Noppoo Choc Mini, Looking for keycaps need Help :))
« on: Sat, 09 February 2013, 13:52:58 »
So i got my Noppoo Choc mini earlier this month and would like to get some new key caps, i am currently looking at these http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=139 but will probably stick it out till the http://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/183rbt/photos_ducky_dyesublimated_pbt_keycaps/ become availible. But i am concerned that if buy a set the Space Bar will be the wrong size, comparing my Noppoo to my corsair K90's, will this be the case? would like some input from other Noppoo Mini owners or people who know alot more than me. Many Thanks.

Noppoo Choc mini uses a unique size spacebar. Finding an aftermarket replacement for it is basically impossible. Also most sets only come with 1.25 key for bottom row, and Choc uses 1.5 and 1. If you want to replace the keys you are best off to peice something together of Cherry doubleshots.

Something like a G81-7000 would be one of most compatible you can get to start with. You would still need a few other cap from another source though.

No not the space bar, it's a 6unit on Cherry and is too long. But many of the other keys are a match like the shorter right shift, and the 1x bottom row keys you will need and of course pretty much the whole rest of it. The only thing you would still need that 7000 dosen't give you that can be had is the 1.5 ctrl/alt and a flat caps lock.
