"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

This is awesome. I don't mind the white one being shiny since it's hardly as noticeable as the black one.

This is awesome! Does this mean I can take the tape off my black spacebars??? ;D No more off- color spacebars! Don't really want to order one though, until it gets shiny... question is, will they stay in stock...

stfu. this thread's topic isn't hhkb, it is about spacebars FOR hhkb/topre. you yourself are off topic, so get with the program

and I am on topic because the title says EK - Original Black Replacement Spacebar for Topre/HHKB

I am talking about the EK spacebars for topre, specifically leopold f660c. I am perfectly on topic. Your bashing of my on topic post is just off topic and thread crap.

And do you even own a topre board?

Sometimes companies get advertising wrong. It may fit leopold, it may not, they don't specify yes or no

for example: http://www.elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=access,toprekeys&pid=twasd_grn
the wasd clusters. No where does it say it can or cant be used with leopold, but you can use them on leopold f660c because it accepts topre

And I plan to own a topre board in the future and I want to see whether or not to get leo or 87u due to whether or not I can get replacement spacebars

leopold f660c is not HHKB.

TOPIC: EK - Original Black Replacement Spacebar for Topre/HHKB

That slash is extremely important

A slash or slant or solidus or virgule [ / ] (take your pick of names) is used to indicate a choice between the words it separates.

That means either topre or HHKB

and leopold f660c is a topre board

so I am on topic

go back to school and relearn grammar

your gif applies to you more than it applies to me in this situation

also if we go by your interpetation that it is only HHKB then it can't fit realforce 87u or 104 which it in fact does

your interpetation deviates from the real topic that this thread is for. All your arguements against me saying I am off topic apply to yourself.

And the white one is still not available.
"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

I emailed Brian asking if he planned on stocking the white ones:

We did, but Topre is no longer manufacturing extra keycaps. We're looking for other options, but I cannot guarantee any future releases.

Best regards,

That's what I suspected.  Maybe the black ones were the last left-over stock.  Oh well.

I think the black space bar looks good with the white set, especially if you have a few other accent keys.

My white space bar only has a little shine, even though this is secondhand HHKB.  It shows the love that this HHKB has received :)

I think these might have gone out of stock for a while, at least everyone stopped talking about them.
