We use UPS and ship from Cheektowaga, NY, so customers on the east coast will get theirs first.

Fit and finish is perfect. Keys are lining up nicely with very little height variation.

I should point out that (unlike the Quiet Pro) the Mini Quiet Pro case is NOT painted.  It is injected black polycarbonate, so it's much less prone to fingerprints.

Interesting - Polycarbonate, hmmm - means more scratch resistant as well, isn't it?

As for the spacebar top surface porosity, is it an hallucination or it is rougher than the fullsize QP?

Compared to ABS, it's much more scratch resistant, and about 50% more expensive.  I believe we are the only company making mechanical keyboards using Polycarbonate.  Everybody else uses cheaper ABS and paints it.

I never noticed before, but it looks like the grain of the texture is a little bigger.

Bigger grain - maybe it will be glossy resistant for little longer.

Awsome ALPS switch, injected polycarbonate case, kickass USB cable... When are we going to be able to have decent PBT keycaps?

I agree.  Definitely a difference between  this spacebar finish and that of my full-size QuietPro.  Thanks.

And I see that as a good thing as long as it takes longer to turn Darth Vader glossy black.
