Hey guys,
I'm new here. Tried to research this keyboard over the past 24 hours but it seems to be a phantom. The only thing I was able to find was a review in Vietnamese, which I could roughly translate with Google translate, the information I get out of it is just not really... well, informative :D.
Now I was wondering, does by chance any of you guys use this keyboard, or has seen a review on it.
It looks nice to me, and the price seems fair. But since there are so many threads around with people complaining about the Choc Mini I wanted to try to get a little bit more info on this board.
Also, since I'm already here, can you guys tell me if there is a good possibility to get custom PBT key-caps, like on wasdkeyboards.com the costumization possibilities are AWESOME, you just can't choose between ABS and PBT :(
Thanks for reading and appreciate your help very much.
Oliver

Write it "noppoo" and try again. ;)

Most vendors in the marketplace sell key caps, wasdkeyboard caps are ABS not pbt afaik

@ Master: and what am I exactly supposed to find? Another thread where people just post how they don't know anything about that keyboard? Enlighten me please.
@Mauri: I know a lot of vendors on the net, what I'm looking for is one LIKE wasdkeyboard, that hast all the options you have there BUT offers PBT keycaps, wasd only offers ABS.

Mid 87 and not Mini.. Fail, forget it..

I remember looking for reviews on it recently too. Didn't find much, but there are reviews here and there, like on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Noppoo-Mechanical-Keyboard-switches-Character/product-reviews/B00A3PPJKS/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1
Noppoo doesn't have stock PBT caps on that model as far as I know.
For stock PBT at similar price range and TKL size, I would go with Keycool 87:

(White comes with PBT caps)
Or a Leopold FC700R (thick PBT) if you have access to it--but that will be more expensive.

I guess you're meaning the custom key cap thingy that lets you choose every cap individually. In that aspect wasdkeyboards, as far as I know is the only one.
You didn't think this would be easy did you : D

No custom lasering solution for PBT yet. WASD can't figure out a supplier. Asian board makers have lots with pre-installed PBTs... and then there's dyesub groupbuys here but you won't get those sets overnight.

You're not going to find WASD-level customization. They're pretty unique in that regard.
