Looking for a spacebar from filco ninja keycaps set
« on: Wed, 31 August 2016, 14:19:28 »
Hi guys! Title says it all...

I was able to get a set of ninja keycaps for my filco convertible, but the spacebar was missing. The one I have is still the stock spacebar that came with my filco, which has a different finish than that of the ninja keycaps. Ninja keycaps are less shiny and not as pitch black as the standard top printed filco keycaps, so that's why I'm looking for a spacebar that comes from a ninja set.

I know it's a very specific request, but I thought some of you might know where I could get one.

thanks guys!!! :-)

Thanks, I thought about that, but I don' t think I'm allowed to post there yet, as I only registered on Geekhack a few weeks ago :-)

I have quite a few spare spacebars, I'll snap some comparison pictures for you if you'd like, after work. Gauge the texture a little.

Thanks Gajible, it's very nice of you :-)  but I don't think I'm going to take any chance, since I'm very perfectionnist when it comes to my keyboard. I realy want a spacebar that comes from a filco ninja set (or a filco blank set since the texture and finish are the same as the ninja if I'm not mistaking).

But I really appreciate it, thanks again :-)

Maybe if you stripped UV coating off of a non-Ninja spacebar.

Mine are from a QFR Stealth. Same manufacturer. Assuming the keycaps are from the same manufacturer, you might be in luck?

Hey you're right!! And after looking at a couple of pictures of the QFR stealth, the keycaps do seem identical to the filco ninja keycaps in terms of texture/finish :-) So if your QFR stealth spacebar is still in perfect condition (no shine), I would love to buy it from you. Just PM me if you're interrested and thanks again for the offer. :-)

Not sure if you are interested but I have an entire filco ninja keycap set. Only issue is the spacebar has a little scratch on the top and to a lesser extent some smudges/scratches front of it. You can have the entire set for the cost of shipping which should be around 6.50 for flat rate (if you are CONUS). If you are interested, lmk and I can look over the keycaps closer.

Wow this community is extremely helpful :-)

Thanks a million HPE1000, I really appreciate it!  But, I know myself.... and even these minor scratches will always bother me a little.
I'm just insanely perfectonist when it comes to my keyboard. But I really, really appreciate your offer. :-)

No problem, I completely understand. I am pretty ocd as well.

Good luck finding what you need :)
