A Closer Look at the Prototype

Loop sounds and features
Refined Accents

The Loop features a new split ring design joining the top and bottom halves together, looping around the periphery of the board for a subtle and elegant accent. An accent strip across the forehead of the board and a solid weight mounted underneath the board round out the refined accents in this board.

Lattice Block Mount System

Loop uses a split ring multi-component chassis design that sandwiches the lattice blocks within the inner ring. The thick top skin of the lattice blocks acts as a "force break", isolating the metal top case and ring from each other for a reduction of resonance between the chassis components.

The Mode Loop TKL makes use of the Lattice Block mounting method that was introduced on the Envoy and Tempo keyboards with some improvements based on user feedback. Instead of using retaining fasteners to keep the PCB and Plate from falling out of the board when tipped upside down, Loop uses a split ring multi-component chassis design that sandwiches the lattice blocks within the inner ring.

The thick top skin of the lattice blocks acts as a "force break", isolating the metal top case and ring from each other for a reduction of resonance between the chassis components.

This first batch of 300 Loop TKLs is a limited production run to gauge overall interest in the design after which we may open a pre-order with additional options.
