Title: 2x spacebar profile
Post by: qihqi on Tue, 28 October 2014, 17:32:46

Hi,

Does anyone know where to get 2x keys with spacebar profile (curves out, instead of in) like the space bar used here (http://planckkeyboard.com/)

Thanks!

You could use a blank num0 key.
It might be a bit weird to get a hold of but it should work quite well. Especially if you flip it like what was shown in the pic.

I have never seen with Space Bar-profile for Cherry MX. I filed a thick Row A-profile numpad-0 key into a Space Bar, but it is very thin in places and doesn't have the right surface texture.

Thanks! How do you flip the key like the one in the picture?
Btw I thought num0 key has similar profile as Ctrl but just bigger?

I don't know of anywhere than makes convex type smaller than 3x units. To flip a key, do just that and place it upside down.

Thanks! I am an idiot.
