Title: a question about space bar options...
Post by: mv_LaiN on Wed, 31 July 2013, 22:51:17
are there standard mx cherry keycaps for space bars that are thinner, shorter or maybe uniquely shaped?  i wonder about this for 2 reasons -- first and most important is that when i play sc2 i use my thumb for the B and V keys, and i almost always graze if not actually press the space bar.. i also am curious stylistically about cool/strange space bars, the space key isnt an important one for me so id like to jazz it up :cool: :cool:

at the very least im going to mangle my current space bar to have a groove near the B/V keys.. thanks in advance! ! ! :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*

i dont think these fit MX CHERRY keys, i use a red switch CM storm keyboard, but will probably be upgrading soon

most of them do because they are made for cherry mx switches.l0l

DSA is pretty nice btw.

Vast majority of mass-produced mech. keyboards these days are.

Reverse OEM profile is the most comfortable spacebar.

Reason being,  the Height is good so it's closer to your thumb, and when pressed, your thumb won't hit the housing like it does with reversed cherry profile
