Post by: SpAmRaY on Tue, 28 March 2017, 13:57:23: I'm going with probably not. You also might want to specify if you want a center stem or offset stem spacebar.

The pbt spacebars I can think of that would be 6x are not OEM profile. You *might* can find one in another profile from SP and possibly find one in cherry profile elsewhere.

But like everything else around here there is always an exception.

Also you can ask simple questions here -> https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=40501.0 (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=40501.0)

Some sources of 6 unit spacebars not necessarily to your requested specs

Do you think a DCS spacebar would look too out of place on a keyboard using all OEM keycaps? My other option would be making my whole bottom row DCS

I wend with DSA because it will look my spacebar look completely different instead of trying to "Imitate" OEM (Or I'm dumb and have no idea what I'm doing)

Edit: missed Puddsy already noting this.
