CM Storm NovaTouch TKL Premium Keyboard Review
Cooler Master classifies the CM Storm NovaTouch TKL Premium keyboard in the “heavy duty” category. Being a more effortless, easy touch with long lasting quality construction its market sweet spot are users who spend time typing and have no need for a 10 number keypad, gaming macros, LED lighting or large foot print on the desk. Simply put, the CM Storm NovaTouch Keyboard is a serious keyboard that a data input worker, analyst, researcher or writer would, by the end of a busy day, greatly appreciate. However, according to the specifications, the response speeds are approximately three times faster than typical mechanical keyboards, which could be a big difference for some gamers. Could this be the first of a new CM Storm line of keyboards? I would bet it is.
Cooler Master’s description of this keyboard is like this:
“NovaTouch utilizes a patented Japanese hybrid switch design that combines the benefits of a mechanical spring-based switch and an electrostatic capacitive sensor to provide excellent tactility, comfort, durability, and response.”
In other words combine a Cherry-MX with a Topre key switch and you have the NovaTouch Hybrid. The “TKL” in the name means TenKeyLess keyboard, without the 10 keypad for space saving and handling.
