Title: Is this Rama pbt 6u spacebar non-standard?
Post by: seerk on Wed, 06 May 2020, 18:34:03

EDIT: Looks like it's:
* 6 units (114mm wide, 3 keymounts, 43.5mm apart) CMStorm QuickFire Ultimate
I wonder why they went with this one instead of the more common one used in gmk keysets.
Does anyone have an Enjoy PBT 6u spacebar on hand that they could measure? Would be good to know if all of them are like that.
--------

I'm pretty bummed, I bought a rama pbt heavy industry (seq 3) keyset and the spacebar doesn't fit my pcb (DZ60) or stabs.  :(
Comparing it to one from GMK, it seems like the mounts are different:
[attachimg=1]
Rama:
[attachimg=2]
GMK:
[attachimg=3]

I don't think I have any options to mount this on my pcb since none of the holes match this spacebar.
From what I was reading, the keycaps are made by epbt. Are all epbt 6u spacebars like this? How do people go about mounting them?

Any info would be really appreciated. Thanks!
