Cherry 7 Space has a centered stem
Cherry 6.25 Space has an off centered stem (cannot fit on Filco, Ducky, CM etc).
Yes you will be able to make Cherry compatible Phantoms if you build it the right way.
I thought Filco used 6.26 Space?
Filco, etc. use a standard 6.25-unit spacebar with a centered stem. Cherry 6.25-unit spacebars have an off-centered center stem, thus making them incompatible with "modern" keyboards.
I thought the Cherry was just reference to the profile.
I ordered two aluminum spacebars from feng here:
http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=38703.0I ordered the cherry 6.25, did I order the wrong part? I want to put these on my Filco and Ducky that both use the same SB.
I also want an aluminum SB to fit the phantom that I'm building. Which one should I buy for this? In the interest check, I think I ordered the first two plates.
Which plate should I order if I want to be able to put standard keys on it? I'm not against custom layouts, and I think it would be cool. I just want to be able to put keycaps on my keyboarrd.
For all you guys that are making non standard layouts, where do you plan on getting keys for your boards? the only small SB I've seen is on the Leopold 700.
Thanks
