Cooler Master Novatouch Tenkeyless (Topre) keyboard
Okay for everyone on this thread who loves their topre keyboard, and is disappointed with the discontinuation of their key caps. I knew from discussions and light reading that Cooler Master was trying to get into the Topre playing field. Now granted I love what realforce and the others have done with their topre switches, I will say that it is hard to deal with the modding options being cut down.
Cooler master has come out with two newer keyboards, the first being a cherry mx mechanical keyboard, which is basically rehash of the Rapid(which I own) but with the lighting affects with led back lighting similar to that of a Ducky Shine 2 and 3. Pretty cool rehash for those who enjoy their back lit keyboards, and secondly which was the reason I posted this comment in this thread being...that they are releasing the rapid aesthetically on all outside appearances, but with topre switches instead of the standard cherry mx. Now, that is cool, but no super huge thing, except the fact that you can actually mod their topre keyboards with cherry mx key caps! because of the cross shape stem in the center of the topre cylinder stem to use as a cherry key cap adapter.
Now many of the people on this thread have had their topre keyboards longer than I, and many of you probably know about this keyboard coming out or have at least heard of it. Which I have heard of it, but I did not know about the option to mod this keyboard with cherry mx key caps which I think is an awesome and unique feature that will definitely get topre keyboard enthusiasts to purchase on of these for that reason. Also, the fact that the rapid's design is very nice aesthetically for those who like a minimalist design and this keyboard definitely has that.
Many recommend the Leopold fc660c for a first time topre owner, and that is the keyboard I own which I happen to love entirely. Well I say that this might have to be the keyboard to buy for those either switching from cherry to topre to experience, or even for those who got into the topre switch later on and can no longer find key caps to mod and customize for a decent price.
