You would probably have better luck getting a laser etched one from WASDkeyboards, as I am not sure if SP will do doubleshot space bars?

Tooling for 2-shot spacebar from SP is $3,500 :)

Yeah so you would be better going through WASD because you can have it done for around $10 shipped

Feng has a titanium spacebar in his keycap sale thread I think. I bought a navy blue space bar from him on ebay, nice guy!

Is that considered a double-shot space bar?  Its the one from a Deck for backlighting.

I can't find out if the keycaps on the Deck are ABS or PBT, the space bar is obviously ABS because of how it has gotten a shine unlike the rest of the keys.

i think thats like semi double shot... though i dont think it really counts. i think those are plastic inserts that are added afterwards.

Please don't do a double-shot space bar.  It'll ruin all the fun of laughing at noobs that ask about them.

Wasn't there a board with a blank key that was doubleshot?

Anyawy, as far as I know, the Deck's spacebar isn't doubleshot, I believe it's like their other keys: clear plastic & paint.
