Realforce 87U Spacebar
« on: Wed, 28 December 2011, 19:27:40 »
Do you guys have any idea where I could purchase a replacement beige space bar for my Realforce 87U?  I don't really want to purchase a full replacement set of keycaps for $100.  I scratched up my spacebar when removing it and then instead of letting it go, crazy obsessive compulsive me went and tried to rough out the scratch.  Ended up making the spacebar scratch free but shiny and shiny is absolutely not what I was looking for.  So anyway would like to purchase a new spacebar without a full set of replacement keys.  

I guess I could post on the classifieds.

Thanks.
Current in order of preference:  RealForce 87U Silent White with variable weighted keys X 2, Filco Majestouch 2 Tenkeyless with Linear Reds, Filco Number-pad, Poker with Linear Reds

Sold or returned:  Multiple Microsoft and Logitech keyboards, Das Keyboard Silent, Cherry 6140, RealForce 103UB, RealForce 86U, Filco Majestouch 2 full sized with Linear Reds

Maybe folks with 86U/103U who bought those coloured sets would sell their spacebar. You can also buy a HHKB replacement set of keys for 78 bucks at Elitekeyboards, or maybe email EK directly for help.

you could also try to sell this set and offset the cost of a colored set if you go down that route.. You should get some buyers.

Realforce/Leopold show no mercy when it comes to space bars

I removed many keycaps and spacebars with no issues but this Realforce spacebar scratched super easy.

I did e-mail Elite Keyboards as I'm hoping they would keep some replacement parts on hand.
