Conclusion

General + -
Despite the small size of the product, we are looking at a well-designed and ergonomic keyboard. The coating present on each individual keycap is great and the NovaTouch switches are smooth and without any uncertainties. We particularly enjoyed the presence of a keypuller inside the box. Despite being a rather basic and cheap accessory it is a great help in the removal of the individual keycaps.   - Weight
- Bundle
 
Manufacturing quality / Ergonomics   + -
From the ergonomic point of view, the keyboard is very comfortable to use, but the wrist rest would be certainly appreciated. The NovaTouch TKL is a gaming keyboard with a compact size and it is ideal for all those gamers that are frequent at LAN events or do not have much space on their desk. Despite the fact that this a gaming keyobard, the NovaTouch TKL is not backlighted. Overall, the materials used are of excellent quality which we expected from Cooler Master. Last but not least, we really liked the grip and the coat of each keycap.
From the typing point of view, we have to admit that we are quite surprised and impressed about how quickly we can type with these new hybrid switches. The description on the official site CM Storm reflects perfectly on our experience with this keyboard, stating that the NovaTouch TKL is a gaming keyboard which is very quiet when compared to a mechanical keyboard but at the same time the key-travel is very accurate and linear. In addition the new system, which is fully compatible with CherryMX, you will be able to use your favorite custom CherryMX keycaps, which you can also use on NovaTouch TKL.

Recommendation / Price   + -
At Geizhals.eu, the Cooler Master NovaTouch TKL has a price of 179.99 euro excluding shipping costs. Despite being a gaming keyboard, it does not have a full backlight but the quality of materials is on a high level and the product is very comfortable. We were also quite surprised about how these new hybrid switches work since the typing experience is very good. In our opinion, and despite all these good features and the high quality level, we think that the price is a bit steep.     - Price
 
Rating
We gave the NovaTouch TKL from CM Storm 4 out of 5 stars.
