Due to the recent attention to Choc Mini's sold via the classifieds I wanted to let you know that this board is one of the better boards from Noppoo apparently. Aside from ~, Esc, and Caps the legends are pretty damned evenly colored. There is no physical wear on the case/keycaps. Shipping this thing again may cause a little wear on the front (where the cable comes through) due to the 2 twist-ties holding the cable. I definitely appreciate the sound/feel of this board more than my Filco, but again the layout trumps that choice for me.
