Leopold-Compatible Spacebars at EK
« on: Wed, 22 February 2012, 20:12:53 »
EliteKeyboards.com has just announced, and put on their website, that they are selling Black* spacebars that are designed to fit both the Leopold 200r's** and ALSO the other standard Filco/CM/Poker/Das stabilizer placements. What this means, then, is that we now have a place to replace our shiny or busted bars without having to get them from a group buy!.

*They are NOT going to be getting the White-ish color spacebars because at the moment there is no demand for them.

If there is enough demand that convinces us to manufacture,
the white colored spacebar will come in. BUT, we do not think
there is, unless someone is going to commit buying 800 of them at
one time.

So, the answer to you e-mail is, no, at this moment.


**Theses do NOT fit Leopold 500r's which is their Fullsize version.

Anyone who got it mind posting some picture of the stems? I wonder why it can fit FILCO and Leopold at the same time(different standard) while can't fit Fullsize Leopold. Isn't the spacing on Fullsize and TKL Leopold the same?

Nope, the spacing on the Leopolds is different.

The spacebar surface is also rougher than the normal Leopold spacebar.  Almost like stucco versus vinyl siding. =(

I think your French needs work.

Also, it's a given that there will always be someone interested in anything at GH< I think they've gaged the non GH interest to be too low for production.
