My keys are a veritable yard sale of printing qualities.  The Q and R are boldly printed, with most being nearly unreadable.  I mostly use otaku boards, so this doesn't bother me that much.  The board itself feels great, but with such wildly inconsistent quality on printing, It causes me to question the quality of everything else.  Am I alone?

My Noppoo is everyway the same.
Although the quality is very inconsistent, I still loving it.
There's something good about this keyboard which I cant pin-point despite all it's flaw.

Even my plate was flawed. Link below.

I'm definitely digging the board itself.  The total uglytacularness is part of the charm i suppose.  But i think I do place it just a half a rung above the leopold in how much i like it.

Hmmm... My Noppoo seems to be pretty much perfect (keycap wise). I have also really grown to love the layout. I got it as a gift though so it has black switches, but I really really like the layout and quality, for the price (free, although it was cheap because it was purchased in China!). My only gripe with this board is probably the space bar feeling a lot less solid of a key press compared to all the other keys.

Here are a couple of pics of mine in this thread; they were pretty uniform I think.

the Q key on my Noppoo is also very bold, while the other keys are faint. The printing quality is very inconsistent.

My B key has a pink Fn on it as well, as tho i could hit Fn+B and get...a function key.  It doesn't work either, btw.
