I just ordered and paid for 2x Black - 6.25x, Cherry Profile, with 6 stems - Priority

Those shiny black spacebars were just too hard to resist.

metafour · « **Reply #51 on:** Tue, 01 January 2013, 11:00:22 »

I'm interested in some black space bars but is it possible to get some side shots so that we can compare the profiles?

Yeah I read that but having never used a Cherry profile spacebar since they're all pretty much offset stems I'd like to look at a side profile to help determine if it has a sharp edge similar to the SP DCS profile spacebar. I don't think it's an out of line request.

silat · « **Reply #54 on:** Tue, 01 January 2013, 18:40:12 »

What does the 6.25x and 7x designate?
Will either of these fit on a Ducky Shine as the first buy does not..

reaper · « **Reply #55 on:** Tue, 01 January 2013, 19:06:47 »

The 6.25x spacebars are for Filco, Ducky, Leopold, Poker, etc

The 7x spacebars are for Korean customs, Cherry keyboards, etc

I have a few cherry-profile spacebars. Cherry has the bast spacebar, in my opinion, just about perfect. The edge is not sharp at all. (I used to use a reversed spacebar on one of my keyboards 'cause SP spacebars are so sharp. I am pretty sure the people who got SP profile Titanium spacebars no longer have thumbs) So if it,s a faithful reproduction of a cherry spacebar, it'll be great.

Thanks Reaper. I bought one of the bars in the first gb. It does not fit my Ducky Shine. So does that mean its a 7?

Hey Feng, since green is out and black is in for round 2. Will you be putting green in round 3? Really needs me a green!

KuhnTang · « **Reply #64 on:** Wed, 02 January 2013, 20:25:30 »

For round three I would like (Gold, Gunmetal, Titanium). I would buy all three.

danielucf · « **Reply #65 on:** Wed, 02 January 2013, 20:39:39 »

Black sandblasted would look so much nicer than shiny black with finger prints visible. If possible make both mine sandblasted, let me know if it costs extra.

The_Ed · « **Reply #68 on:** Wed, 02 January 2013, 23:17:38 »

Shiny is the best, with brushed in second place. Sandblasted doesn't even make my list. That being said I would only order shiny.

DanGWanG · « **Reply #69 on:** Thu, 03 January 2013, 01:01:41 »

Do Cherry profile spacebars mix well with OEM height keycaps? Anyone have a picture?

I have the opposite and it works, but in your case not sure it would look/feel right.

I bought a space bar in GB 1. It does not fit my DUCKY SHINE even though the description says they will fit Ducky. Will any of these fit?

Yes he does. He's currently on vacation out of country, so please give him a bit of time to respond.

Show a pic of the undersides of your Ducky Shine spacebar and the GB1 spacebar side by side then. If the posts are in a non-standard placement, then of course it won't fit. Don't ever just trust that something will fit because someone makes a general statement that it will, and then complain later. Always check the placement on your specific board first, because then you will know for sure.

esoomenona · « **Reply #81 on:** Fri, 04 January 2013, 15:27:51 »

It might also be that the posts are closed in. Check those out and if so, get a screwdriver or butterknife or something and spread them out so that they will fit on the switches. Not too much though, or they will be loose and may come off.

You are being presumptuous. Im not complaining. Im asking.
It isnt the posts. It is the length of the space bar itself.

t2russo · « **Reply #83 on:** Fri, 04 January 2013, 16:03:27 »

Well you've left us all hanging... is it too short or too long?

So you're saying you didn't even measure your spacebar?...

Is it 1.5x, 4x, 5.5x, 6x, 6.25x, 6.5x, 7x, 8x, 9.75x, or 10x? And what is the stem placement? (I'm too lazy to list them all) Just post a pic like I asked.

silat · « **Reply #86 on:** Fri, 04 January 2013, 18:51:05 »

No Im not saying that. I didnt say that anywhere.

Thanks for taking the time to give me information. I appreciate it.
Let us start over.
When I take off the adjoining keys it fits fine. But I cannot put one of the adjoining keys back on due to space issues.
I just noticed that the left alt key has a defect on the right side that is causing the problem. I filed it down and now the spacebar fits.

Next:)
The Ducky Shine space bar is 4 5/8 measured on the bottom.
And the one I bought in the 1st gb is the same length. So what is the size of the bars from gb1?
So please tell me which boards match the spacebars in this sale. Will either of them fit the Deck Legend? Deck measures 4 1/2 inches. When it says 6.25x what does the x mean?

x equals the space from the center of one MX switch to another, which is 19mm, or almost 0.75 inches.

metafour · « **Reply #88 on:** Fri, 04 January 2013, 18:55:58 »

6.25x really means 6.25 times the size of a normal 1 unit sized key.

Damn, now we have two different definitions. Way to be jdcarpe!

The_Ed · « **Reply #90 on:** Fri, 04 January 2013, 19:06:25 »

It should fit your ducky just fine based on those pics... But it will not fit your deck as it looks to be 6x instead of 6.25x. 1 x = 1 1x1 key width by the way.

Check the stabilizer to see if there is a conflict or if it got dislodged or something.

I'm currently using my cherry profile Titanium spacebar with my OEM profile QFR keycaps, and it works really well. The Cherry spacebar is slightly different than the modifiers (Rightly so, I think) Not only does it work well, but it looks about darn perfect, in my opinion.

No picture though. I guess if you want one and no-one else has one, pm me and I'll charge up my camera.

Race should use a normal 6.25x spacebar, if I recall correctly.
