Two questions: - Do anyone have a tip on where to best buy the keycaps for this (extra points for german qwertz)?
- Is there a preset for keyboard-layout-editor somewhere? -> found it here: https://www.massdrop.com/talk/732/programming-the-red-scarf-keyboards

MarMunYour only option to purchase the GMK carbon keycaps is through /r/mechmarket

MarMungmk carbon is hard to find on mechmarket and when/if you do find it it's likely to be pretty expensive. Your best bet would be to find a tai-hao clone or something similar.

SakeJamsMy current state of affairs is as follows:
- make custom keycap layout at keyboard-layout-editor.com: - import at maxkeyboard.com and let them print / ship to me the keycaps
Do we think this will work?
My current layout (work in progress / german key layout):

MarMunThat could probably work but I'm not sure if maxkeyboard does the 1.75u right shift :/

SakeJamsGood call. I've contacted MaxKeyboard to verify if they are able to print that layout.

DillonHightowerYep. Idea is to have a custom layout printed at maxkeyboard.com. (still awaiting support reply regarding 1.75U shift, though).

SakeJamsThx for mentioning Tai Hao. I found a key set at their shop and consider now to directly order it from Taiwan:
35 € for key set 1 € for 1.75U shift 11 € for shipping

MarMun

Nov 24, 2017

MarMunOk. Did it. "only" 32 € for everything (including shipping). You have to start somewhere, right?

MarMunHiya, I'm also thinking about ordering a set from Tai Hao - which one did you go for in the end? Thanks for letting me know

MarMunsorry, another question. It seems that (at least some of the) 104 key sets from tai hao include a 1.75U shift. E.g.: https://shop.tai-hao.com/products/abs-104-c01bk302

zylinderhutI'm sure ;-)
The set I've ordered has not 1.75 shift. I ordered the shift separately (also from Tai-Hao). I've also given up on the german layout as it rules out to many options for my taste. I have a colleague who use english, romanian and spanish layout. If she can do three, I can do two (EN & GER)... Let me know which one you order in the end :-)
