Today is received 5 Tipro Boards.
The 4x8 Moduls come with glued paper on the caps
Why glueing? You put the transparent cover over it
Anyway the boards are in good condition and the color is (dark) grey not black.
The white 128 comes without "G" cap but i got it for 1€ plus shipping.
There are distinct traces of using it...

Looks nice! The small pads look really good. I ordered one too, so I'm looking forward to receiving it.

I have received mine today:
No cables and 1 missing clear keytop per unit. The "new" version keycaps are used on the modules, but still the old keycap version is completely compatible. Beside thees little problems the modules are working flawless
Btw. does someone know where I get the Tipro joiners without paying 15$ per set ? The pos websites that Google is throwing out are just ripoffs
The middle unit is using the keytops that kbdfr gave me

Got mine yesterday, here too one clear keytop missing.
I don't like the "new version" keycaps, but must admit they are functionally better than the "old" ones. Curved top and more room for the legends.
As for the joiners, I could sell you one for 5€ or trade it for a single Cherry doubleshot dark beige "Pause/Untbr" keycap.

By the way,

don't complain there are no cables, just be glad the unit has a controller at all
It was not to be taken for granted. Quote from the Tipro website:
"In MID product range modules with 32 keys can not accommodate controller due to lack of space. They can be used only as add-on modules."
When pointing to the eBay sale, I wrote:

Consider this to be my report.
