Title: 6.25u OEM profile spacebar (PBT preferred)?
Post by: the_marsbar on Sat, 28 April 2018, 11:44:29

Does anyone know if (and where) it is possible to buy a colored 6.25u OEM profile spacebar, preferrably in PBT, but ABS is alright too. It's for a Novatouch.

I see a set of keys (spacebar + arrows + ESC) on banggood, but it doesn't say how long the spacebar is, and I'm not fond of front-printed caps, so they would go in the bin, so I'd prefer to find just the spacebar.

Thanks a lot :)

If ABS is OK WASD will sell you one (http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/index.php/products/blank-keycap-singles/spacebar-cherry-mx-keycap.html).

I have seen that, but I was sort of hoping that someone would suggest a place to get a PBT one instead. I've bought a pair of the outer spacebars from Massdrop. I'm crossing my fingers that they won't be warped...

Also, I think I just decided to just get a couple of HKP spacebars, as I just discovered that his MX keys are OEM profile. I bought a bunch of blank keys for my HHKBs last year, including some spacebars, and they are really awesome. They are really thick, and feel great, so I'm sure they would be perfect on the Novatouch.
