RedScarf III (USA ONLY!)

[SpAmRaY]

I think I need one of these.

Only if it was like this and at RedScarf's price..

Need? Doubt it lol. But what a hell of a deal this is.

The RSII can do that exact layout and it's available for an even lower price than the RSIII

I'm almost certain the RSIII can do something similar too (but it has the extra function row)

The PCB on both the RSII and RSIII are designed to be able to be cut and soldered to the other side for the left hand numpad

Does it work with the same case and plate? My friend decided that he didn't need a second keyboard (his loss) but if I can get the numpad on the left I'll get one for myself as a semi-end game MX keyboard

[Soulpyre]

Silly question as I am not too familair with the Redscarf series. The board is USB wired correct? And the only wireless feature is the remote to control lighting effects? Thanks

Can you link where you are buying them from? I saw the link earlier but can't find it now.

Thanks, and as you can obviously tell I didn't try very hard to find it

My guess is you'd have to modify the case or get the acryllic portion of the case remade.

But there is also the possibility that the numpad has pads to take a USB connector for you to swap the connector over.

I'm not sure though.

You might be able to just flip it if the port is in the center.

Just to clarify, are all the layouts shown in the mockup (with the various bottom rows) compatible with the plate? It looks like it would accommodate quite a few layouts but I can't quite tell from just the picture. Also, is there a picture showing the upper bezel colors, specifically the difference between silver and grey? Thanks for putting this together btw!

[intelli78]

Damn son. Amazing value for what you're getting. But I think I have to pass in favor of the aluminum 1800 that's coming up.

[digi]

are there any pics to compare the 5mm & 8mm bezel by chance?

In great finds in the original thread there are taobao links that have photos.

Same here. Makes me sad. Stupid school books =( lol

[sethk_]

I want one, but can't afford it, and you can't buy them in singles from taobao

[SL89]

maybe we can get enough people to do a second round thru Ivan, or perhaps someone else more versed in taobao.

i was awaiting the Red Scarf II, then get so hyped for the III.

I just figured that out by trying 1, then 2, but I don't know what the difference in the three options are.

PM me or find me on #geekhack and maybe we can figure something out, i dont wanna hijack Ivan's thread.

[Bromono]

I would have ordered from here but I got inpatient and just went to tabao o.o

[digi]

Too good to pass up, joined! Thanks Ivan

[IvanIvanovich]

LAST CALL! I will be submitting our group order tomorrow.

[sethk_]

I want one, and if I withdraw it from my bank, I will have 420$, but I also don't want to withdraw from my bank:(

[DelKey]

Just paid the invoice. So psyched! Thanks for the opportunity and your continuing efforts to bring us cool stuff!

[byker]

Ordered. Thanks Ivan 

[Glod]

Ivan I added my order, hope I got in time, I've been traveling and forgot to add my order

[sethk_]

Added my order!

[limitz]

Ordering, and would like to add assembly service as well.

[quaxar]

Paid!, Gonna use the extra plates for my 2 extra lightsaver v2 pcbs, this is great, thanks!

Now I have to promise myself, no more purchases for the next 3 months

1) Are all bottom row layout options supported with the plate?
2) Where is everyone getting their switches & cherry stabs from? Does this plate support plate-mounted stabs or pcb-mounted?

Thanks

[IvanIvanovich]

Plate seems to be designed to be 'universal' to this board, supporting any layout the PCB does. I'm 99% sure you'll want PCB mount stab in either case, plate doesn't look like it would support plate stabs properly.

All orders that were submitted as of this morning have been invoiced and my totals sent off to the Chinese organizers. Please pay your invoices ASAP to ensure I have all the funds ready to pay.

As far as switch, stab and assembly... I will address that a bit later once the stuff is on it's way. I may or may not offer that. I think it's best for me to wait to make sure I can commit to building X boards up.

Thanks again Ivan, sounds good regarding the assembly and extra parts. No harm in waiting to get a clearer picture.

[Synjin]

Invoice Paid. Sorry for being late since I was out for the whole day today and I didn't notice that this GB was happening up until when I woke up this morning

[Glod]

Paid, thanks Ivan!

[taylordcraig]

Have to miss this one. :<
Crying everywhere.

[radio_killah]

On the fence on this one.. I'm not sure if I should bite on this or just wait until we do another Lightsaver GB this spring... Any reasons why this might be better besides being cheaper?

I almost had to miss it as well if I wanted to get Miami and another set, but I really like this board, so I had to sell some stuff

[taylordcraig]

It's just different.
I want it just to have both. I like the RGB LED and acrylic case on this, just a little something different.
I'll be looking to buy a kit, assembled or unassembled, so if you change your mind you can flip it to me in 2-6 weeks, or whenever you receive it.
I'm just broke right now and waiting on my Raindrop R2 to sell.

I don't know anything about the next Lightsaver GB but comparing this to Lightsaver v2 two things come to mind - 1) RS3 supports split backspace (a la HHKB) where LSv2 does not.  2) RS3 has a flat case with feet for elevation while the LSv2's case has a built-in 11 degree incline which is perfect for some and overly steep for others.
