I would be down for one of these but how much is it? That can't be the real price.Not more than RMB 850
It's 500RMB for the pcb, case bottom and RGB remote. Then another 180RMB for the case top (for the thick version) and another 150RMB for the plate.
That's 830RMB or around 134USD plus 10% tao bao agent fees plus maybe 30USD for delivery. All in all around 177USD delivered, less for the thinner case tops or no plate. Very good price for a custom! Similar layouts as the lightsaver.
Edit: add 20RMB or 3.3USD for case feet.

Hmm I am quite tempted by this. Anyone want to set up a mini-gb to lower the proxy costs? :pI possibly would
What would be the best site to proxy this. I deffinetly want to jump on this before they are goneYoybuy or TaoBaoFocus are good

Anyone have any experience with the Red Scarf PCBs and compatible firmware and GUI key programming?
To add on something, according to the description:RMB ? Very interested if it supports ISO layout .
- 20 PCB for sale
- 31 RGB LEDs added on the bottom of the PCB which can be controlled from both the keyboard or using the remote, thus the image at the OP
- 4 LED modes, 3 types of length, 3 types of breathing patterns and increased in intensity as you type
- Supports ISO layout
PCB+ RGB controller = 250 RMB

Just order the most expensive option. It gives you a complete set minus stabs and switches, if I am not mistaken (read quickly yesterday so reeling this off the top of my head.) Not as if it's so easy / convenient to order the other parts by yourself. If I were buying that's what I would do too, even though I have no difficulty reading.
Never give people access to your personal account. If you are not willing/ too afraid to add the products yourself, then go without. On my part, I am generally quite willing to help people (and have helped many geekhackers with Taobao searches), but something like this I will also decline and I would advise everyone not to enter Bromono's account too. If there's anything wrong with that account in future it'll be very awkward.
For those of you looking to buy one of these for yourself, here are the parts you will need for a complete build:http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=2013.1.1998246701.2.kVhvnJ&scm=1007.10152.2215.i43280250305&id=43228379649&pvid=8aaf49f7-fb6b-4fbe-8c47-b033e6e3d14c

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.3.w4002-3817085419.77.YRhsVl&id=43280250305
-The 500 RMB option includes the bottom case, PCB, and remote.
-I highly recommend opting for the higher priced option because it will be a pain finding a case to fit the PCB from other sources (unless you intend on building your own acrylic case).

-Here is the plate, which is semi-optional. I say semi-optional because the plate does not seem to support solder-less switch swapping. Some of you might prefer to go plate-less for maximum customizability.
Optional Items:
Stickers (available from many sources)
Lube (Krytox recommended, available from many sources)
LEDs (2x3x4 size, the NuclearSandwich GB has a couple interesting colors available; the more common colors are available almost anywhere - eBay, AliExpress, etc.)
Custom Springs (Sprit GB highly recommended)
For TaoBao agent, I have used TaoBaoFocus before and had no issues with them. I've also heard many good things about YoyBuy. Just plug in the links I listed above into their searches and add them to cart with the options you'd like.
Hope this helps!

Yeah I am very close to ordering it. I believe you have the right links, not sygaldry.

The thinnest case top uses counter sink screws from the top so screws are exposed whereas the thicker versions screw from the bottom so screws are not visible.

I am excited to! This will be my first time building a complete keyboard. I have been eye balling this layout since I have seen it on the LZ boards. I am torn between vintage blacks or ergo clears though. I have vintage blacks on my poker and love them. But heard so many great things of ergo clears.
Is the topcase strictly speaking 'necessary'? Looks like it isn't providing any additional support to the switches or structural support to the case, just is a top layer for the case which allows for countersunk screws, etc. Makes me wonder if you couldn't just use a nut.
Doesn't look necessary. There are screws that hold own the PCB. Only reason you would need the top was if you wanted it to look a little better. Otherwise, just having the bottom case on would look akin to a low profile poker case.

Hope for a GH GB of thosesame here, too lazy to order it all separately from taobao and also having a GH saves shipping for everyone.
Wish we could have cool keyboards like this made and sold as a community.does no-one remember the skeldon? Other than the teensy, everything was designed here on GH by GHers. The case was even made in America! I guess everyone else was busy buying the LZGH instead :/
Thanks for the answer . Definitely ordering one , looking forward for the manual , in the meantime , can you give us an idea about the possibility of the PCB .So I prepared my order on taobaofocus for this :all the soldering job (besides switches ) on the PCB,Manual publish later.

I hate to sound stupid but how much is 550.00 ¥ to dollars or gbp?88.04 USD and 56.98 GBP , you can google it " 550.00Y to USD or GBP"
I did that but it just seemed hella cheap. I don't know how the fk to work TaoBao though. I'll have a word with JD or someone tonight. Thanks for the help.pm me if you need infos I ordered through a proxy and it landed safely in France yesterday (took about 6 weeks to get it there).

I got hold on a chinese manual, I'll try to make a comprehensive english manual soon.Received today it looks great, anyone figured how to program it ?
I am going to need to program it as well. Have you got any info on this?
I'm interested in getting the RS96 kit but I live in eastern U.S., how would I go about getting one of these from Taobao. I only know English as well so that is a huge setback for me.
Sorry to necro thread but I see this board is on MD now, I'm concerned it has alu plate, does the plate flex? I tried a LZRV with an alu plate and I thought it was very unsturdy and it flexed, so I switched tot steel, I'm concerned this board is like that because it has an alu plate. Anyone have this board and can tell me? Is it as sturdy (that is it does not flex when you type) as OEM boards with steel plates?

Anyone have this board and can tell me? Is it as sturdy (that is it does not flex when you type) as OEM boards with steel plates?
I'm not sure about the LZRV, but if it's like the LZGH this should be a lot stiffer, even with alu plate. The reason is that the PCB bolts directly to the bottom case, so the bottom part of the case acts like a "plate" underneath it. The upper plate being aluminium really just acts to stabilize the switches with respect to eachother. For keyboards that hang from the plate, plate material makes a big dufference (this is why I had a one-off steel plate made for my skeldon), but I bet you could run this without a plate at all and it'd be good. I tried my lightsaver that way when I was rebuilding it once and it was just fine.
With a PCB sandwitched between two plates it should be quite stiff. Not sure if the rest of the build is to your liking, but that aspect should be ok. Most steel plate OEM boards the pcb hands from the plate also, so this is a different construction from that even.
Now I will yield to anyone who has firsthand experience with the board, but that's how it should shake out in principle. If you want a good KB like this with a steel plate, why not get a duck lightsaver? it's the same layout, similar construction (PCB bolts to case) and has a stainless steel plate already.
