Title: Do BSP PBT spacebars exist?
Post by: fishcola on Tue, 18 August 2015, 10:03:41

Is it a case of "one does not simply acquire a BSP pbt spacebar?" Or were their spacebars always ABS like the apple extended keyboard?

That is interesting... which PBT manufacturer does beige? My first guess would be Gateron, but I don't think I've seen a 7x from them.

I suppose Imsto used his own pbt? I don't know where his original pbt comes from, but that would be my guess.  I think he's hosting the round 3 GB for that set on his site right now: http://imsto.cn/index.php?route=product/product&path=62&product_id=111

As I understand it IMSTO does dyesub not keycap manufacturing. He buys blanks from manufacturers.

He probably just gave him gateron pbt spacebars. He stocks them on his site too: http://imsto.cn/index.php?route=product/product&path=59&product_id=99

And there's the 7x Gateron spacebar so yeah that's the most likely scenario.

Wonder how well the colors match BSP.
