If you are unhappy with your choc mini layout I will take it off your hands. Looking for the browns.

Hey, I've got an extra Noppoo Choc with MX Blues coming in the mail shortly.  Interested?

I don't enjoy the sound of blues like other enthusiasts do. I prefer the browns but maybe if I can't find the browns for sale.

If I had a poo keyboard I'd sure want it taken off my hands.

Which hand does a  Noppoo user shake with?

With his right of course!

lol you're out of luck, I was planning on flipping mine in order to buy a PLU ML-87 and some colored keycaps, but I ended up liking this board more than I thought I would.

Truth.  I was thinking that the Noppoo was going to be a little gimmicky or too much of a HHKB wannabe, but the more I use it, the more I like it.  I think it would be better if they had the HHKB layout just to make it that much smaller, but they layout is pretty good and the key caps rock (I have an idea on rectifying the fruity printing, too).  The only disappointment I have is that the virtual numpad is worthless.  You can't use it with the Fn key, and there is no backslash, so you can't divide on a calculator or in Excel.  Dumb.

...why can't you use it with the fn key? i thought that was the whole point D:

Two reasons:

1. It doesn't work.
2. The Fn key is under the numpad which would be very difficult to use even if it did work.

Bad design decision if you ask me.  The only thing I lose because if it though is the number pad.  I don't use the Fn key for hardly anything on the Noppoo except the media keys but I even forget about those most of the time.
