Novatouch spacebar stabilizers and MX spacebar stabs
« on: Sun, 16 September 2018, 12:39:51 »
I need Novatouch spacebar stabilizers, including this metal bar.

Where can I buy this?
Is there a way to use regular MX stabs in a Novatouch?

Also, can MX spacebar stabilizer metal bar be used with topre spacebar stab housings?

Can someone who has Novatouch and has MX spacebar stabs confirm if the mx spacebar metal bar fits Novatouch spacebar stabs?

I don't have it so cannot tell.
I have spare parts of Novatouch and don't have Novatouch spacebar stabs bar and don't have MX keyboard to compare...

I've never seen the Novatouch stabs available on there own, in know for all the smaller stabilized keys the Nova stabilizers are compatible with realforce and Leopold 660C boards, so it should be the other way around. Im not so sure for space bars though. Asking around on the classifieds here and Reddit might be the best option.

I wonder if these could be used in NOvatouvch?

housing: https://www.shapeways.com/product/84BGVF5LD/topre-to-mx-stabilizer-housing-right

plunger: https://www.shapeways.com/product/PQWYW932J/topre-to-mx-stabilizer-plunger-left?optionId=62445050&li=more-from-shop

The NT spacebar stabs don't look like that, so I dunno how well it will work.
Also, sintered plastic isn't very smooth :(

MX stabilizer parts aren't compatible with Topre. Very different design for both the wire and the stabilizer.
I believe most people keep the spacebar stabs and switch as Topre and convert the rest to MX.

(I've got both a Novatouch and a RF87u)
