Red Scarf II+ Ver.b Custom Mechanical Keyboard Kit

Jun 22, 2016

Trivia: You can guess that there's more than one version of the Red Scarf II+... But here's a few things you don't know.
0) the originator, 悬壶济世 is on the Chinese EnjoyClick.org website, the Chinese equivalent of GeekHack, and this was only launched last August as a Chinese group buy. And there are FOUR models... (technically 5, but...)
1) Red Scarf II+ "Model F", a layout that's... inspired by an IBM Model F Keyboard (aka the IBM PC XT keyboard, with numpad and 10 F keys on the left) (And even this was available as Winkey and Winkeyless versions...) If you can't quite visualize it...

2) Ver. B -- The RS 78 we have here
3) Ver. C -- The RS 68, the RS 78 minus the F keys to the left
4) Ver. D -- a 77 key, this one is like a 60 key w/ arrow keys and a numpad (but no F-keys). It's weird enough I'll have to show you a photo:

Needless to say, all photos from Enjoyclick. http://www.enjoyclick.org/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=10324 Without logging in you can't see the pictures though. And it'd obviously be in Chinese. 5) I searched for the Model F and Ver. D and neither is available on Taobao, it may no longer be available "ever again".
