Any chance you guys are looking at the Royal Kludge brand? Here is a
link.In particular I'm interested in the standard RK930-87 w/ Electro-Cap switches and POM keycaps in 45g and 55g.
They also carry this version in backlit RGB, and in 104 size formats.
Business arguments for:
- The EC switches shouldn't have any chattering issues associated with something like Cherry.
- The switches are compatible with Cherry MX keycaps.
- The EC switches themselves are sourced from Noppoo and have been in production for two years now so all the early bugs should be worked out.
- No Mini/Micro USB port issues because the cable is hardwired.
- Unlike Topre, these use Costar/Wire stabilizers so if the stabilizers squeak it should be easily remedied by the end-user with lube.
- Closest competitor is the Coolermaster Novatouch which lacks 55g option, LED's, numberpad, and
programmable RGB backlighting.
- Even the standard 930-87 version has higher quality thick POM vs. the NovaTouch's thin ABS.
- Price is around 50% of the NovaTouch so you can stock twice as many!
- Topre no longer sells full size 104 keyboards with 55g weighting, but RK does!
