Title: What to do!?
Post by: Moomoo on Thu, 25 April 2013, 23:25:30

Hey GeekHackers,

I've got a Filco MJ2 (Full) and a Noppoo Mini. I am not sure what I could do with them thinking to try to modify or customize them. If it's not worth it maybe salvage them to build something else?

Question is, what would you guys do?

Try making a Filpoo Mid out of them.

"Salvage"? Are they broken?

If I had a Noppoo Choc Mini, I might change the key caps. I haven't tried the POM caps on the Noppoo, but I dislike Cherry's POM caps because I find them too slippery and the printing too easily felt.

Yeah the keys on the chocmini even being a better quality then other mechanical keyboards out there; feel to slippery and weird. Also the front print faded away really fast. They're not broken  just not happy with them

I guess it depends on what way you are not happy with them, what is it that you dislike about them? Maybe there is a mod that will do something to improve it, or maybe you are better off selling them and getting something closer to what you want.

If it's only the keycaps, maybe get new keycaps?  :p

I think what he means is that you can sell the keycaps to someone who wants them (and they will profit by having a set of keycaps. You can then buy keycaps yourself, and profit thereby, having a keycap set you like.
