FC660C Space Bar Mod
« on: Fri, 15 September 2017, 07:26:40 »
Hello everyone, just wanted to see if there was anyone out there that found a way to mod the FC660C's space bar from topre to MX compatible? I have installed JTK sliders but noticed that there isn't an option to change out the stems on the stabilizers. So for now I have just left it as topre and kept original spacebar on. Anyway, if someone has done this please let me know, I will also be researching this and see if I can find or come up with any methods myself and if I find results I will be sure to post them here for future reference.

Thanks!  ;)

So he used a co-star stabilizer? I was hoping to either modify the stems of the existing stabilizer, I don't have any co-star stabilizers except for one off of my Razer Keyboard. Don't know if I want to make that board useless to get a cap on it.

So an update. I ended up going back to stock sliders for now. The JTK sliders started feeling much more wobbly, and keycaps would come off easily. I am thinking of purchasing a Realforce RGB and trying a slider swap with it. Will update with progress. The other thing I noticed after doing some research is that the stems on 6u spacebars (mx style) do not have a centered stab stem. So I am guessing you either have to purchase an alternative spacebar pack, or mod an existing stem to a 6u spacebar.  :eek:

This is getting pretty expensive, and I am starting to wonder if sticking with PBT topre keycaps is just the best way to go here. I do have alot of sets though and want to be able to use them on this board... :-\

Costar 6u stabilizers from AliExpress do the trick well,I'm leaving this here for future people in need : 6u Costar spacebar stab on fc660c https://imgur.com/a/YGwXo17

He's a friend, he used 2 base costar inserts because they felt more secure,and hot glued them to the plate.
