I am BEGGING!!!! I've had to buy two sets of WoB to get the set I needed for my modded Filco. I found the wide numpad 0, I found the tall numpad +, I found the numpad ". and del" key (and all the other guy keys) but I still don't have a 6.25 spacebar that looks reasonable.


update: Thanks MKULTRA for all his feedback. As soon as I got home I checked the Cream spacebar (DCS profile) from my CCnG set on my board and the results were kind of meh. Even if it was in black it just wouldn't do any more justice to the set than the OEM profile that I have on it now. This plus the idea that black GMK/Cherry Spacebars in standard 6.25 are about as common as unicorns means I have to beg for something else:
 
If you've got a Black 6.25 Spacebar in ABS, PBT or even Bakelite (LOL) in Cherry profile that would be amazingly incredible! I'll buy it from you, I'll trade you for it, etc. This one last key is driving me crazy!!! I can't find it anywhere!!!



PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Help!!!

I'm not sure that those exist...  SP is your best bet.

Question... what is SP Profile closer to? OEM profile or Cherry Profile? I just had a "duh" moment... I think I've gotten so hung up on GMK that I haven't really considered SP properly. I'm not at home at the moment or I'd mount my CCnG SpaceBar on my board to check the profile.

SP is close to Cherry.  However the bottom row is kinda funky.  Let me get you a comparison photo of some SP and GMK sets.

EDIT:

Here is an SP spacebar next to bottom row GMK.  The GMK key is shorter.


These are both SP, the same height.


Sorry for ****ty photos.

SP probably has some black spacebars in stock.

Thanks MK!!!

I was just on their site and I'm looking at their 'Standard Product" page. I think I could pick up a base set in black in either DCS or DSA for not a whole lot. Which do you think would match the Cherry profile better (and here I'm only worried about the space bar): DCS or DSA?

Cheers,

K

Roger that. Photos are just what I needed: all they needed to do was show the height. And I'll say this much: compared to the Filco OEM Spacebar that's on it now, the SP is, in comparison, "Spot On!"

I needed to pick up a couple of blanks out of SP inventory for a different set anyway. Thanks for the feedback! I didn't realize that GMK 6.25s were that rare.

So have you gotten any progress in your search for a GMK 6.25 spacebar or something equivalent?

thanks for the reminder: i'm no longer desperate for the black cherry profile spacebars. i got one of each thanks to Ivan's rect gmk spacebar gb (and to a lesser extenet, to the fact that i placed a pretty large order in this gb).

I'm still interested in these, though, but now it's just for the sake of having
a spare of each.


cheers and thanks again everyone,

K
