The touch is quite firm, and I suspect even heavier than the Model M, but the tactility is quite noticeable and prominent. I can't test when it actuates, since I don't have the soarer's converter from orihalcon yet.

As for "Quite" Touch, it is indeed quite quiet, at least for contemporary standards.

Are the domes the same as on a rubberdome model m?
How did the keycap/slider look?
Could it be possible to change the domes against model m flippers?

I don't think they're the same; these domes were made by Honeywell under the Micro Switch brand. They have square holes in a Model F-esque sandwich construction.

Ah thanks for the information, I also like my rubberdome model m, it feels quite nice, of course not as nice as a model f. If I ever get a rubberdome unsaver for cheap I will probably also take it.

Also, after some testing, this keyboard (internally at least) supports NKRO.

I honestly have no idea. You might contact someone who has both an unsaver and this board, like lot_lizard, I think.
