Space bars for Filco MINILA
« on: Thu, 22 May 2014, 12:52:40 »
I have a Filco MINILA and the space bar is just half a key wider (3x?) than a normal shift key on an ANSI layout keyboard. Do you know where to get your hands on either key cap sets for the MINILA or at least different space bar caps?

The spacebar on the miniLA is in fact 3x. You can buy a 3x keycap (and all the other keycaps you need for a miniLA set for that matter) from SP's inventory.

AFAIK you're limited to DSA, though.

Hmm, OK. Thanks. That complicates things a bit with the MINILA :-D

Yeah. I want a custom set for mine, but the effort is too much for me.

keep in mind that the sp 3x key will be CONCAVE not convex like a regular spacebar.

if you did find one that's convex, please post a link :)

There is a GMK DOLCH GB on Deskthority right now which comes with all the special keys for MINILA, but I don't really want an entire set to get a space bar :-/

I mean, you could also just go full dolch on your miniLa

that always looks good.

Why do you want just a spacebar? Even if you find one it'll likely be a different profile from the stock keycaps.
