Got my novatouch stem swap done!

Fantastic! Looks great!

Only thing I don't like about having SA caps on mine is no 6u spacebar. Yours is definitely cleaner than mine on the bottom row.

Thanks man! The swap was a little more work than I thought it would be since some of the stems were a little too wide for the housing. Took some time to find which stem would fit in which housing the best. Looks like the small variance in manufacturing was enough to prevent a stem from fully coming up from a keypress.

This just came in! So damn excited about it. My first Topre experience. First typing attempt with the board was about 10 WPM faster than my previous average:



Sorry for the crap picture, I will definitely be posting more.

Very nice. I've been touch typing for ~15 years and I can't seem to get above 95 wpm or so.

Hnnggghhh.. I just lubed and silenced my HHKB. I almost don't ever want to leave my office!!!

High five me too! Well, just lubed. but oh.my.god. the feels and the sounds is dramatically better.

Yeah I know right?! I'm kinda sad I missed out on hypersphere's silencing rings though. I used the EK soft landing pads and did a lot of cutting and ironing to make them fit better. Still have some key travel reduction but the sound improvement is quite amazing.

I actually love it so much that I'm only using it sparsely so I can psychologically "phase out" of MX without feeling guilty about buying all those boards...

[raymogi]

Don't resist the oneness with the cup rubber. Just use it as much as you like THEN rotate it once in a while with MX boards.

That's what I've been doing and it's working perfectly so far. Keeps the feeling of typing on different switches fresh every single time.

Hoping you'll all forgive the rather potato picture, but my collection has recently expanded significantly from a Novatouch and HHKB. Was recently in Japan and South Korea and obtained an FC660C, a Realforce 104U, a Realforce 23UB and a Type Heaven (for dome transplant).

That 104U looks great with the red modifiers.

Hi all , here a novatouch with sa keycaps. Love the sa keycaps on novatouch make the key a bit heavier. Excuse for the potato pics.

Hehe <3 Thank you for your generous words ~

It's all a matter of proper lighting and finding your taste in angle/cropping ~ You can do it too, good sir.

Beautiful collection!  Out of curiosity, how much did those boards cost in South Korea?

FC660C was bought in Japan for about ¥22,000
RF 104U was bought in Japan for about ¥20,000
RF 23UB was bought in Japan for about ¥10,000
Type Heaven was bought in South Korea for about ₩165,000

Could have got better prices for the FC660C and RF104U by shopping around a bit more, but I had the wife in tow and her patience with all the electronics stores was starting to wear thin

Found Kakaku (http://kakaku.com/) quite useful for Japanese shopping

Yeah I think 104s and 87s can be found for closer to 16000 yen. Did you happen to buy them at yodobashi or a store similar to that?

A bit of a mix. Dosupara, Sofmap and Tsukumo. Even if I paid $30 more to get it from one place instead of the other, it was a lot cheaper to buy in Japan than at home.

[aznairjordan]

Definitely true. I ended up buying 3 boards from Tsukumo just for sake of convenience and their prices were a bit lower

I only found the 'right' Tsukumo on my second venture into Akihabara (there seem to be several Tsukumo stores within Akihabara). First time I went, I could only find a tiny Tsukumo who had no Topre keyboards at all in stock, and Sofmap had the RF. Oh well, no real biggie.

Do you know of any online store that sells with prices that low? I tried kakaku for the silent 87U and the cheapest I saw is 24000.

Can't find any on ebay anymore so I gotta rely on proxy.

I got a silenced real force off amazon.jp really cheap used.

Harvested the silent sliders for my 87u. I need to put that thing back together now that I think of it.

I gotta look harder then. Was thinking of getting a new black one but if I can get one really cheap then might as well harvest it for sliders.

This pretty cheap for having silent sliders: The one I bought was still cheaper but this isn't bad. Can easily harvest it and sell for $150 if you wanted to.
