Damn, can any ducky/filco/signature plastic group buy owner here help me to measure the stem to stem length of the spacebar?

Cause after I dig out all my spacebar (mostly by kbc, vortex and ikbc), I realise that actually most of the spacebar stem to stem length is actually 9.9cm (sharp), while the latest white doubleshot pbt one is actually 10cm (sharp).

Oh my... I guess it's the new recommended. Wow... BTW, why tWice miss-leaded?

He came to this thread after abang kyrmian suggest that his keycool backlit (confirmed to be gen 1) is using non standard spacebar.

So we all had assumed it to be so and avoid suggesting keycool 87II (gen 2) since then.

Vortex Poker ONI is TKL.
Any experience here?
Are the key caps standards especially the space bar. Standard?
*
Poker = standard
ONI = not standard (from what other forumers had experienced)

Yup, a bit not standard. So it's not standard for me. I'm sure about 1mm. I'm not sure if others having similar problem.
*
To avoid problem like Keycool 87II misleading t occur again, I will suggest that we measure it quantitatively with ruler.

BlizzardCraft, can help us to measure the stem and stabiliser spacing of the ONI?

Dat moment when you changed the whole set (86keys for TKL, 103 keys for fullsize) of keycaps, remaining a odd colored old spacebar...

OK guys, after the spacebar analysis I done just now, here are my findings.

1. Most 6.25x spacebar (by kbc, keycool, plum and vortex) stem spacing is 9.9cm, but their actual length (length of spacebar) may actually +/- around 1mm.
2. The white spacebar from ikbc/vortex ds pbt is actually having a 10cm spacing instead of the popular 9.9mm.
3. The Cherry stabiliser spacing on F-104 is actually 10cm, but the stem is actually not locked in and still had some space allow for movement, hence explain the compatibility of 9.9cm spacing and 10cm spacing spacebar.
4. The previously rumored spacebar incompatibility of Keycool87II should be a myth, the spacebar should actually compatible.

Now, anyone with poker/ducky(zero and non-zero)/filco mind help me measure the stabiliser and stem spacing of their spacebar?

sorry if i didnt not update first post.
last time the guy already said it is the keycaps problem.
I personally tested. I tried four spacebars on ONI they seems no issues.
*
Dafuq, tonight so many myth busted... rclxub.gif

1. Keycool87II spacebar is actually standard.
2. KBT ONI spacebar also standard.

how many spacebars you tried ?
when I tried them, i try to press very hard and they went it.
after when it there is no problem with normal typing though.
I cant guarantee 100%.
But it is not really a major problem. While I still can fit in others.
Just that not very smooth.
*
Abang 016 got how many 6.25x spacebar and also keyboard around? Mind measure it and share here?

Cause from what I found out just now, most spacing is actually 9.9cm, while the stem spacing of F-104 is actually 10cm.

So I hope to get more input, especially from those taiwan made board like Rosewill/Filco/Ducky/CM.

yup, I've asked around about the Filco Ninja Red TKL. If I can't get the WASD V2, I'll probably get that. Still looking around for cheaper alternative.

If what you want is the filco type of look, Noppoo got Choc Mid that look exactly the same.

the stem mid to mid, about 9.9 - 10 cm
probably classified as the 1st case
*
Which stem? Stabiliser stem or spacebar stem?

Also, please take the exact figure, closer to 9.9 then is 9.9, almost 10 then is 10. Thx.

im using the ducky g9008g2/pro. keycaps is the side printed abs from ducky. the spacebar stem spacing is weirdly 9.95cm-ish.  shocking.gif not accurate lah.

You mean the spacebar keycap stem spacing is 9.95ish? How about the stabiliser stem spacing on the keyboard?

Human10, are you compiling these somewhere? Good stuff. Will be a shame if it got buried in these thread.

Actually, what's the most important here is the stabiliser spacing on each keyboard.

From all the input till now, I think the norm of standard stabiliser spacing is 9.9ish to 10cm.
