Oh no Bunny, you're going to make me buy a Topre board now.
It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.

nope

really the only stab issue topre users face is the spacebar

but for that you just need to do a little modding work yourself which is pretty easy

If everything but the spacebar will work out of the box then that is completely fine.
Most topre boards use 6u spacebars anyway so even using a donor Novatouch wouldn't let you convert the spacebar.
Situation? Good.

Seriously though it's amazing to see the progress you and Ctrl Alt have made since you joined here Bunny, can't wait to see what the future holds!
It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.

I don't understand the stabilizers part. You need Novatouch stabilizers to make a proper Topre to MX mod, or just can't put MX caps on Shift, Enter, etc, don't you?

Well, it's not stabilized as in the Novatouch with a stem on each side, but the slider is still different than 1u sliders.

Also, I'm not really sure that MX caps are designed to be as stable as Topre caps on a single mount.

Well the windows key are still doubleshot just that they are doing a clear shot.
You would need triple shot to have legends unless you did pad printing.
