Title: What is the spacebar size for poker II?
Post by: keypro on Sat, 26 July 2014, 05:54:22

I'm interested in buying new spacebars since its original spacebar looks horrible with stupid quote. Any recommendation for the brand of spacebar for poker II kb? Pictures would be great too.  Any input would be highly appreciated.  Thanks!  :))

The space bars from WASD fit the Poker II.  I have a set of orange caps I put over the function keys because of the terrible space bar.

I was kind of interested in the same thing. Just did a little googling... in private... and found it was 6.25.

Anything else than ABS (PBT, POM, PVC, PC). You will use the spacebar mostly at the same place and is mostly on of the top 5 keys you'll use the most. ABS spacebar will shine on spots after less than a year or so, and that'll litteraly look and feel horrible.

Picture for reference while it's a little bad you get the idea : http://photopost.vrforums.com/500/medium/keyboard11.jpg

PBT is hard to find but defenetly worth a shot. Anything else is stepping down for aesthetics because the stock Poker II spacebar is quality PBT. And Functionnality over Aesthetics, always.

Thank you for your input. I will get a PBT spacebar and may get aluminum one also for my personal preference.  ;)
