PixelVandalism:
I attempted to mod the space-bar that came with my keycap set from wasd.

It looks like it should work, it holds onto the stabilizers perfectly.
But it gets stuck on the way back up, and feels sticky and rough when you push the sides down.
I realized after about an hour of filing, then checking it, and repeating, that I should have cut off the original stems before I stuck the new ones in.

It looks brown and dirty because of the rusty file

BiNiaRiS:
so cut/drill them out now?

WhiteFireDragon:
Well that's not really "failed" yet, because all you have to do now is cut the original side stems off.

PixelVandalism:
Do you have any suggestions on how to do that without damaging the top surface of my spacebar?

dorkvader:
I've never tried it, but clamp it in cloth and use a dremel (or be careful with a drill sideways)?
