Topre 7u Spacebar
« on: Mon, 25 July 2016, 19:13:17 »
Just acquired a topre board and realised it uses a 7u spacebar.

So was wondering if there are any after market 7u Topre spacebars produced or sold before.

Hahaha! If only it was that easy.

They actually have a 6u spacebar, and finding them are almost impossible as makers like GMK only have molds for 6.25u and 7u.

Can you take a picture of the keyboard? Apparently some older models have a 7u  :-[

You just missed a Massdrop for PBT spacebars for Topre. I'm sure several will come up for sale when the orders ship.

Meanwhile... these might be the same thing. They're even using a couple of photos from the Massdrop page...

Ah nice pickup.

If you find a stem from a Novatouch, you can replace the stems.



Then you're free to use the wide range of 7u Cherry spacebars!

FWIW, the PBT spacebars on Massdrop are 6u and won't fit your board.
