Topre switch / Cherry MX compatible

Also relieved, but I guess this means we're probably not going to get these this month?

Looks like we're beyond prototype phase now.

If only the picture was bigger, I can't quite search for the Topre logos on the PCB!

Man the final product looks sick!
Nice job Coolermaster, nice job

luckynet2 · 25 Jul 2014, 22:22

i wanna pre-order this so badly T.T

JBert · 25 Jul 2014, 22:28

I'm waiting for a Soarer converter for these...

Muirium · 25 Jul 2014, 22:35

USB. Integrated controller on the PCB. Not looking likely.

JBert · 25 Jul 2014, 22:37

In that case I just wait a bit longer until someone designs a USB converter for a Teensy 3...

Muirium · 27 Jul 2014, 15:05

Let's just say I ain't done flaunting yet…

PBT Granite. So sweet, I posted a whole photo set. The most sublime caps I have ever even seen, let alone have!

hasu's TMK_firmware has a USB - to - USB converter code that you can use to reprogram it.

It doens't support LED, but the novatouch I saw doesn't have those anyway.

Still two days left for an announcment in july. Also on the NovaTouch fb-page there are more nice pictures: https://www.facebook.com/novatouch/post ... 6119978776

Btw. : Are these O-Rings on the photos?

Yes. The NovaTouch, at least the prototype, is for some reason louder than regular Topre, so it seems optional o-rings will be included.

luckynet2 · 01 Aug 2014, 17:15

Yes. The NovaTouch, at least the prototype, is for some reason cheaper than regular Topre, so it seems multiple purchases will be available

Behind the caps, where they should be.

Still nothing for a release date?
It's getting a bit long no? It was supposed to be by July already if I remember

should be sometime before end of this year, depending on the market, it took sometime for the irapide to reach most markets, heard in China it'll be in excess of 200 USD

What is your source?

Muirium · 08 Aug 2014, 16:31

Wishful thinking counts as a source, right? It sure does for Round 5!

SL89 · 13 Aug 2014, 03:56

It's on sale as of today on the CoolerMaster site.

Their website's broken. It won't let me type a description where it says to!

002 · 13 Aug 2014, 09:56

"Allan please add details"
Has anyone tried ordering yet? Seems they don't ship to Australia

Daniel · 13 Aug 2014, 10:27

Hmm they only seem to ship to United States, Canada and Mexico.

noobie94 · 13 Aug 2014, 10:34

I want it now

Cdim · 13 Aug 2014, 10:44

Ordered mine right when that link was posted, had no problems (us).
Can't wait, the keycap puller and case is very nice, but at ~$225 (tax+shipping) it would have been nice to toss in at least a double shot/pbt WASD in there... Considering swapping caps is the big deal with this board and its main selling point. O well still excited.

Cdim · 14 Aug 2014, 03:32

update: they took it off the site, must have been an error in putting it up so soon. They didn't forget to accept my money though

. After two days the order status is "awaiting fulfillment" so I am guessing I will have to wait still for a while :/.
Info: was priced at $199

Bramster · 14 Aug 2014, 08:44

Hi everyone,

Here an official statement on this regarding the listing on the USA cmstore. It was by mistake online a little earlier as supposed to be so was taken down already again.

As this shows we are indeed getting closer to launch but we are not there yet! For those early adopters who already purchased one on the cmstore-usa.com you will be contacted by the US CM Store representative soon.

For when it will come online again I cannot communicate a new date yet only that it will be soonish and it will be at the same time globally...

Thank you for the understanding and if you have any questions feel free to ask here or via a PM.

Regards,
- Bram

rindorbrot · 14 Aug 2014, 09:29

Can you comment on the price? 199$, so will it be 150€ for is Europeans?

002 · 14 Aug 2014, 09:33

Don't be silly, rindorbrot...199 and 150 aren't the same number at all!

rindorbrot · 14 Aug 2014, 11:29

That is what I fear...

Thanks for letting us know here. Still looking forward to getting one when you guys finally finish it. Would appreciate getting your keyboard here in Australia. Sick and tired of always buying out of Korea or US when it comes to getting any thorpie keyboards.

Just glad there is another thorpie on the horizon willing to take SA profile key-caps
