What are the best cheap keycaps for a better feel for my novatouch?
« on: Mon, 06 April 2015, 19:21:22 »
Heard that a guy felt a total different experience and hated the stock caps,and I really seem underwhelmed by them tbh.What should I go for? Doubleshot pbts? Also what is the difference between flat keycaps ,do they feel different?Also will the keycaps fill into the stabilizers?

Most half-decent keycap sets will give you a different feel to any keyboard.  Whether it is better is entirely subjective.

Thick ABS doubleshot (e.g. GMK) will give a nice solid feeling.

SA profile ABS (from PMK) will do so even more!

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

The opinion that VesperSAINT gave me was that thin PBT would be the best option like you see on stock realforce boards.
The reason behind this is that PBT is just the preferred material and RF PBT is really good in quality.
Why you would want thin PBT is that thicker caps would dampen the signature "pop" of topre.
