Hi Guys
Available to pre order from today we have the very interesting new mechanical offering from CM Storm.
This is the first capacitive switch board that OcUK has ever offered and having typed on an early sample a few months ago, it really is something special.
This model is focussed on typing comfort but also feels extremely accurate with switch actuation requiring seemingly little force.
Cherry Brown and Red uses will absolutely love this board.
I am an MX Blue user at the moment and must say that the Novatouch is tempting me to go back to a lighter switch as it is just so nice to type on.
Obviously a £150 TKL isnt going to be for everyone, but for those looking forward to this board, here it is.
I am expecting demand to massively outstrip supply on this SKU so a pre order is a wise move.
I have asked CM for a sample to test and do a proper review on for you guys.
ETA is looking to be around mid to late November.
CM Storm NovaTouch TKL Hybrid Capacitive Switch Mechanical Keyboard @ £149.99 inc VAT
The Cooler Master NovaTouch TKL provides the ultimate typing experience for all - including the eSports professional and the expert typist. To achieve this, the NovaTouch TKL uses a Japanese made hybrid capacitive switch with a uniform 45 gram actuation force and a 1mm actuation point. This Cooler Master exclusive unique switch has an ultra smooth press, a tactile trigger point, and a rapid debounce time. The debounce time is 3x faster than traditional mechanical switches, allowing Actions per Minute (APM) to not be hindered by hardware limitations. Additionally, the switch is designed with a custom stem that is fully compatible with Cherry MX keycaps for keyboard customization enthusiasts.
The Novatouch TKL features Hybrid capacitive switches, this combines a mechanical spring based switch and an electrostatic capacitive sensor that provides uncompromised tactile feedback as well as promoting excellent typing comfort and durability. These capacitive switches have no physical mechanical coupling which actually eliminates switch bounce and sensor chatter as there is less friction on each keystroke than a regular mechanical switch.
Cooler Master has integrated the stem design from the popular Cherry MX switch types to allow Novatouch users to customise their board using aftermarket keycaps or O-Ring dampers.
