Leopold 200R White-White spacebar

[SUPER432]

Apologies in advance - I swear I tried to search!

I bought a blank set of white keycaps from WASD (it's a brilliant white, not beige/off-white-ish like the original keycaps). Love it - except the spacebar doesn't fit, which I knew in advance.

Anyone have pointers as to where I can acquire a spacebar in this color to fit my 200R? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Whats wrong with the spacebar?

[Pacifist]

what size is it?

fc200r has universal spacebar, i think EK sellings

Sorry, some pics would probably help.

The spacebar on the keyboard is original from Leopold. The extra is from the WASD set. They're also different colors - WASD a very bright white, and Leopold a beige/offwhite.

As you can see from the second pic, the stabilizer markups don't match. Does anyone sell a spacebar that would fit my 200R in the same white as the WASD one?

Much appreciated for the fast responses guys!

maybe you should paint it

[SUPER432]

Mmm yeah no paint, don't want black, specifically asking if anyone knows if there's a white-white spacebar to fit the 200R. Doesn't seem to exist unfortunately!

Would love for someone to please me wrong.

Keycool also used same stem spacing as Leopold initially. I have seen separate spacebar available for them on taobao in the past. Keycool white is also brighter, but I am not sure it will be exact match.

Man, thanks! Now to see if I can get my hands on one.

I was able to adapt a Banggood PBT spacebar to put on my Leopold FC200R using a mod that is mentioned briefly in a few threads (and also in Ripster's image guide). Using an x-acto knife, I isolated the stem from two spare QFR keycaps. I then sanded down the original stems inside the spacebar. I placed the isolated QFR stems on the cherry stabilizers, flattened a sizeable ball of epoxy putty on each sanded area of the spacebar, and pressed the spacebar onto the stems, adjusting until the spacebar was flat. I'm not sure that the mod will hold if I try to remove the spacebar but it works! It is, however, time intensive so I would not do it again but I'm glad this fix exists.

EDIT: And AFAIK, the Banggood keycaps are Keycool keycaps. The spacebar is "universal", as in it has 4 stems, but none of them fit Leopold FC200.

You should check if the stems in this spacebar fit your board. It is 7 bucks shipped. And it also comes in white only  .

Good info, thanks!

Sorry about that pal. I hope you find it.

I have a KeyCool 87, the space bar has the two extra universal stems on either side, but only one centre stem that is compatible with Filco, Ducky etc.
