My 4-star rating is based on my opinion that the stock keyboard needs some modifications to realize its full potential. Of course, the keycap exchange is expected -- the novelty of the Novatouch is that it was the first Topre-switch keyboard to be...

Smooth mechanical switches, simple TKL design, nice packing, comes with o-rings, slightly quieter than browns, braided modular cable (micro USB)

The NovaTouch's thin key caps feel "cheap". For the price, I expect higher quality, like double-shot injection caps. My primary complaint though is bottoming out. Fully depressing keys on the NovaTouch keys is jarring -- it feels really unpleasant. The...

Has both one of the best mechanical switches technology (Topre) and the widest range of customization due to its compatibility with Cherry MX keycaps ; Very solid build, and this includes the choice of a micro-USB connector, which is stronger than a...

No CapsLock LED ; A little bit noisy. It will depend on your typing style. Sound dampeners ("O-rings") are provided in the box and you can install them if you want to make the keyboard quieter
