Also, there are a lot of internet threads regarding this especially in reddit.

From what i was told that novelty isnt popular here in lyn and better go to GH. So i thought here is only for hardcore KB customization.  tongue.gif

Yup. Novelty not popular here. end

Any coders or programmers here? Would like to know whether 60% layout or TKL is more suitable for a coder-to-be.  tongue.gif

I'm not sure whether I will use the keys left out from the 60% layout frequently or not, or it depends on the language to be coded?

Also why people say HHKB is a programmer keyboard? Nope I'm going to get them just asking.  biggrin.gif

May I know what programming language you use for coding purpose?

I'm not too sure though, haven't started it yet. sweat.gif

I'm deciding which layout will be suitable for me, cause I need it portable but I'm worrying I will miss the keys left out in 60%.

Also giving myself a reason to buy one more keyboard brows.gif
*
I'm not sure what kind of answers you are looking for.

About HHKB part:

For programming:
- Don't use fuctional keys like F1-12
- Most of the time touch typing (lazy fingers)
- using arrow keys are bad habit if you are using VIM (so, arrows keys redundant too)
F1-12, arrow keys, page up down etc all become redundants for some programmers.
Hence, 60% keyboard is a good choice.

Smaller, compact with lesser redundancy. laugh.gif

Of course, arrows keys are very important if you using a lot of different software and apps in your OS.
TKL is more universal, much better in my opinion.

Advice: Don't buy something you want but you don't need to impress others. doh.gif

hm pad printing  shakehead.gif  abs however i find acceptable , not too fussy on that smile.gif

but still at least can replace with a cherry corp keyset substitute of choice thkfully  smile.gif
lack of dye sub pbt isn't too big a deal, but it has to be offsetted by a much cheaper pricing, otherwise whats the point.

For a more premium offering, people can still opt to buy the more expensive original topre keyboard.
But then again, do they come with the other nifty features like....

media controls via function key, NKRO, able to use mx cherry corp stem keys, removeable usb cable for keyboard  hmm.gif
I think these days, even topre is being pressured to start offering more off these extras, now that the lower priced alternative are starting to offer these. more competition is always good for the consumer.
*
Some of the features are useful. Novatouch is the first Topre's NKRO via USB. icon_idea.gif
I like their mx-topre slider/stem. nod.gif Innovative.

Original Topre rather have more choices on their products line up. Not all are very expensive. Some are cheaper than Novatouch, and most are expensive than Novatouch.
Many variations in original Topre such as Ducky series, silence series, EK series, hangul series, variable weight (30g,35g,40g,55g), all 30g series, all 45g series, all 55g series and 10th years anniversary series, hi-pro etc etc. sweat.gif

Brands like Sony, Leopold, HHKB, CM all using the "all 45g" Topre for their products.

But i wonder how did they managed to source topre switches  hmm.gif  did they do some licensing agreement ?
*
It's a collaboration between Topre corp and CM. Interesting milestones for both of the companies.
So, the 45g switches and pcb board are manufactured by Topre Japan. thumbup.gif
You can click my review down below in my siggy to see the pictures of tear down of Novatouch.

helo, i wanna buy mech keyboard (TKL), i dont know to decide either CM Storm Quickfire Rapid or FILCO majestouch2.

need some advise which is worth to buy. pls help im new. ty
*
It's easy. Choose Filco Majestouch 2.

Filco Majestouch 2 TKL is the best choice because of its unrivaled quality and build quality.

On the side notes, CM QFR was EOL (end-of-life) product.
The current model of the CM series:
QuickFire Rapid > QuickFire Stealth > QuickFire Rapid-i


Note: Not long ago, shakehead.gif I gave an advice to a newbie recommend to buy Filco...
At the end, that guy go for Razer BWU 2014 and show us the Razer keyboard picture. sad.gif

*
Did you put other devices that draw a lot of power from your usb ports?
You may try removed all USB but only Nova on the USB port and try whether the same issue repeat or not.

Note: CM Novatouch controller is mounted on pcb itself.
