So, I'm well aware that the spacebar on my leopold tenkeyless is nonstandard, but does anyone make them special? I would definitely go for more customization if I wasn't stuck with a black spacebar...

If you have a 200R you can get them on taobao, look for the Keycool spacebar, they have dozen colors or so. Also some keycap set from KBC and others have universal which will work. If you have a fullsize you are basically out of luck though.

I think that the Profesist will make one for you if you pay him a pittance

Modding space bars is easy if you have a scrap 2x4, an old MY board (or some leftover MX stems) and some 5-minute epoxy...
At some point I probably ought to go back and edit this thread to reload the pics, as they seem to have gotten lost in the forum rebuild. But if I can do it you can do it too. All I used was a piece of scrap 2x4, a MY board that was going in the trash anyway, aforementioned epoxy, and a power drill and a set of spade bits so I could glue the MY stems into the board to make my jig. I did use a Dremel tool to shave off the MY stabilizer junk and to get the posts that I harvested from a pile of old lasered caps to glue onto the caps I was going to save. Dunno if the text alone gives you the general idea... I will try to find those pics and reload one of these days.

I still need to mod another space bar for my Choc Pro... why are there so many different standards for post spacing?

I found one from rtan, I'll just order from him.

i think you're out of luck. somebody please prove me wrong

I have white ones. You'll have to paint it black.

you *have* white ones, for sale? I'm pretty interested, I just am not a huge fan of the feel of ABS keycaps. I have all my keys in ABS except the gosh darn spacebar... if you have one for sale, please PM me - definitely interested even if in white.

It's the universal spacebars I got from CCnG group buy. I'll let you have one. PM me w/ offer. Somebody tried to say I had too many ;)

Couldn't you just buy a NOIR/SPACE from the ROUND4 GB? They are universal.
-
Oh yeah, forgot about GB4. I ordered a few spherical spacebars for Leopold. See if you can get some...

I thought those were still ABS?
Would the PBT on one of the new leopold fit, or did they change the spacing on all their models, necessitating a stem move?
I have some few ABS WYSE ones left, as well. I think the colour might be a little different, but probably not as white as leopold (And definitely not black).

It fits on my Typenow Solid which is the only Leopold board I have.
