MKC Aluminum Spacebar [Closed]
« on: Tue, 23 October 2012, 11:16:20 »
Group Buy closed. Leftover is available in my eBay store:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330833653667&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT

I've planned on these aluminum spacebars for more than half a year and it's finally made by MKC. Obviously it's a lot cheaper than titanium spacebar, but it doesn't have as many options as Ti spacebar.


The aluminum spacebar comes with OEM profile and 3 stems (fits with Filco, Das, Ducky, Rosewill, WASD, etc.).

Two colors available: Silver and Red.

I'll stop taking orders on Nov 30th. These have been made and I should be able to receive them in 1-2 weeks, and then I'll get started with shipping.


Pricing:
$25 for each

Shipping:
USA/Canada - USPS First Class $4
USA - USPS Priority $6
Canada - USPS Priority $13
International - USPS First Class $5
International - USPS Priority $17

How to order:
Please send the payment (including shipping fees) to tangxiruo@hotmail.com as gift or add 3.5% to cover the fees.

After sending the payment, fill out the following fancy form:

I'm definitely ordering one red space bar and a full zinc set from the other gb. Someone asked how well the silver space bar would match the zinc key caps, but I don't think we got an answer. I'm interested in knowing this as well. Maybe Feng can chime in...

I think you can tell well enough from the photos.  The zinc caps are polished, and the Alu spacebar appears to have a slightly dull finish.  They aren't the same but they are both metal.

Okay, I just compared them more carefully and you are right, the zinc key caps have a more polished look than the silver space bar. They should still look good together, however, me thinks. Thanks.

Sounds to me like these won't be in peoples' hands until the turn of the year.
