Title: Where to buy a single 6.5u spacebar?
Post by: trenzafeeds on Fri, 17 July 2015, 21:24:10
Ahhh, the infamous 6.5u spacebar, hated by many. Is there anywhere I can buy just like a single one of these guys? Preferably somewhere that offers a choice of colors...

PMK have them on DCS (http://keyshop.pimpmykeyboard.com/products/blank-key-packs/dcs-spacebars) and DSA (http://keyshop.pimpmykeyboard.com/products/blank-key-packs/blank-key-packs-iso-enter-and-dsa-spacebar) profiles, but the color selection is limited. Look at the end of the selection menu for them.

maxkeyboards has a translucent black, but no other color options.

Aha, I was wondering if those numbers along the side were the sizing! (I guess I've just never heard of a 9.75 space). I can't seem to find those colors on the charts, is it because they're PC?

9.75 is a big spacebar - here's one!

I think you're right about the -PC ruining it, probably a custom colour?  I can't find what colours Raindrop uses anywhere so the blue could be from that set which was run in DCS.

PMK aren't very responsive in their forum but usually reply quickly to e-mails so probably best to ask them for a pic, and to update their website - no-one will buy them blind :)
