Hello!

Quick question, for which I was unable to find an answer Googling around:
does the Novatouch pcb fits inside the Realforce case?
I already possess the former, plus a set of PBT keycaps, so I was wondering if it's possible to do since I like the Realforce case better.

Thanks.

No, the case can not be swapped.

Unfortunately, no. The space separating the main block of keys from the nav cluster is different between the two. The space separating the F-row from the alpha block may also be a little different.

Bummer, i like DSA profile keycaps and to me the look best on a flat case with large bezels.

Thanks for the help

Swap the sliders?

But I have to say that the original Realforce key caps are really good!

MX-stemmed keycaps with more than one stem (i.e., all the stabilized keys) aren't compatible with Topre switch housing. You'd have to drill holes into the Realforce plate to accommodate them.
