Title: [IC] Cherry profile thick PBT spacebar
Post by: Matt3o on Wed, 05 November 2014, 07:04:15: Would there be interest for a Cherry profile *thick* PBT spacebar?

I might be able to have it manufactured but the mold is expensive and to make it worth we need to make at least 2000-3000 of them, with a cost of about €9-10 each. Of course the more we produce the less they cost.

thoughts?

Post by: FrostyToast on Wed, 05 November 2014, 07:37:35: What will the colours be?
Title: Re: [IC] Cherry profile thick PBT spacebar
Post by: Flyersfan1 on Wed, 05 November 2014, 07:40:08: Would definitely be interested, that's a pretty ambitious MOQ, but I was really bummed on missing the group buy for GMK spacebars last year. Would there be an option for different colors, along with 7x unit spacebars?
Title: Re: [IC] Cherry profile thick PBT spacebar
Post by: Matt3o on Wed, 05 November 2014, 07:46:29: color can be anything. I guess we could make 3-4 options.

7u is feasible but needs another GB

of course we would need support from some vendors

Post by: FrostyToast on Wed, 05 November 2014, 08:27:35: I would love special novelty dye subs on these. I feel like novelty space bars aren't done often enough.
Title: Re: [IC] Cherry profile thick PBT spacebar
Post by: IvanIvanovich on Wed, 05 November 2014, 09:30:25: Right, 7x is the one that needs produced. There are at least a few sources for 6.25 already but no one is making 7x (unless you are getting a custom order from Cherry on winkeyless models as it seems they still make them on request but it's like 10k keyboard LOL). I would get color match to BSP sets 'white', for other colors there is always dye.

Post by: Battou62 on Wed, 05 November 2014, 09:59:16: Interested in 7X.
Title: Re: [IC] Cherry profile thick PBT spacebar
Post by: strict on Wed, 05 November 2014, 10:11:02: I would buy at least one or two black 7x :thumb:
Title: Re: [IC] Cherry profile thick PBT spacebar
Post by: justnits on Wed, 05 November 2014, 10:14:51: would be interested if it's 7u
Title: Re: [IC] Cherry profile thick PBT spacebar
Post by: ideus on Wed, 05 November 2014, 10:18:57: It looks that the demand required is too steep for the number of GH members only. I would suggest to try an interest check at Massdrop instead, or at r/m, gh, dt, and massdrop and consolidate the demand maybe at the last one, or somehow to have the total numbers and verify if that justify the cost for a new mold. Maybe some vendor may pay part of it, if it may have the chance to keep it.
Title: Re: [IC] Cherry profile thick PBT spacebar
Post by: Sent on Wed, 05 November 2014, 18:08:50: Damn, that is a lot of spacebars. Definitely interested, though. Would probably pick up several.

Title: Re: [IC] Cherry profile thick PBT spacebar

Title: Re: [IC] Cherry profile thick PBT spacebar
Post by: HPE1000 on Thu, 06 November 2014, 10:04:46: I'll buy two 7x and two 6.25x. (Black)
Title: Re: [IC] Cherry profile thick PBT spacebar
Post by: nya on Thu, 06 November 2014, 15:53:19: It may not really count as a spacebar, and it's highly unlikely that enough people will want it, but I could use a 2.5u and a 3u. >.<
Title: Re: [IC] Cherry profile thick PBT spacebar
Post by: CommonCurt on Thu, 06 November 2014, 16:35:49: Would be in for 6.25 in beige, grey, blue (possibly other colors).
Title: Re: [IC] Cherry profile thick PBT spacebar
Post by: keymaster on Thu, 06 November 2014, 17:24:40: I'd want a black 6.25 space bar. Would the black PBT match original Cherry ABS black?
Title: Re: [IC] Cherry profile thick PBT spacebar
Post by: Elocutive on Thu, 06 November 2014, 17:42:50: If we ever get there, I would probably buy 2 or 3 at that price
Title: Re: [IC] Cherry profile thick PBT spacebar
Post by: intelli78 on Thu, 06 November 2014, 17:48:41: I'll buy several if it happens.
Title: Re: [IC] Cherry profile thick PBT spacebar
Post by: jacobolus on Thu, 06 November 2014, 18:38:28: What about sizes in the 1.5u, 2u, 2.5u range? :)
Title: Re: [IC] Cherry profile thick PBT spacebar
Post by: frosty on Thu, 06 November 2014, 23:06:19: Will buy two 6.25x white/black if this happens.
Title: Re: [IC] Cherry profile thick PBT spacebar
Post by: Cherry1990 on Tue, 11 November 2014, 14:57:39: If it will be compatible with Cherry G80-3000 and Ducky keyboards, I am interested. 90% I need it "Cherry white".
Thank you.
Title: Re: [IC] Cherry profile thick PBT spacebar
Post by: cseng on Wed, 12 November 2014, 05:57:42: pleaaaaase
Title: Re: [IC] Cherry profile thick PBT spacebar
Post by: berserkfan on Sat, 15 November 2014, 04:28:40: Deep down I suspect it is impossible, but I want 6x and would be happy to buy as many as 10 white PBT spacebars to contribute towards meeting MOQ. (No surprises here; I have Deck and TG3 keyboards.)

As for color, as an experienced dyer I very strongly suggest WHITE only because all other colors can be self dyed often with a high degree of professionalism.

I love it when Matt3o takes the ball and runs it to the end zone...or dribbles it to the goal...or slices it through the ice toward the goal...or...too many sports metaphors to cover for an international forum base... :confused:

Title: Re: [IC] Cherry profile thick PBT spacebar
Post by: feizor on Sat, 15 November 2014, 10:46:32: I'd take a couple of 7u ones.
Title: Re: [IC] Cherry profile thick PBT spacebar
Post by: romevi on Wed, 16 September 2015, 23:33:16: Sorry for reviving an old thread, but, Matt30, now that the Topre bars are shipping, are you going to pick up on this?

Also, do you have a Shapeways store? Noticed that your arc reactor cap sorta died, too.
Title: Re: [IC] Cherry profile thick PBT spacebar
Post by: KnivesM on Thu, 17 September 2015, 00:01:02: I'd take a few colored 6.25 spacebars, a lot of 7u ones if you do those too.
Title: Re: [IC] Cherry profile thick PBT spacebar
Post by: effectiveduck on Thu, 17 September 2015, 00:04:49: I'd also be very interested in some 6u spacebars, can't seem to find any outside gateron and the odd og cherry board.
Title: Re: [IC] Cherry profile thick PBT spacebar

Suppose you've got time to now design these Cherry PBT spacers so go to it.

Don't care what the colours will be because I know you'll choose the correct ones for sale due to your innate colour skills as a designer of worth.

All this new PBT space bar needs is the Matt3o signature like what those other no-name designers like Pierre Cardin, Yves Saint Laurent and that Giorgio Armani apply onto their products range.

You are the next Key-cap designer of great skill and worth, hence we all look forward to acquiring more of your pieces as time goes by.

Post by: azhdar on Mon, 28 September 2015, 06:24:28: There's now gateron spacebars that are PBT on chery profile.
Just need more color options for those.
Title: Re: [IC] Cherry profile thick PBT spacebar
Post by: Findecanor on Mon, 28 September 2015, 07:00:49: Gateron space bars would probably be the most feasible, I agree.

They also have ISO Enter keys now - if not too much trouble, then I think it would be nice to have that too in the same order.

I am into 7u space bars and ISO enter keys in matching color, preferably in the usual black and beige ones.

I have bought some ISO enter aswell as their windowed on taobao, gotta say they match well the color of OG cherry.

And it seems they even have black spacebars now : http://world.taobao.com/item/520956720785.htm?fromSite=main&spm=a312a.7700824.w4004-10070819993.10.jETstq

That would be may alternative to get my old beige into use with my current ISO layout. Thank you very much for the reference.
