Mode, Limited Edition, and a TKL? Count me in.
Join me as I spend my Black Friday building the (second) blackest mechanical keyboard in my collection: My 1 of 100 Mode Loop TKL in the Cassette color way. The timing even worked out perfectly that I could use GMK's new keycap profile MTNU along side this build. The sound tests include GMK's classic Cherry profile and Mode's keycaps as well spanning the full spectrum from PBT to blended to ABS keycaps.
