the spacing well done or too close?

It's impossible to say from that image, we need the actual width of the space specified.

Is there anywhere I can buy a Noppoo choc mini with mx browns? They're always sold out on amazon, and a quick search here showed nothing relevant in the past month.

Is there another keyboard with a similar layout? My ducky with browns died a few years back, and my leopold with reds is alright but I want to return to browns.

2) Is there another keyboard with a similar layout?

1) AFAIK, no.
2) There are some customs that have the layout. But I think in terms of available stock boards, the only ones that have it are the Minitouch and TG3 BL82.

I think you can just share the link and people can either fork it or download the zip.

Not sure about the KBP but the Poker comes with Mini-USB which is usually what mechanical keyboards use, with some exceptions (WASD Code uses Micro-USB iirc).

I read a post that someone had preordered a Ducky Mini Year of the Horse. Is that a regional thing or is Mechanicalkeyboards.com doing pre-orders for that board? I'd like to pre-order one.

Wait, you can pre-order a Ducky Year of the Horse board?? Is that on MK.com?
Nope, I'm in Asia, preordered and prepaid the local distributor of Ducky. They'll call me as soon as it arrives.....

There are some Japan flag doubleshots, apart from that nothing else comes to my mind.

Are there any custom (korean or not) 75% style boards in existance that could be ordered at this time?

- Mx mini
- Lz has a 75% but I forgot the name
- GON might have one too, you might be right about the name

That's just Korean customs I can think of in general. I believe that ordering from GON is the only currently available option though.

While I am not sure which ones use 7 specifically.  But USB 3.0 uses 9.  This link is for all 7 wire din connectors.  There are other styles as well.  Many to choose from if you aren't to picky about size and such.

Does anyone know if the membrane/ribbon connectors on terminal Model M's is the same as that used in the pc versions?  If so, would be an easy matter to connect up a Model M circuit board to the terminal board assembly (these seem to be a much heavier build) - I would like to give this a try - I have a couple of these and the internals - plastic rivets, etc. are in far better shape on the 1986 vs the 1990 pc version despite obviously much more abuse to the former.

Does anyone know if the membrane/ribbon connectors on terminal Model M's is the same as that used in the pc versions?  If so, would be an easy matter to connect up a Model M circuit board to the terminal board assembly (these seem to be a much heavier build) - I would like to give this a try - I have a couple of these and the internals - plastic rivets, etc. are in far better shape on the 1986 vs the 1990 pc version despite obviously much more abuse to the former.

I cannot answer this question directly, but I do know that IBM/Lexmark/Unicomp have changed the controllers several times, drastically, over the years.

I have at least a couple of sets of dead membranes and controllers, but do not see much point in trying to figure it all out.

Unicomp sells something that they refer to as something like "membranes" for about $20 which would be great as long as the controller was part of the package, but without it, I don't see the point.

If anybody knows better about this, I would appreciate it.
"The Trump campaign announced in a letter that Republican candidates and committees are now expected to pay “a minimum of 5% of all fundraising solicitations to Trump National Committee JFC” for using his “name, image, and likeness in fundraising solicitations.”
“Any split that is higher than 5%,” the letter states, “will be seen favorably by the RNC and President Trump's campaign and is routinely reported to the highest levels of leadership within both organizations.”"

do switch covers and stickers serve any purposes? apparently they only function as cosmetics, but i don't understand why they would be necessary, as they sit underneath the keycaps and are not visible at all. maybe for taking cool photos?

For cosmetics really. Stickers supposedly reduce wobble in MX switches as shown in the OP.

Looking to buy my first HHKB, but I'm too poor to get the type-s. Where could I buy something to dampen the sound? I haven't heard good things about the dental bands, so I'm going to stick away from those. Has anyone tried Mcmaster-carr? they have a huge selection of o-rings, i just wouldn't know what to order.

I think the dental bands are really removed so if you don't like them, you could just remove them after installing them. Otherwise, try checking out o2dazone's thread
