Introduction
The Noppoo 108EC-Pro is a standard (full) size keyboard that utilizes an electrostatic capacitive switch technology providing the user with soft tactile feedback. Currently, two versions are available: (1) uniform 35g-weighted characterized by soft tactile feedback, and (2) uniform 45g-weighted with more tactility that, according to Noppoo, offers closer sensation to Topre switches.
Availability and reception
Noppoo 108EC-Pro became available in the US through Amazon.com online stores and Amazon Prime at the beginning of May 2015. The 35g version was the only version available. By the end of the same month the item was sold out and out of stock. Noppoo's aggressive pricing to compete against Cooler Master NovaTouch TKL and, especially, Topre Type Heaven seems to be working very well in terms of sales. However, the reception has been mixed, from very positive to very negative. It remains to be seen if the 108EC-Pro will eventually win over more positive support for their capacitive switch that fully supports Cherry MX compatible keycaps.
