Fom the description on eBay it seems like these are Cherry MX Black. Odd choice if you're trying to do a little import business.

UPDATE: Yup, heard back from the seller, Cherry Blacks.

Hello geekhack!! (firstpost)

I've been a lurker for...oh, 2.5 months now? Ever since the Filcos went out of stock! I've been looking to get the noppoo for the last week, and then I found this guy yesterday.

I've been in constant email communication with him since yesterday. He seems like a very reasonable guy. I even showed him this thread and he had told me (what I already knew, I have family living in Hong Kong) that prices and post are more expensive in Hong Kong than mainland China.

Anywho, I asked the guy to lower his prices...and he DID! He's dropped the Blue and Black board to 89, and the Brown stays at 99. He told me this is just enough for him to make his money back and then make a bit of a profit. He's got the lower price for just this first run, so he can build up his positive reviews.

It seems to me this guy is legit. He even dropped the prices of 2 of the boards when he saw the power that is geekhack. Hopefully you guys who are looking to get a Choc Mini grab it from this guy instead! An extra $10 bucks for some people, the same price for most sounds fair, right? :p Plus it's eBay, so if anything goes wrong, their gestapo will go looking for him.

I was really hoping you'd be the one to comment on my first post :p

I thought it wouldn't hurt. From the first few emails we sent back and forth he seemed like a legitimate guy. He loves the keyboard and noticed it's not sold international. Wants to bring it to the world. Sounds like the geekhack kinda guy, if I'm not mistaken haha.

Anywho, I'll be picking either the blue or brown up this sat once I get paid!

So this seller thinks the whole World is confined within the US of A ?

Me thinks seller is testing the waters of the retail market for sharks and piranhas, to see if there's worthwhile profit. Basically, seller is a less complicated Purchase Agent, Mr Lau. I'm not condoning the sellers intentions, it can only be good if keyboards are becoming readily available without the necessity to navigate the maze to purchase.

Thank you!

I thought his shipping was 'international' not only US. My apologies.

Either way, he seems like he can be trusted. Whether testing the waters or just trying to make an extra buck, if he does a good job I don't mind!

Thanks .XL for getting the seller to lower his price! I've been thinking about buying a Noppoo with Cherry MX Blues for a while now, and thanks to being able to use eBay instead of a buying agent and Taobao, I finally took the plunge!

I was under the impression that using Obook to purchase a Noppoo Choc Mini from Taobao could actually total more than the price of this eBay seller ($114 after shipping), depending on what type of shipping you could use (I saw price ranges varying from $109-120something).

However, speakeasy mentioned another purchasing agent that you could use for a cheaper price in this post.

Obook quoted $115 for Browns and $95 for Blues shipped from China to Chicago (these are prices including shipping).  I've heard cheaper, but I haven't seen it much higher than these prices shipped via China Post/Airmail.  If you're going EMS or DHL, expect to pay about $20 more for either option.

Edit: I would say that if the ebay seller is shipping via DHL or EMS, you got yourself a good deal here.

I'm not sure what shipping method he uses, but with his turnaround time included, shipping is estimated at 2 weeks. So not bad! Not the 16 hour DHL delivery sixty received maybe a month ago, but 2 weeks isn't bad vs. the average 3-4 weeks at the least I've seen obook taking (via airmail).

Sounds like your standard China Post/Airmail then, which you can get through Obook for significantly cheaper.  ($115 Browns / $95 Blues versus $130 / $120 respectively)

I asked the seller about shipping outside the US and there seems to be no problem.
For example shipping to Poland is $35.
However, $124 shipped seems a bit much. I have to check Obook too.

I saw they were going fast this morning. I almost pulled the trigger, but decided they're not that different from my minitouch's, although the nkey might be nice I have n52tes for that function.  I don't think a blue cherry board will ever be better than blue alps.

The 0 feedback from another country also scares me.  I've bought from 0 feedback buyers before and had to wait a month for my paypal payment to clear, even though the guy was perfectly honorable and ultimately did send me the item.

but, I have been playing around with the 2Shot caps and it has made them feel some what different.
Wish I had done the swap with my Filco, unless there is something different between the two that I have not worked out as yet.

Just figured I'd post an update about this seller. I bought a Noppoo Choc Mini from the seller on 2/9 and sent payment on the same day. According to my tracking info via USPS, foreign acceptance of the package in Hong Kong was on 2/15 and it arrived and was processed in Tampa, FL (which is about a hour away from me) this morning, so I should be receiving it tomorrow.

Also would like to note that the seller speaks English well and was very good with communicating during the process of receiving the payment and shipping the keyboard.

So long story short, the shipping method is much faster than the description in the eBay listing.

That's good to hear! I had an email correspondence with him when they sold out, he's definitely a good, honest guy. Can't wait for him to post the poopoos again so I can snag one ;)

When you track your package through USPS, it usually tells you which type of shipping was used.  Can you check to see the type?  (I.e. Foreign Post, EMS, etc.)  I'm under the assumption now that he probably uses EMS instead of China Post.

He's in Hong Kong, so there's a good chance he used DHL or UPS.

Scratch that on the expected delivery tomorrow, my girlfriend just texted me to let me know that it was delivered this morning!

On the USPS tracking it lists the class as "Express Mail International."

edit:
He used "Hong Kong Speedpost", whose website has an EMS image on it. So that combined with the fast shipping time leads me to believe it was EMS.

Yup, that's definitely EMS (Express Mail Service).  As I mentioned earlier, ordering through Taobao/Obook, with EMS delivery service, Noppos with Browns would be around $130-140 and Blues around $115-$125.

Conclusion -- For virtually the same price (possibly cheaper), you get better communication (from the testimonials in this thread), less work for the buyer (just click ebay link and buy versus emailing Taobao, etc.), and a more secured transaction through eBay.  Only reason to go with Taobao at this point is, if the user is out of stock and if you prefer cheaper shipping and don't mind waiting for an additional 2-3 weeks.

Let's hope this guy gets some more Noppoos, so the rest of the community can jump on this without fear of going through independent Taobao agents.

One last thing I'd like to throw out there, is that the last message I received from the seller this morning was "Please let me know if you have any other keyboard if you interest and leave the comment to me if you have any at anytime." Not the greatest English in that message, but it seems like this guy is willing to make more keyboards available if there is an interest!

I am more interested in the newly listed PLU ML-87, although the "ML" in the product name may be misleading as it is stated they have MX ckicky/Blues switches, then again the pic shows the arrow keys have all MX Blacks. I am totally confused.
Often outspoken, please forgive any cause for offense.
Thank you all in GH for reading.

They come with the mainstream Cherry switches.  You can get them in Blues, Blacks and/or Browns.  The box has a checkbox marked with Reds also, but I don't think that option is available (yet?).

I am in contact with the seller about more boards. He had asked me to assist him on the US end with setting up orders. Let me know what kind of keyboards you guys are interested in. PM me, or email (kdemet36@gmail.com; preferable, and include your name on here) with what keyboards you'd like to see.  I'll do what I can to get a price quote for you and ask him to get them up on eBay.

I already asked him, he didn't seem too interested. Asked me to take care of the communications part for him.
