I do have a remaining PCB from when I ordered from JLCPCB [Rhymestone] which I can turn into a Macropad/Numpad

Any reason you do not want a keyboard produced in china?

I would just make a separate macropad myself with a knob.
​
Planning on making a 5KNOB, macropad/volume center for my pc, in the upcoming days.

Sadly these switches become scratchy very quickly, as if you put a m^(3) of sand inside a normal switch.

In the EU shipping is also quite fast [especially with the combined shipping] [depending on the items, its either long or short trough customs]

From what I can find is that TAOBAO has similar prices to aliexpress [at least if you are in the EU, and add shipping+VAT cost to the Taobao price]

That is common with dropshippers, they use a PRESET website/look.
Often these presets allow you to directly grab all data from aliexpress trough a script including pictures/reviews
​
Though in this case after triple checking the "store" did change the description, and does not look to use stolen reviews from before the site creation date

That sounds about right. Like someone is into the keep-space, and wants a rare set. with someone not even knowing the difference between cherry and OEM keycaps. buying it for them, and falling for the Clone-selller's scam

Did a quick check and the only one listed selling said "official" iceberg set
is mechsandco
https://mechsandco.com/collections/keycaps/products/gb-gmk-iceberg
It is not a XDA version, which would be the only thing differentiating the 2.
since its a known clone set, that sells for less than 16-22$ on aliexpress. it baffles me that they think they can get away with it.
Especially with the Keeb's space being quite familiar with sites like aliexpress.
​
Who do they think they are gonna fool, the veterans? new buyers, or people looking for a certain set?

I think they are nothing more than a glorified dropshipper trying to get into the KB space.
​
My country is on their "do not ship list", which shows this clearly, as nearly anyone in the EU gets the ID/marker that its from aliexpress [when ordering from aliexpress]. which would expose their scam [99% of all my orders with local tracking had this identifier]

Bloody hell, Justby checking that Iceberg keycap set, even if its a clone is worth at most 20$ [its currently on sale on aliexpress for less than 16$ [after all discounts]]

Don't live in the US, so that is quite a bit out of the way for me.

Checked with the price, and 445$ for a fully decked out Dactyl, is quite a lot.

Would love to test one out like this, since there are not many Dactyl with full-size key layout [F-keys]

The name for the GB/GBA's color is Atomic Purple.
Maybe make a similar sounding name?
​
maybe something like Quantum Purple

From what I can see it has more of a blue purplish hue to it, instead of a FULL rainbow.
​
Similar to those old transparent purplish cases. [GBA]

If you know how to solder you could even make your own keyboard/macropad.
its really easy.
just get a broken mech-board that you can gut for parts. [you can get em really really cheap]
and get a arduino.
{if you have access to a 3d printer, print a case}
then handwire your macropad
at most you will have spend 10$ in total [of which half goes to the arduino]
