Title: Massdrop - CM Novatouch Barebones
Post by: mobbo on Tue, 20 October 2015, 09:36:10: https://www.massdrop.com/buy/cm-novatouch-barebones

Doesn't come with any keycaps. What do you guys think of the price? I'm a little tempted by the dual stem but sticking to my Realforce goal.

It's a solid price, however I've seen many for sale around $130-$140 with keycaps (granted, they're ****, but that's besides the point).

I'd buy this and a Realforce, then swap the stems over to the Realforce. That way you've got the MX Keycap option!

Ah so they will be selling them on their own?

Ohh reallyyy. The stems are what attracted me to this drop in the first place. I've was starting to wonder if my MX Artisans would become unusable should I decide to switch to Topre. Wasn't sure on pricing though as I'm still learning.

I was so close to joining the drop but I held off and went on /r/MechMarket and got a basically brand new Nova for 130 shipped. Always keep an eye out for the deals 0.o
