I have a bright white PBT keyset (from qtan) that's great in almost every way, except that the spacebar is curvy. This is particularly a problem with Leopold-style stabilizers when I hit the spacebar near the edge:

This doesn't happen with my ABS spacebars, which are straight enough that the stabilizer pegs get a solid grip. As I understand it, bendy spacebars are just a hazard of PBT fabrication, so I didn't try to return this one. Overall it's a minor annoyance because I usually hit the spacebar close to the center. However, it's bothering me a little more than I thought it would.
So: has anyone found a supplier that can deliver really straight, Leopold-compatible PBT spacebars? Preferably bright white or black? wasd is rumored to have PBT caps in the pipeline but their FAQ says their spacebars are not Leopold-compatible; I'll certainly give them a shot if/when this changes.
p.s. Some of you might say that I should have gone Filco, whose stabilizers might perform better in this situation, but TKL Filcos with blue switches are currently way too expensive in the US. I may yet buy a CM Storm if I can't figure out a better solution.
