Help. Masterkeys Pro [MX Red] or Novatouch. I am going crazy!

Well, as the topic says I simply cant decide what of these two keyboards I should keep and that is probably because they are very different. However I need to make a decision today because I cant keep both.
Before ordering a new keyboard I tried to decide by reading guides and watching tons of videos on Youtube but that only made me more confused so I ordered both in hopes that getting my fingers on them would help me make a decision. I was very wrong!
I like how to Novatouch feels more solid when typing on while the keystrokes on the Masterkeys feels wobbly  Especially the spacebar that both sounds and feels VERY different from the other keys. I know this is normal, I do own a couple of other mechanical keyboards, but it has just come to annoy me alot lately (man I hate both the Costar and Cherry stabilizers). The Masterkeys also sound very hallow when typing on it which gives me a feeling of a cheep product. On the upside I like the feeling of the MX Reds and the RGB-lighting is very nice. Bright and vidid colours.
The Novatouch lacks background lighting, which is not a dealbreaker but still, and can sometimes feel a bit mushy typing on and can remind me of rubber domes. This is necessarily not a bad thing!

In the end I know that it is all down to personal preferences but since I just cant make up my mind tell me what you think. Convince me to keep the keyboard you think is the "best"!


PS: I am not comparing Topre with rubber domes. I know the difference so dont go crazy

throw both in the trash and get an model f or 87u

out of the two, i would probably keep the novatouch. you can always lube/silence the keys with stabilizers to "tame" them a bit. that was my biggest turnoff about the NT; noisy stabs.

I'd personally probably give out my usual HHKB! Shout out but given both boards you are looking at are TKL i would second this recommendation. 

I would not pay 140$ for a Coolermaster Cherry Board IMO bit high for what it is,The novatouch is a decent board IF you are willing to mod it as stock it just has a horrible sound profile.

But if you are set on TKL i would really truly second the Realforce Recommendation the quality is leaps above the NT.   But the biggest question of course is which switch you ultimately want Topre or MX Reds?  Personally after using Topre i could never go back to Cherry.
