Hi Henz, Glad to hear it! Thanks!

Of course, I agree. My NT with Silencing Rings along with synthetic oil lube on the switch guide rails and synthetic grease on the stabilizers now sounds and feels on par with my comparably equipped RF87u boards (45 and 55g).

For an even more amazing experience, put some SA profile caps on your NT. I have the SA Carbon set on mine and it is exquisite.

I have modern selectric on mine and it's divine. Unfortunately mine has ironed landing pads instead of your rings, so there's a slight inconsistency in a couple of the switches.  One day I'll get some and upgrade, but I've been on an alps kick lately.

I have a Realforce 55g as well, but i must say that i like the NT more now with the rings.

Heh.... I have been using the amazing hypersphere rings with SA keycaps for awhile now, but was reading about your love for OEM profile PBT keys on the novatouch.  So now I am waiting on an order of PBT caps to arrive to see how that feels :)

My only complaint with SA caps is its inherent "wobbly" nature due to its extra height. It isn't too bad, but it is immediately noticeable the first time you put them on a novatouch.

this is the one that requires disassembly to fit it in right?
