    Who wouldn't approve a Noppoo Choc Mini with Browns?

    I think the mech keyboard gods looks at it like car-people look at a smart-car.

    So then how do you feel about Choc Mini VS Poker? Both are dodgy in layout, the Poker more so without dedicated F-keys or arrow keys

    I like the layout if both boards. At the moment I think of the poker as a choc mini with one less row and column. :p

    To me, the Poker has a more standard layout, since it is just an ANSI board with keys missing.
    Whereas the choc mini isn't.

    And ofcourse I prefer the Poker because it's got all the keys you need :D

    That's actually a nice way of putting it!

    I didn't think of it like that actually. Lol.

    I take it you don't regularly use ctrl+arrow keys to navigate text either George?

    I am now used to using the arrow lock, so the bottom right 4 keys are the arrows, and I use them all the time :p

    Just bought This.

    It has some caps that are nice, like "RUB OUT", "LOST" and "RESET" and so on....

    Clever that is

    Instead of adjusting to the fn+arrow/toggling arrow lock, just unadjust to using the right side modifiers!

    They look closer to cherry profile from what I could see.

    I meant what row profile :)

    They all look like they sport a uniform elevation, so who knows how that would fit on a modern keyboard.

    That 4x15 matrix board looks nice. I think I would have liked it better than the Access I had. Looks like it has all top row profile SP doubleshots.
    Good candidate to drop a teensy in and make some nice little prgramamble board. That it is also pcb mount instead of plate is a nice thing too.

    Just thought I'd mention how much I love my CC's. As they are my first I automatically fell for them but the build quality is great.

    Shame I got them just as I fell unemployed as I might have to trade/sell them off. But I'm planning of selling lots of other stuff before it comes to that :)

    What's the attraction of Access boards and such?
