where can i find a standard black space bar for a shine 3?
« on: Wed, 15 October 2014, 21:40:46 »
I hate the stock snake spacebar and was wondering how I can get a hold of a plain black one or the older one with the duck in the front and not on top.

It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

I hate the snake spacebar on my shine 3 TKL. anyone know where I can get a plain black one or the ones with just the duck front faced printed? I was going to see if my corsair spacebar fit but it doesn't but that would have been amazing if it did. haha

The DS3 comes with a plain spacebar if you buy/bought it new.
I proxy anything including keyboards (キーボード / 鍵盤), from both Japan (日本) and China (中國). For more information, you may visit my dedicated webpage here: https://www.keyboards.es/proxying.html

Save your money, just get a Tai Hao black spacebar. Lots of people have them and don't use them, so they should be cheap.

Does the TKL come with two space bars like my shine did?
I stopped using the snake, it got kind of annoying.

I got a Ducky Shine 3 TKL to replace my Filco Majestouch Ninja that died on me but my Ducky didn't come with the extra space bar and only the snake one. I don't like the snake at all and was hoping to change the space bar out with the extra space bar I thought I was going to get with the shine 3. luckily I found one with just the duck logo printed on the front instead of the top for $8 shipped. I would have even preferred a plain black space bar over the snake. I saw the shine 4 space bar and it looks even worse. haha. anyone else hate the snake?

the recent batch doesn't come with the extra space bar in fact i even contacted Ducky about it and they said they no longer have the extra space bar in the shine 3's. kinda a bummer. I bought my shine 3 from mechanicalkeyboards.com

The snake is a bit crude IMO. Here's another alternative as well: http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=1011

yeah I like that one and I almost got it but ended up with the duck front printed. I may just order that one also just to change it up now and then.

Well I got the new space bar today and its even better than I thought. the pictures make the ducky logo look really big but its actually kinda small which I like. This is the one I got. I didnt take the picture but I have the same green LED version. I really like this space bar and looks a million times better than the snake one.
