Does a stock Filco have a 7 unit space bar or 6.2?
« on: Wed, 12 September 2012, 15:12:29 »
I'm about to order a space bar and need to know if the Filco uses a 7 unit or 6.2...

NP, usually the 7 unit space bars are seen on winkeyless boards.

Edit: Also, make sure the stem placement matches.

This was for overrun on the cream cheese and green group buy. I wanted to get a couple of extra space bars and a few other keys just in case they start showing wear. They've only got two kinds of space bars that came from the group buy, the 6.2 unit and 7 unit space bar. So hopefully the stem placement for the space bar is correct... I've already sent payment.

Is the 6.2 and 6.25 unit space bars the same or different? I notced on Keycaps Direct that they only show 6.2 and 7.0 unit space bars. I sent an email the other day but no response yet.

I am pretty sure "6.2 unit" spacebars are actually all 6.25 units. I'm sure you won't notice the extra 0.03 units difference. That's like 0.57 mm.

They probably just truncated the 5 off the end. keycapsdirect is SP (Signatureplastics) and their spacebars work.
