So I recently just sold my black widow and I'm currently eyeballing these 2. They're basically the same price so I'm going to need some feedback on build quality.

First up is a KBC poker http://cgi.ebay.com/KBC-Poker-40-Mechanical-Gaming-keyboard-Cherry-BROWN-/300569115003?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item45fb50b97b
Oh wow they just sold 2 in like 30 minutes lol.

And next is a noppoo choc brown switch.

Any feedback would be great and I kind of need it quick haha.

I wonder if he is going to get a SNAD on paypal.
PBT Pokers has not shipped yet, the ones available are ABS type with white on black printed keycaps

SNAD - Significantly Not As Describe. Basically, grounds for refund etc.
A lot of TaoBao sellers list this picture for the poker instead of the now available one which is in ABS

I have both and I prefer Poker over Noppoo due to the layout. Took me a while to get used to the layout on the Noppoo.

I think the Filco and Leopold tenkeyless keyboards are the safest bets. They're most neutral in appearance and come in most of the switches. The KBC Poker layout really appeals to a certain niche which I don't think you fit into (no offense). With that said, if you must choose between the two, I would go with the Noppoo Choc Mini. At least it's plate-mounted

I just got the noppoo and so far I really like it. The keyboard felt a little weird at first but now it feels just right.

I would think the layout of the noppoo would be easier to use than the kbc. The profile on the kbc does look a lot sleeker. I would go for the noppoo. I really like the feel of the keys and the way it feels.

get the poker, but just be careful I dislike knowing non platemounted switches allow all the dirt go all the way down so easily xD

If you're interested to try different cherry switches get the Poker. Super easy to swap springs and stems on those with no soldering.
