Very detailed review, great job!

You mentioned that the spacebar is better than the one on the HHKB?
is it as noisy as the Realforce or the HHKB?

Yup. Best spacebar feeling as compared to costar, cherry stab and hhkb space bar.
The sound is louder than hhkb.
You can check my typing sound video above.

What I meant was the spacebar rattling noise,

My realforce has the same problem too, oddly only poker2 doesn't have that problem...
I didn't hear the Nova's spacebar making much noise... is it as good as the poker?

If you are talking about rattling sound of spacebar...

Novatouch do not has rattling sound like those costar stab keyboard like filco or hhkb and realforce.

It's like cherry stab keyboard like your poker don't make rattling.
Novatouch is much better spacebar than poker (cherry stab).
Just that the feeling of pressing the spacebar is much polished feel.
The best space bar feel that I'm feel so far in mkb.

What??  shocking.gif
You are selling Realforce 10 anniversary? wub.gif
Everyone thought you already retired and end game with your RF 10years anniversary. wub.gif
Unexpected now you want "out mountain" ..  rclxms.gif

now that I think of it, because my RF is silent,
I wanted to be as quiet as possible when typing,
it's the noise of the spacebar that is annoying me,

and Novatouch is not silent ...... sweat.gif

what is the point of getting a whole non silent keyboard with a silent spacebar??? doh.gif

Maybe wait till CM come up with a silent design like you suggested biggrin.gif


Edit:
Have you tried it with O-rings that come with the package?
if it works, even I had my End game with the previous RF,
it might just be the "game changer" that make me come out of my mountain. thumbup.gif

The spacebar is not silent, it sounds like normal alphabetic Topre sound too.  smile.gif

Your RF is silent series?

I see your point. Some like Topre loud and clear, and some like it silence.  nod.gif

Edit: Yup. I tried the o-rings come with package. It will reduce the typing sound.
You may internal mod the slider with thin bumper too to reduce typing sound.
Indeed both method will greatly reduce the typing sound, but it does reduce the activation distant too.  sad.gif

Need to find a way to test one of the Novatouch before I pull the trigger....
I m not that young anymore, so I can't afford to be so impulsive anymore. tongue.gif
