Title: [WTB] Topre Space Bar Spring
Post by: PointyFox on Thu, 26 December 2013, 19:46:01

I want to buy a Topre space bar spring.
They're the thing that sits on top of the switch to stabilize the key or whatever it is they do.
I need it for a Realforce 87UW45.

If you can't find an OEM spring I have some others that might work. I'll ship you one for free.

Photos, replacement spring is on the left side with OEM topre on right.

I measured the OEM spring at approx 40g and the replacement spring at around 80g. So almost double the force to bottom out.
