Aftermarket Cooler Master NovaTouch Cases
« on: Sat, 23 January 2021, 11:13:56 »
Hi all, while digging through my cupboard (yay moving) I came across a keyboard I haven't used in a while: a Cooler Master NovaTouch TKL. I was hoping to move the board to an aluminum case, but I missed the
Norbauer Norbatouch group buy by a few years. I've already reached out about a possible single-purchase item from Norbauer. In the meantime, has anyone had any experience with a NovaTouch in one of these cases?

  • eBay TKL: No visibility on the internals, so I can't tell if the NovaTouch's plate would mount in it.
  • TKL Tex: This looks like it might work with some mild micro-USB rerouting.

Does anyone have experience mounting a NovaTouch in any of those cases? If someone has those cases and can share dimensions of the internals or compatibility with something like a Cooler Master Masterkeys S that would also be very helpful. Suggestions are also welcome.

Those keyboards you mention are meant for the Filco and Coolermaster, but a novatouch is way different then those MX boards. Even if it fits the daughter board will not work with it. You can also get a Norbatouch case on mechmarket probably, but you will pay a premium.

Thanks for the response, I'll take a look at mechmarket. Norbauer is also open to producing a single custom item.

That's exciting to hear, what is the best way of keeping informed of developments?
