nope, zinc is pretty heavy

I don't think it would even work on 45g topre, but I could be wrong

I don't think a zinc spacebar would weigh 50 grams (remember the spring on the spacebar switch: adds about 15g but I can measure for sure if you like) but you can replace it with a stronger spring if you like. It could still work.

I am aiming for a cap you can just put in your keyboard and it works. There are possibilities to make the cap a bit lighter but without some test runs I can't tell how they will feel.
I only have a HHKB Pro2 and Pro1 available to test the caps.
