Title: Cherry Profile Space Bars
Post by: bueller on Sun, 22 September 2013, 02:45:46
Is there anywhere that these can be purchased? I want to pick up 6.25x & 7x ones in black and white.

Signature Plastics might be the closest.

Unless you can get in on a GB where you can get space bars separately.

*cough* titanium spacebar *cough* *cough*


Buy one, it should last forever, work with cherry sets with the wrong spacebar stem layout and feels damn good!

Dolch space bars will be an uphill battle!

SP profile is not really Cherry profile. It is sharper in the front edge.

I got a 6-unit Dolch-coloured SP space bar in 7bit's Round 4. The lighter gray of Round 3 was spot on.

It's probably about as close as you can get without succumbing to the extremely high MOQ from GMK or BSP.

Devlin? They are more close to Cherry than DCS, no sharp front edge. Though I am not sure Devlin pricing I think the MOQ on larger keys was 'only' 100 instead of 400 with GMK. I don't think BSP have spacebar yet, or didn't yet when I last checked. They said they were looking in to getting some molds, so if they do they will be PBT too. That would be nice.
