I love how you've named the Rubbers Kit. In many countries, a rubber is the thing that you erase pencil with.

In the USA, a rubber is often the term used for a condom.

@[mention]biip [/mention] thanks, I need to add the standard regular spacebars kit, KBD wouldn’t let me add them to my order after the GB ended. You think they may allow extras now? I wanted to ship w/ the kits I already ordered.

Just wanted to update folks: The spacebars, at least on my set, are very straight. I know this has been a hot topic in other GB threads, so I hope this alleviates some stress for those who have not received their orders yet.

Note: I did only get the base set and can't speak to the quality of the spacebar kit.

Thanks for the info! Really good news considering my gok bow 7u was so warped it wouldn't return. Hoping my spacebars kit turns out ok

I have the spacebar kit as well, although I haven't tested each of them, the ones that I checked were fairly straight. The set itself looks pretty cool too :)

This set is so much better than my doubleshot WoB ePBT I bought earlier this year.  The keys actually sit like a half mm higher than the abs ones do, which means there is no interference.  the ABS keys have slight interference on row 3 with standard south facing switches, which I didn't even notice until I got this set.  I don't yet have any GMK sets, but this ePBT set is super nice and if this is the quality I can expect going forward I will continue buying their PBT stuff.  Also spacebars are straight.
