NovaTouch TKL survey! We want you!! (and you a NovaTouch TKL :D?)!

CM Bram, I know this is off topic but I really liked the Reaper mouse barring 2 things - the switches (m2, m3) were very light and activated from me lifting the mouse, and no removable weights were a real strain - my upper arm muscles currently feel bruised from so much mouse movement! I now have a zowie mouse, but the Reaper was very nice and if these things were fixed I would def consider buying another.

Thanks for the feedback regarding our Reaper! If you feel the switches are beyond spec very light please contact our support department

Completely off-topic, but is there any chance that you'll sell those MX-Topre stems alone one day?

Muirium · 27 Feb 2015, 16:52

They don't work in Realforces. They're too chunky. You'd need the housings too.

Eh? They do work with HHKB and FC660C (https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2947/152 ... 9759_b.jpg), but not with Realforce?

might also be a housing mod for that one.

Not that bad, but too light for me. Good for RTS, bad for FPS. It's always a tradeoff.

Also they always call it the NovaTouch TKL, hopefully I will see a fullsize NovaTouch some day.

Or a NovaTouch 60%.

I was talking about the CM Storm reaper, but it strikes me the same would apply to topre. FPS favors linearity, bottom out aggression

OH whoops

BUT while we're at it though, I think CM storm reaper is way too heavy for low sens FPS and also it's uses a laser sensor with acceleration

.

Anyways yea...

The link is dead

Bramster · 04 Mar 2015, 13:11

Correct cookie, the survey period is officially over but you are welcome tod iscuss more here in the thread if you want to share any thought on it with me

!

PS. The winner has been contacted, is it someone from the DT community?

eldorange · 04 Mar 2015, 14:05

I thought this survey raffle/contest is open worldwide for DT forum members/registered users only...a bit misleading...

Im sorry if you got that impression eldorange, but the contest was/is indeed open worldwide but not limited to Deskthority only. I only posted it here since you guys were such a good community during our development and thought you were interested into sharing more opinions on it and having a chance to win it at the same time. Hope not more people got thing wrong impression of my initial post.

Touch_It · 05 Mar 2015, 17:46

There should totally be another raffle for DT only

. At any rate I don't think you were misleading, but I could see why someone thought this was the case.

Hermith · 05 Mar 2015, 18:56

Thought so too. Finally a decent chance to win I thought.

No acell, but it's a nightmare for low sens - weighs too much. I used to use very low sens (400dpi, 1sens in source games) and my arm still hurts from the muscle strain. It was a real workout. Also, the sensor capped out at around 3m/s, which I could hit/surpass, so too low

Bramster · 09 Mar 2015, 11:11

Let me contact some of my marketing colleagues and the admins see if we can set something up DT only

!

Muirium · 09 Mar 2015, 13:56

I like those odds!

Can I suggest a "new to NovaTouch" rule so the winner can't be one of the people who already has one? Myself included!

scottc · 09 Mar 2015, 13:57

How about "Can't NovaTouch This"?

Bramster · 10 Mar 2015, 16:31

Good suggestions.... Let us think of something to come up with to do... If any suggestions from you guys let me know!

Kay · 16 Mar 2015, 20:26

Drawing contest !

SL89 · 16 Mar 2015, 20:28

Random Number Generator to choose a number from the member numbers. Maybe more people will become members

Redmaus · 16 Mar 2015, 21:17

Oh and maybe a limit to who can join? Like maybe be a user here at DT for at least a week. So people don't just make crap accounts to try to win.

Muirium · 16 Mar 2015, 22:03

I think he means some kind of challenge. Kind of like Ducky Nordic's contests a few years ago. (I won one of those…)

I can't believe that 2nd place beat the 3rd place.

scottc · 16 Mar 2015, 22:13

OO2's Ducky logo is legendary. You can't beat it!

Muirium · 16 Mar 2015, 22:14

Kayvee was quite a character! (He's been nowhere for a while now though, pity.)

That's the thing with contests involving skill: it's all down to the judge. A lottery is "fairer" but less entertaining!
