The best type of spacebar is a flipped spacebar. I'm surprised I haven't seen more here :P

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Nice aj-kun. Really digging that space-bar with the Ragnarok. Where did you pick that space bar up from?

This spacebar is from a vintage keyboard, it's about 8x long, maybe 8.5x. It's not the biggest obviously but it sure is extremly rigid due to very thick plastic, a lot of struts and a nice stabilizer. Not sure what material it is, I guess ABS though.

It's not MX compatible btw.

I believe these were only done as part of a limited promotion.

Hey, how did you make your spacebars like that? Are these flocked, or done with paint of some sort?
Most of the modding can be done on your own once you break through the psychological barriers.

Seriously, Wildcard, how old is that keyboard? It looks like a 1980s thing to me. Was that really done by thumbs over a long period of time, or melted with heat as part of a trick?

They are flocked! I coat each one with adhesive and then coat them in fibers.
[shameless-plug]
But wait! There's more!
These are actually available for sale at techkeys.us.
Buy one today, or Boiler will send them all back to me and charge me shipping.   ;D
Seriously... someone please buy one?  :-[
[/shameless-plug]

EDIT: Hey if people can beg for a clark, I can beg for someone to buy flocked keycaps.
