QUOTE(kaysa @ May 1 2014, 01:55 PM) Guys, I m getting some spacebar for my Realforce, Why you want to get a new spacebar? Current 1 broken in half ? if any one wanna share shipping let me know, the price for each Spacebar is $USD4.50, shipping is about $USD10. Sadly it is like the original one, which is made of ABS, not PBT…. and only available in Black, made in Japan thou. https://www.elitekeyboards.com/products.php...d=tspacebar_blk if no one wanna share, I will get it myself. Ya, original HHKB/Topre 6x spacebar is abs. This post has been edited by quovadis123: May 1 2014, 02:49 PM |

QUOTE(kaysa @ May 1 2014, 03:39 PM) Just wanna switch it out, the original one is a bit shiny in the edge. Nope. Might get another spare one... So original get shiny then you want to change.. But, even you get another one, will get shiny too, right? Since the material of the spacebar is abs. Unless there are pbt spacebar for topre. |

QUOTE(kaysa @ May 1 2014, 04:48 PM) If you can make custom one la, saw out the stem of it, I actually use scotch tape and tape the surface of hhkb spacebar. and then glue it to a PBT spacebar with epoxy, I think I saw someone do that mod on spacebar before, not sure I was it in geekhack or some china forum... maybe that can work. if I were to do that, I might use it on POM key… My hhkb spacebar is white, so, finding replacement is hard. If got free time then change the scotch tape. |

QUOTE(kaysa @ May 1 2014, 09:06 PM) The spacebar with 3M tape is not anywhere near "looking good" IMO. You can use normal transparent scotch tape. Looks good also.Btw, Did you put the spacebar upside down on the Leopold? That's a 660C or 660M? At least better than black spacebar.. The leopold keyboard is not mine, just take from internet. That is Leopold FC660C using green blank keycaps. The spacebar is put reverse mount (or in other term, upside down for more better typing experience). Below picture only is my keyboard. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « |

QUOTE(kaysa @ May 1 2014, 10:20 PM) Normal transparent scotch tape will make a slippery key surface no? Somehow if you only use single layer of scotch tape, then the surface is smooth, not until slippery.as for lack of a better term: "more better typing experience", I shall now try to put the spacebar key in reverse position... [attachmentid=3953427] I've sense the different when typing, difficult to tell if it is better or worse... lets see after one week... U wanna get a spare one? sharing shipping with me Then you can add another layer of tape that different like perforated etc. This is just a poor man spacebar. I will not get another hhkb keycaps set just for the white spacebar of hhkb, so, I'm still ok with the tape. You should try it first if you like the scotch tape on the spacebar or not? Or you can use transparent duct-tape which has woven surface better for grip. |

QUOTE(kaysa @ May 1 2014, 10:52 PM) Although I like the texture of the 3M matte surface tape, Still I have no choice I just can't stand sticking something on top of key(s) It kinda feel like bandage on a wound, but I don't mind mix using different colors of keys, see my board there, the keys are varied in colors anyway Because I will make my abs keycaps shinny in very short time. >15hours typing per day on hhkb. That's why is poor man spacebar as I claimed just now. Btw, I just accept the fact that topre whole keycaps set are pbt except the spacebar. |

QUOTE(kaysa @ May 1 2014, 11:00 PM) Does the tape become shiny Really don't know will shiny or not. Haha. But can change the tape, so don't worry.Maybe someday they will make a different colors spacebar But I hope they make spacebar made of PBT... I will try to get a few extra Topre spacebar, and try to cut the stems out to glue them into a PBT spacebar ... See if it work Topre already ceased production of their keycaps. Maybe you glue the stem it on OEM pbt cherry switch spacebar. The HHKB white is not really white. It's white beige, but lighter color than Filco white beige. So, maybe we wait for topre-to-MX Cherry stem. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « This post has been edited by quovadis123: May 1 2014, 11:08 PM |

QUOTE(kaysa @ May 1 2014, 11:53 PM) My original idea is to cut the stem from Topre spacebar and glue the stems on OEM PBT Cherry Spacebar with the cherry stem cut away...... Yup, stop production. didn't I make myself clear in the previous posts? or my English is really that broken? Don't be so particular la your Fn key is in different color anyway What? stop production??? Does it mean if our keys broken we are screwed? but come to think of it, it probably won't have any problem until the whole keyboard is broken except the spacebar that is. Currently, you still can buy the left-over replacement keycap sets in the market. We still do not know the future. |

QUOTE(dadudeneverabides @ May 2 2014, 07:36 PM) Not really... I plan to type out my short stories using the dvorak keyboard... trial by fire. So should adjust quickly... QUOTE(combataran @ May 2 2014, 08:46 PM) I'm learning Dvorak right now. It would seem that it's less tiring on the hands compared to QWERTY. For me that it. But the tactile bump on my RF is messing up my speed. Have to bottom out every single time, it's annoying. It sounds amazing though, like breaking chocolate pieces. Looks like dvorak layout is popular, more and more people want to try this layout. You guys will notice that when you typing using dvorak layout, your fingers will stay on the home row most of the time. So, this layout famous with touch typing. So, other layout users out there want to comment? |
