Title: 6x spacebars?
Post by: legodt on Sat, 17 May 2014, 03:12:49

Hey all, I'm looking for 6x spacebars so I can swap out the bottom row on my CM Quickfire Pro

Do any of you know where I can cop this cap?

I dont think i've ever seen any 6x spacebars other than the ones on CM Quickfire Pros and Blackwidows

G80-11900

SP 6x bars

Unfortunately, these won't fit the CM Storm QF Pro, Razer BW, iOne etc. that have the stem in the centre.

Signature Plastics' DCS-profile 6-unit space bar fits only some keyboards from Cherry that have the stem offset from the centre: the G80-11900 but also variants of G80-1800 and G80-11800 that have Windows keys. There are also some keyboards in Cherry's G81 series that have these space bars also.
I don't know about 6-unit DSA or SA profile though...

I would like to note that I do have a Cherry G80-8113 next to me right now and its 6 unit spacebar has an off-centered stem which is incompatible with my board. I saw a guy on Geekhack a while ago who had some 6 unit center stemmed bars and I shot him a message but he hasn't responded yet.

Is the space bar on the G80-8113 not 6.25 long?

I don't ahve an exact mesurement, but it looks pretty close. Either way the stem is off-center so it doesn't really matter

8113 is off center 6.25x

Alright so upon further inspection the spacebar was indeed a little bit longer.

Back on topic though, are these center stemmed (with stems also near the edges of bar as well) DSA, DCS or some other three letter form of a 6x spacebar?

SP has center stemmed 6x. I got some with the Retro DSA set

What color are they and are you willing to sell?
