It's not punched holes, it's a basic 18cm x 12cm pcb. The only carving I had to do was for the mechanical switches mounts as the pcb layout was nowhere near the pin nad support structure of the switches. The bluish background on the top side is just a gradient with my logo printed on a sticker paper and pasted on top ;)
Also the keys and knobs structure and placement is based on my hand and where they rest naturally, quite ergonomical for me...

There’s literally no purpose to a coiled cable other than to look good. I think it looks good, so that’s the length it is.

They’re quite nice. Been using boba U4T recently so they feel a lot less tactile than them. Bump seems higher as well. Seem nice but haven’t really used them long enough to have much of an opinion.

hopefully chatGPT will get rid of all those waste of space. If someone is going to write totally useless articles that doesn't benefit anyone in terms of knowledge, why not AI ?

Lol I guess the hard part is different for different people.
The coding isn't an issue for me it's more the hardware and how you punched the holes for the keys and wired it up.
I love the chaotic look but undoubtedly perfect for using it with your hand.

It's actually not that difficult, the only part you might find a bit grinding is the coding part, but the code is quite simple and easy to understand and modify according to your liking...
Look up macropads based on 'raspberry pi pico' and 'circuit python' which will get you started, let me know if you need my code or anything else... Happy to help :)

feels great. for gaskets, not extremely bouncy but it’s def still there. finish and general quality are all good except for the foams which were a bit questionable

i’m extremely happy with it. great poppy acoustics and good flex for all things considered very cheap.

They are the retro keycaps from Keychron (the only one I could find with an ISO Mac French azerty layout, actually). They're meant to look like old school Apple keyboards :)

What do you think of it? It looks like a bunch of us are having these delivered lately (I'm waiting on one now myself). In this post, the owner mentions some quality issues about the parts fitting together.

I recently sold my QK65 to replace it with this beautiful Mode Sonnet. After having a chance to build one for a friend and testing it out, I knew I had to get one for myself. Such a classy looking, solidly built keyboard that feels and sounds spectacular. The unboxing and build experience was fantastic, and I can’t wait to make this my new daily driver!
My build:
- Navy top
- PC bottom
- Copper weight
- Copper insert (+ mirrored stainless extra)
- POM plate
- Isolated top mount
- Plate foam
- TX stabilizers (lubed w/ 205g0)
- SOTC switches (factory lubed)
- PBTFans Neon keycaps

Great set that, and it had the novelties in the base set, which is unusual for a group buy set.
