Post by: davkol on Fri, 19 September 2014, 08:45:13

Noppoo's knock-off of Topre Realforce, but with MX-compatible sliders, is on Massdrop for about $120, shipping US only though.

Well, as far as I know, this one was a clone of Topre sw which can carry all your MX keycaps, not sure about the rubber dome inside the sw.

I love the keycap set, and it would be very cheap to find a Topre keyboard

Anybody know if the spacebar stabs are standard?

I posted the question to the massdrop discussion.

The thing I find really interesting is that the PCB seems to have full LED support.

Not from any of these pictures, but if you head over to the Deskthority thread, there are very clear pictures of the PCB, which lead me to believe there is LED support.

Is there a TKL version in the works?

Are the sliders on this board interchangeable with Topre boards? The stems could really help me change my mods on my FC660C.

I'm also interested in hearing about the quality and compatibility of the sliders. If they're good enough, this would be an excellent Novatouch alternative for harvesting sliders.

Does anyone have any experience with one of these boards?

http://geekhack.org/index.php?action=search :rolleyes:

they prototyped aspects of this design as early as 2011 in the choc pro. In 2013 they had samples of this that were posted about (on pcwaise.cn first I think) by 002 in the linked DT topic. You can see pictures of the slider there. I believe the housings are POM. The slider should be either POM or ABS. More info was posted about in the GH topic in the main KB forum. Too lazy to link: use the search function.

This exact KB came out like 3 days ago so there isnt much info on it specifically beyond the pictures.

Welp, the MD GB fell through.

Anyone know where this keyboard can be easily purchased? (i.e. without a Taobao proxy or paying ~$200)

I'd first wait for reviews from early adopters.

Based on the Noppoo Choc Mini 2M I have in the livingroom.
QA: We need to do this and this and that.
Management: Nope.
QC: Sorry I was texting. Did you say something?
