Final price should be $15.50 for 2 spacebars! Plus shipping of course.

You will be able to alter your order later.

Almost there! We are refining the copy and adding pictures to the drop.

There will be 2 tiers, at 100 and 250 (orders not spacebars). If you don't confirm your order you'll put me in a very very unpleasant position with Massdrop... just saying...

I ran the numbers on the "purchase intent" one last time.

We collected about 550 orders. I expect at least a 10% to resign, so let's say that if we get less than 500 orders I would be really disappointed :P

Color preference is as follow:

Red => 119
Sky Blue/Light Blue => 114
Medium gray => 104
Mint/Light Green => 93

Medium gray didn't make it for a whisker!

I think I'll be doubling my order to 8 spacebars at that price, depending on the most of international shipping with massdrop (sometimes its pretty absurd even on small items)

Sweet titty Jesus. I actually lived to the day that the PBT spacebar was finally thought out and made. Three cheers for Matt3o! Bought all four. Hopefully this GB gets a ton of traction and more colors are done in the future (i.e. Pink/Green)!

Well, giving the pricing I decided to go in for 2 white, 2 black, a red and a blue.  Probably won't use the red/blue ones but maybe I'll want to some day, so better safe than sorry.  Can't wait to get rid of the scotch tape from my spacebars.

PBT BARS!!! i think i'm starting to get feelings for you, matt3o :D


upped my order from 8 to 10.

and just a heads up for everyone:

option 1:
3 x 1 light grey + 1 dark grey
1 x 1 light grey + 1 dark grey + 1 red + 1 blue
price = $85.66

option 2:
4 x 1 light grey + 1 dark grey
1 x 1 red + 1 blue
price = $95.85

option 3:
1 x 4 light grey + 4 dark grey
1 x 1 red + 1 blue
price = $79.68

as you can see, each option = 4 light grey, 4 dark grey, 1 red, 1 blue
each option has a different pricing, even though you'd be buying the exact same thing. (think about it when you order!)

also, 1 x 4 light grey + 4 dark grey is only a few (7) bucks more than 3 x 1 light grey + 1 dark grey, so..... (2 spacebars for $7)

edit: made a thread in the keyboard section on overclock.net. i don't think Topre is popular there, but why not  :D
