i did a quick search .. and it seems to be a aliexpress board.
Nothing wrong with that ..but is that where you intent to buy your keyboards.?

The reason i ask is if that's your shop then it's useless to recommend a board that isn't available from there ;-)

Also, there are some people that didn't like their Topres after lubing them! So it may be either that, or the fact that putting silencing rings does remove a little of the tactility.
