Noppoo Choc Mini, Keycool 84, DSA and Esports g20 keycaps considerations

[asgeirtj]

Hi, I'm considering the Noppoo Choc Mini since the Keycool 84 is apparently unavailable right now (at least in mx red, i got an email from a banggood employee that a new keycool was coming out, anyone have any info on when that might be?). I'm going to replace the keycaps with
sp dsa[1]http://keyshop.pimpmykeyboard.com/product/dsa-pbt-blank-sets

I seem to have read somewhere that these keycaps won't fit the noppoo, is that correct?

I'm also planning on getting some of these g20 esports keycaps[2]http://keyshop.pimpmykeyboard.com/product/family-g20-esportsgaming
Does anyone know their height relative to the dsa's?

I know that the spacebar is 5,5x which is unique, so, does anyone know the height of the spacebar so I can compare it to the dsa keys?

I'm looking at this copy[3]http://www.ebay.com/itm/Noppoo-Choc-Mini-NKRO-Mechanical-Keyboard-Cherry-MX-Red-/250888280157http://www.ebay.com/itm/Noppoo-Choc-Mini-NKRO-Mechanical-Keyboard-Cherry-MX-Red-/250888280157 of the keyboard which has a 1,25x alt, which is the older version of the noppoo I believe, would it be possible to replace it with an 1x alt and then be able to put in a 6,2x space?

Thank you

I believe that the Choc Mini still has debounce issues which causes the keyboard to chatter. I'd double check that because if it still has issues, I wouldn't get the board.

I have read about problems with Noppoo's on GH, but from the 2 years I've had mine I've experienced no issues.  I do hate the spacebar sometimes though...replacing keys on any mini board is going to be difficult, but a Choc Mini compatible spacebar is just notoriously impossible to find.

I was more impressed with my KC84, to be honest.  But...the black pom caps on the noppoo are still to this day my favorite of any cap to type on (for linear and clears).

If the new keycool keyboard you mean refers to the new 87 backlit models with Kailh switches. They are already available in the market.
They are cherry mx switches alike and also define as brown, blue,red and black. Now available backlights include white,blue and green .


There are still a few keycool 84 with cherry mx red switches in the market yet.

Failing that, send xuanwumen a message on here as he is now my go-to Keycool guy.
