So basically I may buy a topre reaper off a guy, and im really thibking about it as I may buy a topre board in the future. Now my question is, can I rig it onto a novatouch stem without taking the board apart? Will the cap atleast sit on the board? Like ive nevee touched a topre cap so I have no clue. Any help is appreciated, and if I need to go the slider route, it is what it is.

I don't believe it will really fit at all.

Bro's topre stems won't work on a Novatouch without quite a bit of modification.

Edit: You'd need to cut out the middle bit that holds the two halves of the topre stem.
People in the 1980s, in general, were clearly just better than we are now in every measurable way.

The dumber the reason the more it must be done

So my only option is getting a topre keyboard, topre slider, or trading it for a mx reaper which seems less likely?

I think I remember reading that Bro's squared MX stems don't fit in the novatouch sliders

Yeah but even an MX reaper won't work due to the rectangular stem. You'd need to sand it down for it to work on a Novatouch.

Edit: trizkut beat me by 1 sec  :))
