Own Mazda3 HB. Can confirm it's a Mazda thing. Now who the hell wants to send me a sticker?

The Envoy is on par with Tofu, QK, and Zoom, so not terrible!
I don't think I'll ever spend $400+ on a board kit

Haha, yeah!
Here's the page for the Zoom65 V2, Available January 26th:

And I believe you're correct about the Mode65. I'm sure someone will argue all of the many changes that come with the Envoy, but it's still the same Mode team behind it!
Mode Envoy, Available January 30th:

I just built a QK65 this past weekend and it's my daily driver currently. The Zoom65 V2 launches January 26th I believe. Then the Mode Envoy is at the end of the month.
And you better believe I will be collecting all of the 65%s I can lol

That's good to know! I just ordered my Osume keycaps so when those arrive, I'll build out my Jr. So roughly in two weeks? Looking forward to it! And I know the 2.0 is roughly the same, but since I'm just getting into the space, I'm making the initial "investment" to expose myself to many different things to get a better feel for what my preferences are so in the future, I know "okay, if I'm looking for this and this, I should invest in this upcoming board."
There are just so many unknowns, but I do at least know I like a 65%, so I'll get Tofu rich lol. Curious to see how a carbon fiber plate performs...

that's what I thought too, honestly. we were duped! but alas, it's another project to look forward to :)
I believe I got the extra foams too, by "mistake" because I thought I needed to, so that's good to know and I'll definitely pad it as much as possible to avoid that!
I put all the foams in for the QK65 I just built and I like the sound. it's got a sort of marble sound, definitely a little muted, but would like it maybe a little quieter. so I'm excited or anxious to see how the Tofu Jr turns out!
could also be a good excuse for a different type of build and just accept that the two boards will produce very different sounds.

how are you liking the board so far? it'll be my first Tofu (though I ordered the Tofu65 2.0 because I have an addiction and need help).
Mine should arrive today or tomorrow!

The shark is cute! I just don't know if it's $400 cute...

This is for the community as a whole, but what color boards do you think this set would look good with? Like how "extreme" can we go with this? Not just the safe response of: "White would go well with this!"

Call me sadistic, but I would love nothing more than to see you hit turbulence and those springs scatter everywhere, then awkwardly going to each row on your hands and knees looking for them.

Glad to hear positive feedback about it. I was playing around with the idea of getting one with the clear wrist rest for the ambience. I'm curious as to how they'll hold up over time.
