A friend found this on ebay today.  I was really excited until I read that they are only selling black switches Noppoos.  For people not wanting to deal with a proxy and want black switches, this would be the route for you.

Gah, my ctrl-F for "Choc" didn't come up with any matches, so I figured I was the first to notice this.

Mods please close this thread.

Odd.  It says 3 sold.  I thought he sold out of his last batch or something.

Not a lotta Poo.   More like little turds.


EDIT - OH I SEE....... raised the price.  Bummer.

Not quite. The blacks didn't sell out, but he got more and stuck em on ebay.

Again, browns and blues are sold out all over. The blacks are all thats left for the time being for the Choc Mini. If you have any requests I will contact the seller for you and arrange the sale.

Also, we are maybe in the works for starting a little keyboard business ;) keep an eye out for a vendor forum soon if we do!

He ran out of the blues and browns.  But I think he also raised the prices on these blacks (used to be same price as blues @89.99).

Like I said before...he was either making no money or losing money at 89.99. Its either the price goes up to 99 or he stops selling.

lol

For $61 you can hire 10 chinese workers to reverse engineer and then build a choc mini with browns before they are in stores again. I estimate they will be able to build ~300 keyboards.
