Nah I mean a groupbuy for some nice cases that do not have the rubberized finish.

The font is Futura, I think. A real classic. But legends aren't just a font: they are how it's applied. The text size is inconsistent (ESC is huge) and the legends are in an awkward spot: top centre on the key as if waiting for backlights that don't exist.

They could learn a lot from Matt3o and 7bit.

You could make your life a lot easyier with blank caps, so all the reasoning over the "font" would disappear and all would say how great it looks :D

Please release an ANSI version in Europe. It's really frustrating to have to import keyboards from the US just for them to be ANSI. If I need to import from the USA, then I might as well be buying a Realforce or something instead since I'm going to get stung by customs anyway...
I wholeheartedly second this. Having to import ANSI keyboards from the USA is a pain in the ass.
Please consider releasing the ANSI version in Europe as well. Many of us hate to deal with customs and import tax just to get a nice keyboard and desperately need this keyboard.

Man, somebody posted a pic of novatouch the other day on IRC. It looks AWESOME. Throw out the caps and put on a set of PBT blanks and you've got an awesome board. No LEDs, no branding all over the place, just pure minimalistic awesome keyboard.

Now I'm seriously interested. Crap. I really shouldn't be looking into buying new boards anymore...

How can you complain about the looks of that? Disregard the font, which is of course gamerly abysmal.

Exactly what adhoc said! 8-)

Really looking forward to this.

Even with a rubber finish?

Interesting to see a black or brown slider in that picture. Others show them as purple, and with better looking caps. Evolving prototypes perhaps?

I must say that the rubber finish is verry sensitive to fingerprints.
That was one of the verry few things I disliked about my QFR :)

What is the price tag for that one?
I only need the sliders, can I return you the internals and the case? :D

Tested to work on Topres! CM's sliders are intended to work in the NovaTouch, so no guarantees.

I suggest to sell them naked, without key caps.

That's the case for every keyboard out there using anything less than double shots or dye sub caps: which is almost all of them!

The only problem is that I need propper cherry caps!
I only have my old Doubleshots.
