She has worked as a copywriter, fact-checker, QA analyst, and librarian, but this has been her favorite gig so far. A bit of a bookworm since she was tiny, she loves nothing more than curling up with a giant cup of coffee or tea and a good book. When not hunched over a keyboard or book, Jovana enjoys going on long walks, short hikes, and occasional camping trips. She also has an unfinished novel she’d like to publish one day. No, really.

A Keyboard Tailored To Your Style

The Sonnet is a luxury mechanical keyboard that can be customized in about a million different ways. From color and material to acoustics and key weight, the Sonnet can be tailored to your personal style and needs. Each keyboard is made to order, so whether you’re looking for a sleek and minimalist design for your office or something bold and loud for your gaming den, you’re guaranteed to get it with the Sonnet.

There are seven different plate materials, all made from top-quality aluminum, as well as two mounting styles and each comes with a particular sound signature and typing feel. The Isolated Top Mount is ideal if you want an open-sounding, flexible, and bouncy typing, but you’ll want to opt for the Stack Mount if you prefer a muted sound signature and firm, consistent typing.

While there are millions of different pairings from which to choose when customizing your keyboard, no matter what you end up choosing, your Sonnet will have a smooth surface that is pleasant to touch. This is one seriously classy mechanical keyboard that will complement literally any environment as you can customize its case and accent bar in whatever colorway goes best with your current setup. Equally important, it seems to be genuinely built to last.

The Buy

You can pre-order your Sonnet keyboard on Mode Designs’ website starting at $299. The shipping is expected to begin in October though.
