Is the delete key in the top right? If so, where did you buy it from? The choc mini I bought while in the US has the delete key above the right arrow key, only the ones I picked up in China have it in the top right  Would like to get one with the same layout for work so I can stop having to finger memorize two different positions.Edit: I can grammar | ||

Got the browns because it was the middle ground (or that's what i got from what people said). | ||

It would just be two lines of script for what you need (two keys switching places). You can fiddle with the script at home, compile it into an .exe, so it does not need to have AutoHotKey installed at work, and then just put that into the Startup program folder on the computer with the keyboard with the delete key position you don't like. | ||

Great keyboard and love the light airy touch of red switches... but the left control key is not working. -_- On the Quickfire Rapid it's usually the Left ALT. Coolermaster seems to have a problem on that side of their keyboards for some odd reason. You could use AutoHotKey. It would just be two lines of script for what you need (two keys switching places).

Noppoo choc mini's "switch lock" key doesn't send a signal to the computer, or at least it doesn't with one of the boards I have. I checked on three different computers on two different OS with a variety of software. There's just no signal getting sent to the computer. All switch lock appears to do is something internal to the board which switches the CTRL & CAPSLOCK keys to use the older ibm/sun style layout (which, incidentally, is useless to me because I always have my capslock remapped to ctrl). Remapping doesn't work, because the computer doesn't even know when you hit the button. | ||

I see so many people just throw out "he use black" "he use brown" etc etc. If anyone knew for sure that would be awesome. However I doubt anyone knows. Hi Stephen, Brown.

Maybe once I start messing around with microcontrollers again. The choc mini is surprisingly easy to crack open. | ||

I don't have one, but the leopold gets you better quality keys and a detachable cable for $20 cheaper than the filco. But the leopold does have different stabilisers, so the big keys will feel different to the filcos. Some people don't like the Leopold stabilisers, but if its your first mech keyboard then you probably wont notice. So if you want a tenkeyless then its a good choice. | ||

The noppoo choc mini is sort of a cheaper mechanical. I have a few and they are surprisingly solid, but for just build quality I would prefer a Das. The only reason to buy a noppoo choc mini in my eyes is for the form factor. If you really want that form factor, you have basically no other choices. If you're ok with a 87 tenkeyless instead, then there are better choices. I do like the F-keys being flush against the numbers. Also if you use a noppoo choc mini AND a different keyboard (say at home and work), your finger memory is gonna get all kinds of fucked up. | ||
