What? Nooo. I may have lubed it, or if it had rings, I may taken them out, but its all good.Muirium wrote: 19 Jan 2023, 19:05 You mean you didn’t hack it to pieces for its parts? If that’s so, I take back the PM I just sent you about not wanting to lose another vital body part to the devil for my misbegotten trades. I still feel guilty for that prototype Novatouch.
AFAIK the rights to using Topre components simply cost too much for Cooler Masterphinix wrote: 07 Feb 2023, 22:57 I was wondering - why CM never repeated Novatouch? Why nobody else tried to do topre keyboard after NT?
What kind of plate gaskets did you use in Novatouch?wobbled wrote: 13 Feb 2023, 13:23 It wouldn’t shock me if both the Novatouch and Realforce RGB were Topre doing some tests.
The Novatouch was far from perfect. The plate had a bit too much flex and made it feel less sturdy than a realforce. Plate gaskets help the overall sturdiness by reducing housing rattle, but the Novatouch still had issues with lack of tactility - could never tell if it was the domes that were different or if the MX sliders took away from the tactility somehow.
Realforce RGB was even worse in that plate gaskets are pretty much a necessity, along with custom silencing rings to hide the hideous sound it made.
They’re planning the next HHKB to be MX compatible, I just hope they get it right.

Do you still have yours? If so, sounds like you don't like it, I could take it off your hands
LOL, why did you put deskeys sliders instead of original ones?wobbled wrote: 14 Feb 2023, 01:48I use thesephinix wrote: 13 Feb 2023, 13:57What kind of plate gaskets did you use in Novatouch?wobbled wrote: 13 Feb 2023, 13:23 It wouldn’t shock me if both the Novatouch and Realforce RGB were Topre doing some tests.

And the one I buy is the porons. They fit perfectly.
My novatouch is nowhere near stock now. It had to have a replacement case and now uses deskey sliders instead of the originals and has BKE light domes so not sure if you'd still be into that
Because I MX modded my HHKB a while ago and my Novatouch was basically spare bits until deskeys released their slidersphinix wrote: 14 Feb 2023, 10:37LOL, why did you put deskeys sliders instead of original ones?wobbled wrote: 14 Feb 2023, 01:48I use thesephinix wrote: 13 Feb 2023, 13:57

Honestly they are pretty much identical to the novatouch sliders, about time too after years of suffering from JTK and KBDFans sliders
I would love to pick up a Neverest board from deskeys at some point, heard great things about them. I hope its just a matter of time they make TKLwobbled wrote: 14 Feb 2023, 23:46Honestly they are pretty much identical to the novatouch sliders, about time too after years of suffering from JTK and KBDFans sliders
