Mode Keeps Trusting Me | Mode Envoy Build 

CLEAN combo 😍 glad my video was pleasant!

We get two whole rows!

I forget if I saw that somewhere or it came to me, but either way: Knowledge well work sharing right? Such a pro-tip

Glad to hear I was able to help inform!! That’s my goal :)

She’s a looker for sure! I’m a sucker for some PC and mirror looks.

And you can get your own at Cortex Brand ... .com

BASED

It does! More than I thought it would since there is no mount directly under it

If you're married to the gold accents and weights I'd do Black! I think the blue/mirage colorway looks better with copper or grey accents personally. The Black and Gold combo is classic.

@@_IanOfEarth Thanks for the suggestion! ❤

Sorry, not sorry! ;)

Thanks for getting me one step closer!

I have not used the QK75 so I don’t have a great answer for there. As they are totally different layouts I would prioritize that in your mind first.

@@_IanOfEarth i actually can work on anything but 60% with no arrow, so 65% above is fine. I'm just afraid that i have a FOMO buy right now, as i'm still waiting my QK75 to be shipped lol.. Was planning to sell my Qk75 as soon as it landed and buy an envoy but still questioning my decision..

@@haihao2942 the envoy will be available for a long time, there is no rush!

I hate how they always show one of the more expensive build configuration while talking about the cheapest price possible without including shipping cost, tax and customs. It doesn't even comes with foam and stabilizers which you have to buy extra.

@@ravyo8821 A fair thought, but you've missed something important. It is in fact _only_ fair to discuss these without taxes/shipping/customs because those are so different for everyone depending where the vendor is and where you are. If a Korean content creator talks about a Korean board being $300 but then a US content creator has to say it's $400, that makes quite the mess for consumers. If all creators just talk about the cost of the board itself then that equalizes and viewers can auto correct for themselves. As for foam and stabs it's largely the same. First of all, this board does not need foam in my opinion, and foam is very very subjective so in my opinion it should be an extra cost so only those who want it, get it. And for stabs, I can't really help you there. Perhaps someone will make a browser plug-in that adds $20 whenever someone puts a cost in their keyboard video's title. But in the case of this board they _are_ included in the Full Kit, making it that much more impressive they hit the prices they did. Hope that helps explain the thought process when talking prices!

Great question! Mode and I have been connected for a long while now, originally through a mutual connection. So that makes things like this pretty easy that they trust my content to be honest, etc. If you’re coming in cold it’s a harder relationship to get started, but once you’ve got a decently large following you can start reaching to vendors like Mode and see if they want to partner on content.

@@_IanOfEarth thanks, i wanna start making content but. Have no idea what to do nor do i have the best gear for it, i dont have the money to purchase x amount of things, and getting stuff sent out to me would help but I’m sure i would need at least 1k subs.

@@rq1ny_ yeah you're going to need to start with funding it yourself. If you look at my early videos in this era of my channel it was budget builds, modding budget boards, etc. The scene is bigger now so it's harder to stand out with a video like that but it can still be done. The other way to get hardware sent to you earlier on is making friends through Discords and meetups that might be running smaller projects and work with them directly.

Only lived on Zaku’s before this and they strike me as pretty similar. These come with a short spring and have a little more texture to them that I personally like! I also swapped in long springs.

Aesthetic taste will play a lot in to it. The SixtyFive looks more monolithic from the front and you can always see the accent. From a feel stand point you do have more mounting options with the SixtyFive but none as soft as the Envoy. The Envoy is also significantly cheaper and currently for sale. Any SixtyFive you find will be likely more expensive and second-hand so getting exactly what you want could be hard.

@@_IanOfEarth but in terms of sound and overall?

@@kenxx2508 those are subjective and up to you

I've handled both at this point and... they're both great. lol I'd say go PC if you're an RGB user (or just really like PC), but the alu finishes are realllly nice and have a nice heft to them.

@@_IanOfEarth Do you find they have different sound signatures or are they overall pretty similar due to the mounting system?

@@ojgimpson definitely more similar than different. I would say the alu has a _tiny_ bit more high frequency content, but barely.

@@_IanOfEarth thank you! Gonna go with aluminum :)

@@ojgimpson Enjoy!!

ayo 😂 pause

😂 it is quite thin, but not that thin
