Title: WTF Spacebar!
Post by: DrinkTea on Thu, 21 November 2013, 20:09:47
So, I got my first fancy (used) custom board, and it turns out, none of my spacebars are the right size! If you have one and could find it in your heart to sell me (or give?) I would appreciate it oh so much. Here's a picture.

You need to find a spacebar that is 7x, you can order them directly from SP.

You need a 7x spacebar. Also, that board is meant to have 1.5/1/1.5/7/1.5/1/1.5 bottom row, not 1.25/1.25/1.25/7/1.25/1.25/1.25 which is what you have at the minute (or will have once you have a 7x spacebar)

I don't see where I can order just a spacebar from SP. Also, meh on the modifiers. I'll live. I'm not OCD. Just want something that fits.

Well, if I'm ordering the spacebar, I might as well order the right size blank keys for the bottom. Any idea what the right white/gray colors to pick are?

Thanks in advance!

1.25+1.25+1.25+x+1.25+1.25+1.25 = 15
x = 15 - 7.5
x = 7.5

It seems you need a 7.5 spacebar  :))

Am I correct?

Want to give me one? Eh? Eh?
Why'd they make this thing with a weird-ass layout anyway? Grumble grumble.

Fine, good point. That's what's on my realforces. But that still has a 6.25 spacebar and so the spacebar is not excused.

It's not really an uncommon layout--many older winkeyless keyboards were like that.  This layout is popular because of its left-right symmetry.  Basically it looks nicer.  But yeah, you need sets with 1.5x, 1x modifiers and 7x spacebars.  Or also buy tsangan kits.

I've gotten a couple of DCS spacebars in 7x length from SP for that reason.  But now my new sets will be ordered with tsangan kits right away :).  I would recommend the ''GKH'' gray for that thick PBT set.  It's close to the color of modifiers.  I have that color spacebar and that pbt set.

Its the layout of most keyboards before windows keys were added.

So, no one has a spacebar and modifiers I can just buy from them? If not, any idea what colors on SP would either closely match or not look awful with the keys that I have? I figure if I order one I might as well order it all.

I will have a look... I probably have some Cherry 1.5 beige mods and 7x white spacebar so at least it will look right with the set thats on it already.

Why not just fix the left side?  All you need to do is add a menu key...

I went ahead and ordered some stuff from SP. We'll see how it looks.
