Mode Sonnet

The Mode Sonnet represents what happens when a keyboard is designed by enthusiasts who understand what enthusiasts actually want. It's not just about specs—it's about the experience.

The modular gasket system is the headline feature. By swapping gasket strips of different hardnesses, you can tune the typing feel from soft and bouncy to firm and responsive. This isn't marketing fluff—it genuinely changes the character of the board.

Build quality is exceptional. The CNC aluminum has tight tolerances, the anodization is consistent, and the polycarbonate options have a unique aesthetic that photographs beautifully. Every unit comes with a numbered authenticity card and premium packaging that makes the unboxing special.

Sound signature tends toward the deeper, muted side—what the community calls "thocky." With the right switches (Gateron Oil Kings, anyone?), this board produces sounds that ASMR channels dream about.

The only reason this isn't everyone's recommendation is price. At $350+, it's a commitment. But for those ready to stop the endless search for "the next board," the Sonnet might actually be the answer.
