Ducky v Noppoo
« on: Wed, 19 October 2011, 20:12:54 »
having a hard time deciding if i want the ducky tenkeyless or the noppoo mini. anyone have both brands,want to comment?think there is a quality difference between them?it'd cost the same for either board.

i know quite a few of you have good sized collections,so lemme know what you think.

If you aren't sure then get the Ducky.

The noopoo's non-standard layout is something you will love or loath so unless you are confident that you want to deal with it then get the Ducky so you have less new things to deal with all at once.

They're both cheap, but the non-standard layout of the Nopoo could be an annoyance for some folks.

Or the oposite.

I really enjoy the layout of the noppoo but as stated, it is personal to the individual.

I would go with the Ducky as well.  I find that as a daily driver, I prefer a normal layout (except the HHKB).

I like the layout too. It's just about perfect. Compact layouts are pretty much all around FTW

I personally prefer my Choc Mini over the DK-1087 I had. I love the layout of the Choc Mini, quality wise they are pretty similar and I had premature keycap wear on both. From what I understand the new Choc Minis have corrected this problem.

I love the Noppoo as well, but you should be aware that you need to press the Fn key to access useful keys such as Home.

I would get Ducky if I were you. Noppoo has strange layout and I do not appreciate its portability much.

Ducky have bad QC and a design flaw which they never wanted to correct. The esc keys is nor centered, its towards the left.
You cannot even fit the filco keycap puller in nicely, you have to apply a certain force due to the design flaw.
