branding?  Other than, looks awesome.

I have a black one I just sanded the logo off the space bar. The highest I had was 600 grit sand paper and it's slightly noticeable. Anyways, I'm going to do the same when I get my white one; I'm sure it won't be noticeable at all with white.

Is it possible to flip the spacebar for other reasons, then? And is it harder to press than the other keys? Because the white version does look really nice.

it's funny that the metalplate is bright.
the stabilizer holders are black. don't mind the black "ruschtstop" in the middle of the spacebar.
just my anti bottom out mod.

i like the the keycaps too. this are the best noppoo mini keycaps until now. I have the black dark und the black bright variant from noppoo.

The red print looks much better on the white version than the black. Mine is like a pink magenta color.

I read many reports that the Choc mini's key legends wear out very fast. Are the legends on the whites more durable?

I really wish the keys were still POM rather than PBT, I really like the feel of the POM black keys and I don't know if I could handle going back to something else.

Some of the above report that legends wearing out within a week. So I'm wondering if the white Choc Mini has more durable printing.

One personal annoyance with the choc mini is I can't press ctrl with my left hand palm as easily because of the outer casing is higher. More of a gamer thing. o_O

Apologies for the bump- can someone confirm the colour of the LEDs on the Choc Mini White?

Thanks. That's what I was hoping- looks good and its a nice change from the 'blue LED' trend.
