Title: So what's going on with the Noppoo Choc Mini?
Post by: Fragil1ty on Thu, 05 February 2015, 15:22:17
I've been using this board for the past couple of years and recently they have been becoming harder and harder to get hold of, I mean, I can't even remember the last time I saw this board in anything other than MX Blacks/Reds.

But I bought a new NCM back in late Decemeber, they went really fast so I was glad that I got one, but I was checking the other day as I was going to buy one as a birthday present for a friend of mine and they're just impossible to get hold of. Hardly any vendors have the keyboard and if they do? It's just in MX Cherry Blacks. (Amazon, Ebay are the same and even qTan doesn't have them at the moment), there is one version of the keyboard on Ebay by a single user, but I'm talking about mass manufacturers and what not.

Is there something going on with Noppoo, are they trying to steer away from the Noppoo Choc Mini, any ideas?

IDK... maybe it's just something with the brown switches? here in the states both the red and black switch versions can still be had on amazon. Ebay is just used ones atm, but I have seen blue switch versions. It's odd... wish I knew more.

I think they may be putting more effort / focus on the newer Nano 75s (which has a nicer layout, IMHO) and their capacitive rubber dome (Topre "clone", EC-108?), but they seem to only be selling in China at the moment.
