I'm in for a set!  I don't own a Topre keyboard yet, but I plan to one day.

FYI, I bought a red and blue from the first drop, and they are awesome.  They have a different feel and deeper sound than the standard ABS spacebars - I like them much better, even if you aren't looking for a color difference.

I highly recommend picking some up - I've been trying unsuccessfully to snag a white one on Ebay for forever.  Now I don't have to. :)

"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

Do these match the Topre keyset colors?

(well, I guess black does...  :D)

Did the original red spacebars match "Topre red?"

I just ordered a set this week. Is there a reason why the HHKB doesn't come standard with one?

On MassDrop they have NEVER run any HHKB Group Buy, maybe they see it as a true travesty to keyboards everywhere, hence they won't dirty themselves with ever selling it there  :p .

I can't help thinking that if more people cared about something as subtle as the feel and sound of a spacebar, the world would be a kinder, gentler place.

It is already and if they refuse a spacebar, as GREAT as this then they deserve a Kick-in-the-HEAD  8) .

Better yet, someone could thock, thock thock one of these PBT Topre spacebars at them so they'd hear the sound but be denied the feel, the other complete half of the matchless Topre experience. So ha.
