Title: DCS 6u Space bar stems
Post by: keshley on Mon, 23 November 2015, 07:40:26

Having some trouble finding the stem placement for DCS 6u space bars, can anybody shed some light?

I know Cherry profile 6u space bars are 95mm center to center for the stabilizers, and off-center for the central stem, but some 6u space bars are 98mm center to center, some are off-center for the central stem, and some are not.

So if anybody can shed light on the DCS profile 6u space bar stem placement, that would be awesome!

I don't have a DCS 6u spacebar, so I don't know for sure what the stem dimensions are. But SP's DSA 6u spacebar are 76mm center-to-center, with a centered switch stem. My guess would be that the DCS stem placement would be the same, but again, I have no way to verify that.

76mm is a lot narrower than I was expecting. I'd expect the placement to be the same too. Thanks jd!
