Proper typing posture is supposed to look more or less like this and hands ought to float above the keyboard.(I have rather short fingers too.)
See how the keyboard is angled down? Why do keyboards have feet on the top rather than the bottom of the keyboard then to help facilitate this?
Quote from: minho on Mon, 28 April 2014, 13:13:41See how the keyboard is angled down? Why do keyboards have feet on the top rather than the bottom of the keyboard then to help facilitate this?Because of people who cannot type and have to look at lettering all the time. And manufacturers put it there, because everyone else is already doing it. Pretty much like staggered QWERTY.
WTF do you do with them? I can't recall the last time I touched my keyboard's case, except putting it in a bag/box when travelling.
I usually rest my fingers on the wasd or some other keys and wrist on the table, is that wrong posture? It just feels good to me and I've been doing that since I started playing games. I don't look at keyboard when I type as well. Bad habit maybe?

I only get wrist pain when handwritting. The desk is where I belong to, then. I'm glad the nova touch for someone like me, heavenly free that doesn't wear you down like a blue does for me and it's well, customizable duh.

For those still waiting on this, I pinged Cooler Master on twitter and this is the response I got "Still in the works, should be ready by the end of this month. We waited to make sure all the product scheduling was on track."
Cool. Hopefully somebody will post in this thread once it's available somewhere. Can't wait to get my hands on one of these to plunder it for parts.

None of the reviews so far have actually confirmed that the sliders will work with other Topre boards, as far as I know.

Personally I am wondering if I could plunder parts for keychains while still keeping enough of it working. I shall have to make a list of keys I can do without...

I would think for keychains you'd be better off with a cheap type heaven and 3d printed mx stems.
It's interesting, the LinusTechTips video is still set for private for this keyboard.I did get to see it, seems he wasn't too taken by it, not sure if that's the reason.

It's a good width! If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.

I don't need anymore keyboards

Board looked and sounded pretty good from what I could tell.The PCB was also branded with the Topre logo which is a good sign. I though for a second that since they kept referring to them as "Japanese hybrid switches" that they may have been using clones, but these are legit topres. I have never owned a topre, but it shouldn't feel any different than any other of the same weight.
They avoid using the word "Topre" because of legality issues in some countries, not because they're using a Topre clone.
Like others have mentioned before. I always thought the reason they never call them topre is because of marketing. They want to make it sound like they are the only place to get this "new" switch.
Quote from: Sniping on Tue, 22 July 2014, 21:17:46They avoid using the word "Topre" because of legality issues in some countries, not because they're using a Topre clone.Why would there be issues with legalities if they're legit Topre's?
Likely their omission of stating that the switches are Topre would be to keep customers. Once the customer realizes the switch type isn't anything exclusive to Cooler Master and that they have options, they'll just google for other Topre boards and buy one of those. After all, the switch type is one of the main selling points of the board. Maybe 1 in 10 consumers would be interested in the MX keycap compatibility at best (outside of the keyboard enthusiast communities).After all, why would the consumer wait for a product that is already available if the alternatives will meet their needs?
