stfu. this thread's topic isn't hhkb, it is about spacebars FOR hhkb/topre. you yourself are off topic, so get with the program

and I am on topic because the title says EK - Original Black Replacement Spacebar for Topre/HHKB

I am talking about the EK spacebars for topre, specifically leopold f660c. I am perfectly on topic. Your bashing of my on topic post is just off topic and thread crap.

Sometimes companies get advertising wrong. It may fit leopold, it may not, they don't specify yes or no

for example: http://www.elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=access,toprekeys&pid=twasd_grn
the wasd clusters. No where does it say it can or cant be used with leopold, but you can use them on leopold f660c because it accepts topre

And I plan to own a topre board in the future and I want to see whether or not to get leo or 87u due to whether or not I can get replacement spacebars

leopold f660c is not HHKB.

TOPIC: EK - Original Black Replacement Spacebar for Topre/HHKB

That slash is extremely important

A slash or slant or solidus or virgule [ / ] (take your pick of names) is used to indicate a choice between the words it separates.

That means either topre or HHKB

and leopold f660c is a topre board

so I am on topic

go back to school and relearn grammar

your gif applies to you more than it applies to me in this situation

also if we go by your interpetation that it is only HHKB then it can't fit realforce 87u or 104 which it in fact does

your interpetation deviates from the real topic that this thread is for. All your arguements against me saying I am off topic apply to yourself.

We did, but Topre is no longer manufacturing extra keycaps. We're looking for other options, but I cannot guarantee any future releases.
