Mode Encore - Official Keyboard Build Guide

This is the official build guide of our 65% layout keyboard, the Mode Encore (2026). For any technical questions, order help, or any other inquiries, feel free to join our Discord or email our support team at support@modedesigns.com.

The Encore draws inspiration from classic mechanical keyboards with thick bezels and a chamfered cherry-style front edge. These familiar forms are reimagined with contrasting materials and refined lines, creating a striking yet minimal profile on your desk.
