Title: Where O where....
Post by: do_Og@n on Sun, 23 December 2012, 21:22:12
....the heck do I buy just space bars?¿?

I've been wondering and looking if there are any websites out there (besides ebay) that will allow me to buy a space bar for MX and Topre keyboards. Unfortunately, I have yet to find one.

Does anyone know of a website or individual who is selling just space bars?

SP sells spacebars for MX mount, if you can handle the sharpness.

ABS: http://keycapsdirect.com/inventorypdfs/DCSABSInventory.pdf

I believe you have to email them if you are interested in purchasing whatever is in stock.

EDIT: Actually it says at the bottom who to conatct for purchasing.

Also here is where I pulled that inventory pdf from, you can see all their family stocks from here http://keycapsdirect.com/key-caps.php

EDIT 2: Better page for SP inventory http://keycapsdirect.com/key-capsinventory.php

I've often said that there should be a space bar GB.  SP does have a bunch of space bars available, but usually not what I'm looking for.

Where would one do a spacebar GB, many people (myself included) cannot stand the sharp spacebar that SP produces :s

It would be ideal if some retailer could be convinced to carry Cherry profile universal mount 6.25 spacebars in PBT/POM in a variety of colors or at least the basics like black, light beige (Chery 'white'), medium grey...
I agree it's a major pita that you can only get them with a full set.
