TO match what set (profile), what size? It may be easy or nearly impossible depending on what specifically you need.

You may try to get your space bar un-warped. It should be heated with hot water or a hair blower, then mechanically put force to bend it back to its straight position, normally by hand, and by progressive approximation.

One source for a 6.25u near white PBT space bar is to get a PBT set from Bang Good  (http://www.banggood.com/PBT-87-Blank-White-Key-Caps-for-Cherry-MX-Keyboard-p-84084.html)for ~$18 USD.

QTan store had a white PBT space bar but I just checked and it is not there anymore, you may check with QTan its availability though. I am typing with one of them right now, along with my Skull Squadron set.

I hope this may be of help.

Errata: I wrote 6.5 instead of 6.25 sorry.

If you're looking for an OEM profile universal 6.25x I can sell it.
