I am so tempted by a Mode Sonnet, it's difficult for me to justify the price right now, but yours is gorgeous!

I felt the same way about it at first. I think that if you like the look, sound, and form factor, you can’t go wrong choosing it. I’d suggest a board from Keychron, QwertyKeys, Akko, or one of the other budget offerings if you’re interested. I saw a bunch of posts over on r/BudgetKeebs on the Mongoose M1, but I don’t know enough about it to give a solid recommendation. The Keychron V1 is a fantastic starting point, and the QK75 is just beautiful.

Also, thanks for the compliment!

Edit: A lot of people seem to like the Mongoose M1, I’d give that a look

Edit 2: The Moondrop Dash75 is cheaper than the GMMK Pro and comes with a AMP/DAC included. Shoobs and Keybored have done some good videos on it.
