Title: Think the Topre bug bit me...

Finally gave in and bought a RealForce.....It's been two days and i already have 4 of my ten Cherry MX boards up for sale =/ I'm hooked.

My only regret is waiting this long to take the plunge....that and a hurting wallet.

Actually selling a few Cherry boards to fund a HHKB ;)

I am a bit curious how it will feel compared to the 55G RF however.

Post by: quasistellar on Sun, 13 March 2016, 19:03:27: Finally got around to silencing and lubing the stabs on my Novatouch today, as well as installing some sculpted SA caps.

It's on a whole new damn level. Seriously--if you want amazing topre TKL on a budget, get landing pads and the Novatouch. It's ridiculously good. I know people will say that after the trouble of modding a Novatouch, you could get a Realforce, but man those SA caps. . .

they're from a Ducky PBT set but, they're laid on novatouch sliders since the set is MX.

Thanks a lot. Do you know if I can get the Novatouch MX sliders separately somewhere, or will I have to buy the entire board?

there were rumors that CM might consider selling the sliders by themselves but I think that has since died down. Be on the lookout for a "barebones" version that is sometimes sold on Massdrop or by members here in "Classifieds". You get everything except the keycaps and runs cheaper, ~$150.00 more or less. I purchased my barebones from Classifieds here for $135. It's definitely worth it in my opinion because even though the stock PBT caps are great, being able to put on a variety of MX caps on HHKB is just heavenly (the thickness of these makes the 'thock' more deep and satisfying, btw'. Check Classifieds regularly and you might get lucky. Harvest away!
