Looking for a Space Bar. Quickfire TK.
« on: Mon, 15 April 2013, 04:45:24 »
Hello Geek Hack,

I have a quickfire tk, and am wondering if it's possible to get a space bar for these? I believe the sizing is 6.5 but don't quote me on that please  ;D

I can confirm that it appears to be 6.5x,  based on doing a few quick calculations.

Well, I'm afraid that I don't know about any 6.5x spacebars. Only 6x, 6.25x and 7x. If you need a scapegoat, go blame CoolerMaster's OEM that makes this one.

Firstly, thanks for the clarification. Secondly, I will blame the OEM :D

I guess my options are too leave the space bar as is if I replace the keys then.

You'll also have to buy some extra stuff.

Bottom row looks like:

1.5x, 1x, 1.25x, 6.5x, 1.25x, 1x, 1x, 1.5x,

You have to buy at least a tsangan and mods if you get custom caps.

Yep, 6.5x is correct. In regards to the modifier keys, thankfully the group buy's on here seem to be doing more and more of alternate keys for the bottom row :)

Just curious if anyone had any luck using a 6.25x or a 6.0x and having slight gaps at the side (I know the stabilisers would need to be in the same place, but its a possibility!)

And i'm also english, so have the ISO layout one, even more additions required!

Owh well, it's a nice keyboard.

I'm also looking for a spacebar for a Quickfire TK...Preferably white/gray/beige/aluminum. Anyone have any luck?

There's literally only like 2 or 3 keyboards that use a 6.5 space, chances of anyone making aftermarket ones is pretty much zero.
It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.
