It's not Topre.
It's Noppoo's own capacitive switch.

You must be comparing CM Storm QuickFire Rapid-I with Ducky Shine 3 (TKL).
CM better in pricing, cheaper, and worth (Less than RM400). Previous QFR also reputable for the quality too.

Ducky series famous for their quality. The quality are considered top in LED mechanical keyboard.
Ducky Shine 3 has more LED features.
Just that the price relative high compared to other LED featured mechanical keyboard.

Poker II

Highly customizable with led, casing.
The stocked keycaps is pbt materials which long lasting for typist use.
And the price is worth and affordable.

yup.

Topre keycaps are limited, as Topre corp now stop production for third party keycaps.
If you want to get new set of keycaps set, let me know.

For the time being, you just clean the keycaps. Save money.

If you coding, then go for Filco Majestouch 2 TKL.
Since you using touch typing and LED absolutely redundant for typist.

Not recommended.
The reason not recommended because finding replacement keycaps is hard for this keyboard especially for the spacebar.

Standard layout comes with 1.25x modifiers and 6.25x spacebar.


Filco Majestouch 2 TKL is the best quality and feel among all the manufactured keyboards.

I advised you to avoid this brand Razer.
Please look at my old post here.
Now you know new mechanical switch of Razer just a rebranding of kailh (clone Cherry MX).
Why kailh switch bad?
You click this link, you will understand. http://imgur.com/a/7ujle
Kailh switches infamous for low quality and easily broken stem if you pull your keycaps hard.

For mechanical keyboard, we always looking for long lasting.
So, I always not recommend trash to others.

It's 25% less actuation time because Romer-G switch has rather shorter distance to actuation point of 1.5mm.
Cherry switch has 2mm distance to actuation point.
As the finger speed is the same, 2.0mm (Cherry) to 1.5mm (Romer-G) is a 25% faster (less actuation time).

Yup. All keyboards compatible with mac in terms of functionality.
Most need simple tweaks of simple remapping to change position of option key to command key.
Get Karabiner (previous known as keyremap4macbook) to remap your key.

For manufactured keyboard,
Native support using DIP switch is useful when your typing layout is using the common 1. Like qwerty, dvorak, colemak.
If you using custom layout then definitely need go for Karabiner to remap the keys you want.

Guys..

Here is my review after using Novatouch more than 300 hours of typing.
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3356771

These files for store configuration of remap keys in every keyboard.
So, different keyboard plug in to mac, it will load different keymap configurations.

Gamers need shorter actuation time.
Last time we see:
Razer offered 1.9mm (shorter actuation time)
Logitech offered 1.5mm (shortest actuation time)
Better in result during gaming.
Why no jailhouse blue mod pictures? lurk your sakai4eva imgur also can't find any trace of your new project.

Novatouch is using real Topre. You can check in my review thread. I got open the whole keyboard and see.

Noppoo, uisng their own capacitive switch.

Just pull the trigger. Do it in master race way.
Buy Nova as donor board, and transfer the slider to your 10years anniversary Topre.

Yup, Filco's cable is non-detachable.
Unless, you mod it to detachable (using detachable Filco mod kit).

Me also.. Just not yet open thread.

What you mean ?

The drunken seems not suit your board and other cc.
The color is dim, as it's not vibrant as other cc.

It's depends on ppl think the caps are worth or not.
Just put it in thread, and some sohighs will come and trade. Happened before.
History will repeats.

Where you get the pink topre keycaps? free from belfong after you traded him the drunken?
Shorter actuation distance really a deal breaker. Get a HHKB Type-S if you want silence and normal actuation distance of master race Topre.
