Does anyone or anywhere sell 1.5x modifiers?
« on: Wed, 15 August 2012, 17:59:49 »
Ok, well at work I'm stuck on an AWFUL Belkin rubber dome that half the keys don't work correctly without slamming on them, so I want to replace it with my Blackwidow I have up in the cabinet. However, some of the keys are wearing, and would like to spruce it up before bringing it in. I'm going to be Plasti-dipping the shell to get rid of the fingerprint attracting gloss shell, and would like to replace keycaps while I'm at it.

With that being said... is there anywhere that sells 1.5x modifiers I could use on this bad boy? And while we're at it... a spacebar if possible? The 6x spacebar was such a terrible design choice. :/

Thanks GHers :)

I believe they also sell space bars on that site too

Yea, I guess their 1.5 modifier could be a fallback plan... was hoping for a PBT or double shot variant... though I might be setting the bar awfully high. I don't believe their space bar is the correct size though, is it?

You can get a winkeyless cherry keyboard. They usually have PBT, POM, or doubleshot modifiers.

Ah, most excellent. Now to solve this space bar issue...

The winkeyless cherry boards will have cherry height keys... which are different height than thick PBTs from imsto, for example, and different than filco/wasd/etc. keys.

Goodness. I'm gonna end up spending so much money on keyboards and keys. LOL

I'm pretty sure I remember reading somewhere that imsto's new thick PBT is exactly cherry profile.
I'm not sure about the spacebar. Maybe someone else can help you with that. The only thing I can think of is modifying a cherry one (for example) by cutting it down by the extra 1 unit.

In practice, having off profile modifiers isn't that much of an issue, at least not for me.

Thanks for the advice, good sir. I'll certainly keep that in mind on the off height modifiers not being the end of the world. Worst case, I'll drop a few 1.0x R1 keys on there, get a couple 1.5x cherry modifiers, and leave the space bar as is. Seems like a lot of work to find a 6x spacebar, lol
