Title: Steelseries 6GV2 Spacebar Help
Post by: ajdajd on Sat, 02 August 2014, 17:30:26

Hey guys, I'm new around here and am hoping to buy my first set of caps soon. Problem is, I have the dreaded Steelseries 6gv2 and am realizing how much of a pain it is to customize it. I've so far tracked down all the caps i need, except the spacebar.

Can anybody tell me where I can find a blank white spacebar to fit this board?

Any leads are appreciated, thanks!

Where did you find a fitting enter key?

I didn't find the big one, plan to use a regular rectangular key probably leaving a hole above it

If at all possible you should probably just get a different keyboard. The Rosewill RK9000 is cheap and has a standard ANSI layout.

This is an option I've considered, but I'd prefer not to if possible..

Needs a universal spacebar, one with 6 stems

The one from this set would work: http://www.geekkeys.com/white-top-printed-pbt-104-keyset/ (see the last pic in the gallery)

Is the keycap the same as the one on the 7G? I've seen 7G spacebars on Taobao
