Should the stem be in the centre, or offset like Cherry?

Cherry-like profie, offset stem:
Signature Plastics and Gateron has made 6u space bars. These are in Signature Plastics' DCS and in Cherry's profile respectively. They have been sold in group buys, and people have spares. They fit Cherry's keyboards with 6u space bars and a few customs.

OEM profile, centre-stem:
Max Keyboards has them. I think other vendors resell Max Keyboards' stuff.

Yeah, 6u is a bit of an odd ball size for space bars.  Not unheard of, but very uncommon in group buys.

If you're CONUS I've got a white gateron 6u I'll sell you for the cost of shipping.

People in the 1980s, in general, were clearly just better than we are now in every measurable way.

The dumber the reason the more it must be done

Thanks for this. I might end up buying the one you linked me to.

You can get some on K1 Raptor keyboards (offcenter), I guess there are other G80-1800 around with this kind of caps.

Yep, the Cherry G80-1800, Cherry G80-11800 and Cherry G80-11900 with Windows keys have 6u space bar, offset stem. Cherry profile. The Cherry K1 Raptor is a variant of the Cherry G80-1800.

But I suppose that this key was intended for Vozella's custom. ;)
