Not sure if these posts are frowned upon, but I can't find a suitable sub-forum and I'm very excited. So I got a 104 key noppoo last night with mx blue switches! I actually thought I would be receiving the noppoo choc pro, but it turns out I got the older version. I bought it on taobao, and because of my limited ability to read Chinese, I selected the wrong option. It was the cheapest option, so I went for it. So this was my fault, but in my defense, the product was advertised under "noppoo choc pro." The only main difference I can tell is that the older version uses ABS keycaps instead of PBT.
About the board! I'm really happy with it. Of course, it's my first mechanical keyboard, I've only tried a couple of other ones, so I don't have much to compare it to. It feels great to type on compared to these rubber domes I've used my whole life. And its clicky, hehe my roommates are going to hate me.
So i guess taobao product titles might be misleading? Something to look out for. But overall, it was quite cheap and I still couldn't be happier. If anyone is interested, I can post pictures when I get back from work.

Yes, pics are always welcome.
Congrats and enjoy the hole in your wallet.

At least you were able to order it. Most of the time the product is out of stock.

Congratulations!
More keyboards to come, certainly.
