Title: Rosewill Spacebar has failed me!
Post by: Romp on Mon, 19 December 2011, 20:57:38

I just ordered my costume Key Caps which from WASD keyboards and I find out that the space bars are different T_T!!!!

Looks like rosewill only uses 1 mx switch then uses some kind of metal bar thingy and hooks into the key cap to make a smooth press.

sadface my WASD Spacebar was so baller too

It hasn't failed you. Check wiki regarding to the stabilizer bar.

Transfer the "hooks"/pins over to your new spacebar and it'll be all good.

It's not too hard, I wedge a fingernail in under it, and lever it out, though you could maybe be careful with a small flathead screwdriver.

Alternatively, you can forego removing the old stabilizer inserts, and just grab some new ones from WASD.
