Nice review. I ordered a black one with black switches last week, mainly to use as a backpackable gaming keyboard (hopefully is shows up in the next week or so). The main attraction I had to this board over the Noppoo was the detachable cable. The Race has a removable cable as well I realize, but I like the fact the the Keycool mini has the connection underneath with the cable crimped, to prevent accidental unplugging. By your comments about the USB channel compressing the cable, it sounds like it will meet my needs nicely.

fossala was asking about "cheap" feeling of the board. I'm not expecting too much for the price, so I figure plactikoting the case may add a bit of ruggedness to it.

Have you taken off the spacebar to see what it's compatible with? It looks like it's Filco length, just curious if the mount points line up.
