Title: Noppoo Mini vs Choc Mini
Post by: therecorder on Sun, 20 May 2012, 11:49:09

qtan has Minis.  Other than the colors, is there any difference in the boards?

Only difference between the colors is keycap material. The white is pbt, the brown is pom.

Difficult decission to make.  qtan states:

"There [This] is the new noppoo with improved caps printing (lighter than before) which I try to show with the pictures. But due to light and screen display, might be little different than you get it."

What does, "Noppoo 80% with 84 keys", on qtan's page mean: http://www.vendio.com/stores/E-sports-Gaming-equipments/item/shop-mechanical-keyboard-by-br/noppoo-mini-mechanical-gaming-/lid=18974440

vs.

"84 keys 65% of the width of the normal keyboard design", on this ebay page: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Noppoo-Choc-Mini-84-Mechanical-Cherry-MX-Blue-keyboard-/110748744838?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item19c923bc86

It's the exact same board. They are talking about the legend printing contrast, the older batches were harder to see. qtan has better price, so buy it from them if you want the dark color version. The percent stuff is talking about keys compared to a full size 104key (100%). Choc mini has less keys than fullsize so it's an 80% and a Poker is a 60%...

The same keyboard.

The caps are all improved no more old light color caps anymore.

Also, 65% talking about Size , 80% of talking about keys. A little confusing but it is what I quote from official website

I see that the brown switch board has POM caps.  Does the blue switch board?

I'm pretty sure the Noppoo choc mini comes in either switch type. I believe they use POM (Delrin) as the keycap material for all the black keycaps; PBT for the white.

You can sort by switch type (blue) and then pick out a black one if you want cherry MX blue and POM.

Just ordered the Mini with MX Browns.  This is my 13th mechanical keyboard - Hope this brings me some luck with it. :crazy:  Gonna stop with boards, and start with keycaps.
