Space Bar for Quick Fire
« on: Thu, 13 September 2012, 15:02:21 »
Where is the best place to get a 4.6" space bar for a Quick Fire Storm, a blank one in black. I'd like to get rid of some of the branding, also want some linux key caps to replace the windows keys. Or if anyone has any I could buy that would work also.

I ordered 3 different coloured spacebars and a set of Linux caps to replace the Win caps from wasdkeyboards.com. I also found a Scorpius-35Pro on E-bay for $7.50 with a bad trackball and replaced the letters and what ever else would fit with caps of large print yellow on black,  doesn't look to great but may help with seeing the keys and making less mistakes. I never learned how to type so things like the very small comma and period on the original caps just made it harder to type. Also gave me a board full of new blue cherry mx switches just in case I ever need one. I envy anyone who can type on a board with blank keys.
And it is a 4.6" spacebar.

Linux Modifiers:  http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/index.php/os-mx-keycap-set.html

Regular spacebar (multiple colors available):  http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/index.php/spacebar-cherry-mx-keycap.html

EK High-texture spacebar (my personal favorite):  http://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=access,cherrymxkeys&pid=sb_u2
I've seen the high-texture spacebar mentioned by name in a couple of places, but I haven't been able to find all too many details about it. What's it made of? Anything else interesting to know about it?
