Those are gorgeous, and a great deal too!

I wonder if the spacebar would fit?

Yes... I already told you they fit. Those key caps are exactly the same as qtan is selling.

You're right, I missed the unless part in the description. Sorry.

I ordered a set, wish I knew about qtan before hand.

There was a thread a while ago showing some prototype see-through legend caps, and I think they were PBT. I don't think they ever got massed produced though and I can't seem to find the thread.
