What to do to get closer to the Ultimate Topre experience with a Novatouch?
« on: Thu, 07 May 2015, 09:21:31 »
I heard that PBT keycaps bring a lot to the game,but too thick and the thock will be less loud.What to do with a stock Novatouch to improve it

I suggest doing spicebar's landing pad mod. The stock Novatouch has the loud upstroke due to the plastic mx-switch slider hitting the plate. I have done this to mine, and the result is really nice. The classic topre "thock" sound is still very satisfying after this doing this. :)

The stabilizers could use some lubing as well to fix the rattling.

Nope.. the only acceptable topre board is the uTron.

Everything else is N00br

Then some are putting the Novatouch experience into Topre's (slider swapping).
