Title: NOOB: Proxy service in UK for Taobao re: Red Scarf III / RS96 / ZZ96?
Post by: sinetwo on Sat, 20 August 2016, 06:59:43

Hi all,

I'm awaiting my first mechanical keyboard but I've recently seen the Red Scarf III (ala Lightsaver) and this is definitely the one I want. However the GBs have finished and the only place I can seem to find one is on Taobao.

Sorry if this comes across as a common post (I have done A LOT of searching), but could someone please advise me on a good UK proxy for Taobao, and what I would need to order to complete a Red Scarf III keyboard? I've not done a mech before, but would love to pop my cherry on this bad boy.

Bear in mind that I am a beginner and would prefer as much KIT as possible :) I.e. Case, plate, pcb, controller etc. I assume switches/caps/stabilisers will need to be ordered separately.

Here's a few links I found on Taobao, but I don't know what is included in them or if anyone has had experience buying this "kit" from taobao?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and apologies in advance if this is not the correct place to be posting this.
