Noppoo EC108-Pro

[rjradical]

It is on mass drop. You can get either 35g or 45 gram switches. I don't know the quality of this board as I have never owned one.

Wish they had the black one.

Buy it and furnish it with BRAND New GMK's, then it will be a worthy keyboard to own  .

35G switches huh.  Maybe I'm wrong but not to many boards floating around with that light of switches.

There have been some people that asked about 35g switches but you can also get 45g.

If they had offered a TKL version, they would've had some of my money.  But looks like a great keyboard.  Even in that lummocks-size.

You can get it for the same price on BangGood and not have to wait a month.

So does anyone know if the stems are compatible with Topre boards?

Fitment is poor.

I dig the look of this board. Wish it was due sub's.

[Sniping]

Yeah, same. But then again, that would be asking too much for stock keycaps. I'm just glad that they used keycaps that don't wear off over time.

Okay, this is interesting. From one of the comments on MassDrop:

According to a seller on Alixpress, this keyboard has some more features worth mentioning (pasted below). It seems like the spacebar is indeed heavier, and all keycaps including spacebar are PBT.

Apparently the key travel can also be adjusted, and the board is fully programmable

Now that I think about it, adjusting the capacitance level at which the switches activate would affect the key travel. That's definitely intriguing.

I'd be interested in buying this simply to test out a 35g board.  I actually prefer light switches, for finger fatigue reasons.

can you use normal spacebars with this?

im really tempted to get this and i don't know why other than the price and trying out adjustable topre clones. please someone tell me why i shouldn't buy this. i also wish this was in black, putting dolch on this would be fantastic i bet.

I don't get why changing the actuation point is that much different or such a big deal. I know for my Final Fantasy Topre the keys actuate at the top(not sure if this is standard for every topre) meaning its pointless for me to go any lower, yet i can still do it if i feel like it, and will not affect the feeling(my opinion).

The reason not to get it would be not having leds(like any other topre), money towards a normal topre(meaning made in japan, excluding type heaven), being one of the first people to get this keyboard(meaning it could be good or bad), you don't get a 55g option, and I have heard rumors of some deskauthority people saying this keyboard feels bad compared to a normal topre.

The reason to get this it is relatively cheap topre, mx compatible, and a possible donor of sliders to a future realforce.

There's still a couple of LEDs like on the Realforce and FC660C.

The Novatouch, Leopold FC660C, and Type Heaven are made in China, so there's several keyboards on that list now. I've been using this keyboard for the last two weeks and it's not shabby at all. I would even say that it's better than the Novatouch and Type Heaven.

In the massdrop discussion this was linked http://bbs.zol.com.cn/quanzi/d14_1728.html

according to that thread all keys are programmable as well as using macros and mouse keys and it speaks of a future RGB version with backlight control as well.

and a thread at DT from a while ago http://deskthority.net/product-news-f44/noppoo-tease-a-very-familiar-capacitive-switch-design-t6741.html

and here is a good write up by a sniping -> https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=68560.0

just found your review...thanks for the writeup

[DuckMyDucky]

Has anyone ordered from chinese tmall? I found it there for less than 500 china cash, just short of 80 bucks.

sounds a bit too cheap tbh, maybe I'm missing something? There seems to be no shortage of agents willing to buy and ship internationally for u.
