your fiance will enjoy it im sure :)
"whats that honey? switches are too heavy? awww... that stinks. guess ill use it then" >

Haha I’ve found myself going to her desk just to type on it, but I do have a Mode eighty and a Rama works Jules on my desk so I’m not too jealous haha >

Perfecty tasteful >

lets see Paul Allens keyboard >

What set is that >

NovelKeys Sand. I have it and like it. I was able to get an almost perfect matching usb cable from mechcables using brick red heat shrink and I think tan paracord. Can’t find the receipt to confirm, but if OP wants to complete the look… >

That’s awesome I’ll look on mechcables! She wants a custom cable to match as well >

I think this has got to be one of the most perfect boards ever built... just from the look of this one photo... You have done your fiancé well my friend. >

Thank you!! I put all the bells and whistles into it as well for the stabilizers, sounds better than my keyboards 😂 >

The secret to a happy marriage is enjoying the sound of your spouse typing. >

Exactly! Especially when we work in the same room and type all day lol >

NK sand and copper are really good >

Man Sonnets are everywhere right now. Did they just recently become in-stock? I'm really tempted by the copper. >

They have been in stock! Mode keyboards tries to keep everything in stock and if not then just a month or so turn around. This took 2 days to show up >

Good job! Lucky fiancé. >

👍I have the same set on Mr. Suit R2 >

Oooh >

He will like this one very much! Nice gift. >

Thanks! She loves it haha >

People are confused because the feminine form is "fiancée". Fiancé refers to a dude >

Thanks, fixed it in the description! >

I personally think the Sonnet is slept on; if it wasn’t twice the price of a QK75 I think that’s where I would have spent my new keyboard budget on. >

Is it? It seems to be a popular board. >

cherry sand!!! omg i love! >

Really pretty >

Thank you! >

phew that white oak looking pristine here >

It’s awesome and now I’m jealous of her haha I have the Eighty and wish it had some wood accents >

I need the sonnet in my life. I really want to try the copper plate/weight. But I also want to save up for the copper bottom. >

Beautiful board, well done. >

Thanks! >

Oh wow. I could notice cherry sand from a mile away, it's so classy! I wish your and your fiancé all the best :) and the kb ofc >

Red flag: No copper bottom.
Just kidding. Very nice keyboard. >

Haha I was pushing her for that but she didn’t see the point >

That's seriously nice. I love Cherry Sand. >

Incredible! >

Hooo sheesh, a Mode Sonnet is one hell of a start. >

She did have a cheap prebuilt from amazon before this that sounded like someone banging plastic against a desk haha but I figured she won’t be buy another keyboard after this >

How's she liking it so far? For me the difference between a good keyboard and a prebuild was night and day. Now typing is a joy. >

She loves it! Definitely night and day difference for her >

Do you want another fiance?  I'm a guy so it doesn't count as cheating. >

Hi this is Fiance. >

Beautiful >

"Dunder Mifflin, this is Pam. How can I help you?" ❤️ >

She loves the office - if there was an office themed keycap set she would have it haha >

Damn this looks so nice >

With the white oak accent, too! That's a beauty >

This has a nice retro 1970s vibe.  Love it. >

That is just beautiful. Serene. You're fiance is gonna love it. >

I am typing on my Mode Sonnet right now. Just built it last night. Enjoy! >

Thanks! You too! >

I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.
/s NK PBT Sand is a great looking set! >

SICK >

I'm new to mechanical keyboards... but this looks amazing :-) >

damn thats beutiful >

What is up on the shelf, is that like a pomodoro timer or something?
Edit: While I love the colors of this set (and you picked something that looks great with it) one thing confuses me - I can't seem to find anyone talking about how the # symbol is sideways on the 3 key. It even shows this way on the Novelkeys site.
That's a common issue with cheap clones on Amazon, must have been a set of molds/pads made that way... but weird that an official NK set has the same issue.
Either way, this came at the perfectly wrong time for - bought a set on eBay, when I was talking myself into walking away. Looks so good here. Such a complete set too (3 accent colors!) >

That’s the base for a desk lamp! It’s got timers, temperature adjustment and a brightness slider
Also now I can’t not see the sideways # key haha it’s weird that it’s like that >

I hope you build your fiance a Noctua-themed PC in a North case to match it! >

Oooo I just looked that up and now I want it for myself haha I’ve been trying to talk her into a pc but she likes her laptop too much >

I suppose it depends on what she does with it. If she's not into gaming, a keyboard and mouse and monitor may be fine for her. >

why do i have sand in my shoes?
keycap-oriented jokes aside, this looks great. Was she happy? >

Hahaha good one! But yes she is very happy! >

How much did it cost to build this? >

So the Mode Sonnet as is was $375, GMK Sand was $50 from Novelkeys, L+F T1 switches were about $70-80 (stole from my one board) and then just the stabilizers around $15 >

gmk sand? >

I think it’s actually cherry/novel keys sand >

no way, a member of this community has human contact?!??!?
joke aside, really nice looking build :D >

Do you need another fiancé? >

Dunder Mifflin mug :) >

Man you guys are awesome.
Meanwhile, I’m over here building keyboards and hiding all of my keyboards from my wife so she doesn’t ask me about the cost or hit me with “oh, another one?” >

this is gorgeous!
