Mod Musings is entering his first mechanical keyboard to the market, the 65% "Encore" in collaboration with Mode Designs. Available in 4 different finishes including combinations of aluminum, copper, oak, and walnut. The Encore shares internals with Mode's recently re-released and updated SixtyFive of the same form factor making the build process just as easy, but reimagined inside a completely new package design by Matthew himself. Including a hardwood bezel, a Cherry front lip, and subtle relief on the bottom it is a stunning, almost mid-century looking board with Mode's high tech internals.
