The New SixtyFive from mode is great. It's visually one of the prettiest boards, I may even like this a tad bit more than the Sonnet? I have to really think about which I think is more my aesthetic. I'm really glad they went with this design approach vs the way the Loop looked. The Loop aesthetic isn't quite my cup of tea.

Some take aways? I love the aesthetic and customizability. The sound profile of both top and lattice mounts was AMAZING and there is enough customization mounting wise that you can get plenty of different of typing feeling. It's also crazy easy to build.

I do want to see Mode take off the fixed hotswap stand offs and allow us to choose to install those if we want. I also noticed finger prints on the stainless accent on the inside. You'll never see it, but I wish it was coated. And finally the the top mount variant mounting style seemed to put pressure on the accent, something to look into for Mode which they are now looking into!
