Post by: rausse on Thu, 14 July 2016, 15:02:07: FYI, I bought a red and blue from the first drop, and they are awesome. They have a different feel and deeper sound than the standard ABS spacebars - I like them much better, even if you aren't looking for a color difference.

I highly recommend picking some up - I've been trying unsuccessfully to snag a white one on Ebay for forever. Now I don't have to. :)

Post by: Pliny on Fri, 15 July 2016, 03:17:28: Do these match the Topre keyset colors?

(well, I guess black does... :D)

Did the original red spacebars match "Topre red?"

On MassDrop they have NEVER run any HHKB Group Buy, maybe they see it as a true travesty to keyboards everywhere, hence they won't dirty themselves with ever selling it there :p .

It is already and if they refuse a spacebar, as GREAT as this then they deserve a Kick-in-the-HEAD 8) .

Better yet, someone could thock, thock thock one of these PBT Topre spacebars at them so they'd hear the sound but be denied the feel, the other complete half of the matchless Topre experience. So ha.
