I'm guessing I'm out of luck, but I was hoping to get a set of the relegendables to go with my base kit. Is there any vender that didn't sell through their stock yet?

Edit: I should have looked harder. Found some at Prototypist.

I don't think extras went life yet.

What issue are you having?  I haven't had any problems so far.

DCS PBT has some known issues with some 7u bars and some types of stabs. also came up with DCS delftware

Which is why all of the spacebars 6u+ in this set were made using ABS. This is the first time I'm hearing of an issue with the spacebars with this set. Hoping for some more info.

It’s very difficult to mount and even when I do manage to get it on, it binds really badly and even gets stuck sometimes.

I remember having issues with my Alps throwback set.  Finally helped a bit when I made sure to not press the stem down too far on the switch.  The way SP makes their alps stems on the space bars actually allows you to be able to press the stem further than intended into the switch.

Just tried this and it helped a good bit. No more binding or getting stuck but the travel still does feel a little wonky and rough. Will continue testing, thanks for the tip.

Good news. I fixed it. It appears to have been a combination of things of causing the problem. The first was that I was pushing the keycap too far down and the second was that the stabilizer cut outs on my plate were a little tight so the switches were slightly elevated above the pcb. I filed the cutouts to be wider and remounted the plate and now the stabilized keys feel fine. Thanks for the help.

sorry for the necro but can someone with the spacebars kit take a pic of the underside of the 6u spacebar for me?
wondering if the stab positioning is actually at 6u or at 5u like the mx bars for my first alps build  :p


nvm got a pic!
