Hey :)
I search a shop where i can buy many pieces of Cherry MX keys and Caps.
I need from both 600 pieces.
Any good sellers for this bulk order?
-
You should probably be more specific in what switches and what caps you want.
-
Blank black keycap .
Cherry mx blue.
-
Key cap profile and material? Also keyboard size and layout matter as well.
Also do you have to have genuine cherry switches or just mx compatible?
-
Switch: mx1a-e1nw
Keycaps: black blank and cheap as possible, layout like the esc key

Still need to know what key cap profile you want and the layout of the board you are outfitting. Your best bet for blank black is probably going through signature plastics.
For the switches trrc was selling a mass amount of blues. Are you wanting 600 switches? Or enough for 600 keyboards?
-
At the moment 600 keys.
Layout: dcs or dsa R3

Well DSA and DCS are signature plastics products so you would have to get the caps from them.
For switches you could try contacting this guy http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=48343.msg1035640#msg1035640

Dsc and dsa are only examples.
The only thing that must match is that the keys have a 1x1 size and fit on the keys and cheap as possible.

You may be able to get both from GMK (http://www.gmk-electronic-design.de/en). With that volume and all single key size blank the price should be pretty decent. The only question is what they may have available for switch inventory. It seems they generally only use clear and black on their own production boards.
-
Mx black keys also ok.
Do You have a link or mail for order request?
-
Also, if blacks are fine and you wouldn't mind removing them off of PCB... you could buy 6 of those PCB with switch from my groupbuy (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=60789.0) which has a very good price and only leave you to buy the keycap... depending on prices if that is better.

Em and how fast can you ship the board to Germany?
So I can also buy a g81-3000 keyboard in Germany for 30€.
So each key price is 30€/105 keys ~ 0,30€ but I have to desolder it.
Is there no way to order it cheaper and so that I don't have to desolder it?
-
G81 don't have MX so that wouldn't be a wise choice. I didn't guess you were in Germany. In that case it would be wiser for you to contact to GMK directly since they are also in Germany.
