Need a Spacebar for an IOne M10 Scorpius

[evanjobrien]

Last night I was taking my keys off so that I could clean my keyboard out when I applied just a little too much force on pulling the spacebar out, resulting in one on the the little clasps that holds the stabilizing bar in place. As such the spacebar is no longer balanced.

I looked around but so far have been unable to find anything that for sure would work, so I figured I would ask here. Does anyone know of a vendor that stocks a spacebar that will fit my particular keyboard?

Thanks in advance.

Hello and welcome to geekhack!

Do you mean the insert for the stabilizer? I don't know if Ione uses costar-style stabilizers, or cherry stabilizers, but this sholud work if it's costar:

I don't have an M10 to verify, though.

The little plastic arm in the forefront is the unbroken one. The other one is the one that I snapped. The stabilizing bar's two little hook sides sit in those.

Everything on the actual keyboard is fine, it's just the keycap that is hosed.

Those are costar style stabilizer.

Excellent! I didn't realize you could take those things off.

What I ended up doing is just pulling one of them off the 0 numpad key and replacing it with that. 0 still works great and the spacebar works like new again.

Thanks for the help guys!
