Is the NT already at the next one :D? This morning I sent the Nova Touch to RoastPotatoes in the United Kingdom. I skipped the next person: IanM (UK) since I did not get an answer on my PM within 10 days. Thank you CM Bram for the possibility to test the Nova Touch. It is a great keyboard. I will p...

One of my keyboards at work is a WASD Code TKL with MX Greens. After putting on some real key caps (Dolch replica in my case) I often use it for a whole week before returning to my beloved IBM SSK.
