In Japan, “Mod Musings” are probably best known for the X-Ray keycap sets released by PBTfans, the keycap line of KBDFANS.
We are still selling stock at Yousha Kobo.
Perhaps the keyboard that best suits this X-Ray is the Encore Series3.
It is a little pricey, but it is a definite winner.
KawamuraI own a SixtyFive with a 65% size keyboard case of the same construction, but the gasket-mounted construction with Lattice Block is unique in its key feel.
The clacky keystroke sounds are the best.
You too can take this opportunity to make your Mode Designs debut.
