) and time to change the title of your previous video
Epic Comeback
"Came out" of retirement for a free board. Yep, unbiased review.
A little bit of unconscious bias is unavoidable in an arrangement like this, yes. But I've tried my very best to not let it affect this review. You've seen the entire video, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't be making comments like this. So you've seen me be pretty critical of this board. I very easily could've left out the part about the edge vs inner keys. Or I could've made much less of a stink about the layout. Hell, I could have just left it at excellent and left out the whole unexciting thing. But I didn't leave anything out. So yeah, unbiased. Just like you said.
