Hi!
I'm planning to buy my first mechanical keyboard, and the one I have in mind is Noppoo Choc Mini with brown switches. It costs only about 100 $ from Ebay (including shipping), which I think is a really good price.
However, I'm not completely sure yet. I'm going to use it for programming and gaming. I think I will like that it's so small, and therefore will the mouse be much closer to the letter keys. And it looks pretty neat with the arrow keys much closer to the letters too. But do you think its compact layout will be a problem when programming? When I have looked on pictures of the keyboard layout it didn't seem to be a problem. But yeah, some input would be awesome.
