I have an extensively used black noppoo choc mini (it's pretty old, it's not the one just released last year) and although I really like the thick POM keycaps, the board feels cheap compared to my Poker 2. The printing on the keys is really faded and very difficult to see even on keys that haven't been used much or at all. The case flexes pretty easily if you push on it a bit. I think it's just because I don't really like Costar stabilizer, but who knows. I've never used a Keycool though.
