Finally got the chance to bring over more titanium spacebar. I'll start the order thread once we have at least 10 people interested.
Two options for the height: OEM profile and Cherry profile. OEM is a bit higher than Cherry. And FYI those SP's spacebars from many of the doubleshot keycaps group buys here have the same height as Cherry's.
On the left side, it's the spacebar from tsangan's green cream cheese keyset. On the right side, it's an OEM titanium spacebar.
[attachimg=1]
And you have three options for choosing the appearance.
1. Shiny
2. Sandblasted
3. Brushed Finish
Shiny Titanium Spacebar
[attachimg=2][attachimg=3]
Brushed Finish Ti Spacebar
[attachimg=4]
The sandblasted ones will look like these:
[attachimg=5]
The price will be $100 for each.
-
technically i have an automatic first post, so keep that in mind when distributing, but i do want one. i think i'd want shiny, but again, i had an auto first post, so i'm fine with my request being superceded by another member :)
also, wire whatever = brushed finish
one sec, i'll allow more attachments per post
edit: ok, you can add as many attachments as you want to the OP
-
I am in for 1. kthx
:)
-
Can we see the sandblasted one too please? I Will be in for a brushed and sand blasted one if the finish is awesome, both cherry :)
I take it that they are 6.25?
-
I'll maybe take one, not sure yet.
100$ is a nasty price. Expecially since the € is currently very low :x

Metal caps are never cheap but always worth it!

Sure.
But that's another 100$ spent in a hobby I already spent to much into xD.
-
I'll grab one :). Have to have that spacebar!
Cherry profile, please.
Ps: please get back to me about the stuff you haven't sent me yet. Been waiting patiently.

ho ho ho. no such thing as "too much"!
(ok, that's almost certainly not true, but TITANIUM SIR)
-
Do you have unlimited supply or do we need to battle over those? :o
-
OEM or Cherry to match Deck, Filco and WASD?
Im probably in..

OEM will match the default keycaps.
Cherry will match the SP keycaps or the cherry keycaps, if you ever think of changing them.
If you don't know, I recommand you to choose the cherry profile. You'll buy another set of caps one day.
-
This will go with my scarface caps so well!
MMMMMMMMM!
-
Definitely in for one of these babies!
-
In for one.
They looks awesome.
-
In for one but only if cherry profile

-
The spray sand ones will look like these:
(Attachment Link)
I will take some of these, also :D
-
I'm interested in one.
Titanium spacebars are a great way to lighten the heavier spacebar switches.
-
I would be in for one. I'm diggin the brushed finish!

-
Feng can you get those modifiers?!
-
definitely in for one I have been hanging out for this for ages
bring it on
-
Changed my mind, in for one of each :)
-
available for topre?
-
Feng, get us the modifiers too, please? :) :) :)
-

Mine? Not yet :P

To be clear, these are 6.25 units spacebar. And I don't have plan to get some 7 units ones yet.
I'm still talking to the producer, to see if it's possible to make 4-6 stems inside. He said for Cherry profile, 6 stems should be fine, but for OEM profile, 6 stems could be a bit too heavy. Maybe 4 stems will work with OEM profile.
Anyway we're still working on it and waiting for his response about the price. More stems might cost more handing or whatever fees, but I think it's worth.
He will get back to me tomorrow morning. And then I should be able to get the ordering started.
Modifiers... hmmm, I want them so much for myself too. But he doesn't have time yet, after September, I'll ask him again to see if we can get some modifiers.
-
BTW, get ready for the "geek hack" aluminum backspace and R4 keycaps guys. :P
-
Can we start ordering these yet?!
-
Please wait for 8 hours when I get the final price and be clear about the stems. :)
-
Ok, thanks feng!
-
Reckon i'll be up for this.
Probably take 2 shiny ones. 8)
Edit: if other metal caps can be bought at the same time then will buy as much as I can afford! Arrived way to late to get in on scarface caps
-

Dear Feng, put me down for 2 (TWO) Brushed Finish Ti Spacebars. I wet myself when I saw your posting to this. :o
Of course if and when the modifiers are available as well, I'll buy two of everything.........EVERYTHING. ;D

They weren't available outside Korea ;)

Really digging the look of the sandblasted one but also the brushed.... decisions.. might have to get both even though my wallet won't like it.

I'm pretty sure you can sell the one you don't like at minimal loss after a few years.

I used to think about getting a full titanium keyset, but I gave up when I found out the price might cost more than $2000. I'd prefer using this money to travel around America again. :P
Update: 7x spacebar should be able to happen, I'll ask my friend to send a sample 7x spacebar to the producer.
-
full titanium keyboad :o i think i need a spacebar and a backsapce :))

Depends.
Price will only go up if htere is no other offer.
Maybe feng will be able to produce and sell those all year around, or maybe another actor will be able to do so.
I also don't like the idea of speculating over keycaps. Buying them to keep them available for people who missed a GB is great and I'm thankfull for the people who do. But if the intend is profit, it isn't.

I could get you a full titanium set for waaay less.
I sort of want one of yours for comparison.

Ask longweight nicely to ship you some of his scarfaces keys, if you want to sample them. (Maybe lend him some money as safety to make sure they return?)
Also, when will your own project move forward? :p

Scarface's were aluminum and thus easy to machine and polish (and consequently, not very wear-resistant)
This is a different league.

Totally forgot that they are cast. Still not relevant for me though, I just want to know about the finishing of titanium since it has proven to be difficult to get them polished.
-
Interested in a shiny one if it will fit my Leopold FC200RT? Not sure on the stem spacing?
-
Will this fit on a KBT Pure? And which finish will look best with the SC2 Titanium keys?
-
Wow. I'd like one Cherry profile sandblasted and one Cherry profile brushed.
-
I too would be in for one Cherry profile of whatever matches the titanium SC caps from feng. I think the same request was mabe above.
Thanks,
John
-
will be interested in 1-2 also
-
6 stems might cost $10 more than the 3 stems spacebar, and 4 stems might cost $4 more. I don't think people would care about this $10 since the spacebar is already $100.
What do you guys think? Let's make it 6 stems? FYI, 6 stems should be fine with cherry profile, but still not sure if 6 stems would be too heavy for the OEM profile yet.
-
I just want standard Filco mounts, not too happy if I have to pay more but I know that I will.
-
feng, since you have far fewer caps than orders, can you decide who is in on the gb first, and then query them as to their stem requirements? unfortunately, it sounds like you will simply have to decide who to sell to before you can get an accurate count of compatibility requirements...
-

same here. For my wasd board and/or Pure
-
same.
Filco all the way.
-
Would any of these fit a Poker?
Also, another vote for a Topre version!
-
7x, 3 stems, Cherry profile, gogo =)
-
How many of these would have to be ordered to bring the prices down? Or is the idea to keep them rare like CCs?
-
for various reasons these can't really be made in volume, so there's no quantity discount

Well I want one so put me down before they are all gone. I also feel entitled to one because I have SC2 titanium Key :P

I'm still talking to the producer to see if it's possible to make all kinds of stems including 3 stems, 4 stems, and 6 stems. If not, we'll then talk about which way would be more acceptable for most people.
I was about to bring over 20 pieces of Ti spacebar, but it seems like there's more demands than I expected. I'll let you guys know if it's possible to get more this time.
-

Well, it's not like we're keeping it rare, it's that we can't make many of them because they are all polished by hand. So there's no quantity discount as mkawa said.
-
Could we order them unpolished. I could polish my own
-
I could polish my own
tee-hee

1x shiny in cherry profile with 4-6 stems so it can fit my G80-3494LYCUS-2.
I NEEDS THE PRECIOUS!
