Topre spacebars back in stock on EK
« on: Wed, 09 April 2014, 07:44:57 »
Just so the community knows, they're back for sale on the website. I know FC660Cs, HHKBs and RFs all have ABS spacebars and people hate the shine, so this is a great opportunity to stock up on some backups in case your spacebar gets particularly nasty! Grabbed 4 for myself. :)

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Sadly, like me, you must take alternative measures to prevent shine, such as putting a length of sticky tape across the space bar.

These are not compatible with the FC660C, unless I am missing something...?

Please consider carefully before you decide to comment, for Jesus.

Hope you all realize these newest stock are all fixed space bars.

FTFY.

EK realized their previous stock was designed incorrectly and has now corrected this issue.

As far as I know the HHKB/RF spacebar is compatible with the FC660C, it's the right shift and modifiers that don't work.

OK, looks like you are right. I stand corrected. :)
