Guys, I m getting some spacebar for my Realforce,
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.

Nope.  brows.gif
So original get shiny then you want to change..  laugh.gif
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. sad.gif
*
If you can make custom one la, saw out the stem of it,
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…

I actually use scotch tape and tape the surface of hhkb spacebar.  laugh.gif
My hhkb spacebar is white, so, finding replacement is hard.
If got free time then change the scotch tape. brows.gif

Haha, white spacebar is still available if you get a whole 60keys set,
The gray spacebar is impossible to find a replacement…

got to using a black one on the RF 10th anniversary doh.gif

You use scotch tape and tape it, then you can continue to use your grey spacebar.
Here some examples of scotch tape on topre spacebar..  nod.gif

I think better for you use the original RF 10th anniversary, at least looks good on your keyboard.

The spacebar with 3M tape is not anywhere near "looking good" IMO. doh.gif

Btw, Did you put the spacebar upside down on the Leopold? That's a 660C or 660M?

Spray paint too much work for just one key.

Besides, the texture after spray paint also not nice and will wear  out easily.
*
the paint wouldn't stay long on the key,
so you have to spray again and again.....
that is gonna cause uneven surface.

The thinner in the spray paint maybe will harm the ABS key also?

You can use normal transparent scotch tape. Looks good also.
At least better than black spacebar..  sweat.gif

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.

That RF 10th anniversary is yours or internet photo?? sweat.gif

Normal transparent scotch tape will make a slippery key surface no?

as for lack of a better term: "more better typing experience",

I shall now try to put the spacebar key in reverse position...

Attached Image

I've sense the different when typing, difficult to tell if it is better or worse...
lets see after one week...

IIRC, if there's acetone it'll harm the ABS keycaps.

Mine hasn't started shining yet, so I don't really have anything to worry for, although I'm just paranoidly stocking up just in-case disaster happens and I notice the shine :|

U wanna get a spare one? share shipping with me smile.gif

Somehow if you only use single layer of scotch tape, then the surface is smooth, not until slippery.
Then you can add another layer of tape that different like perforated etc.
This is just a poor man spacebar. nod.gif
I will not get another hhkb keycaps set just for the white spacebar of hhkb, so, I'm still ok with the tape. sweat.gif

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. smile.gif
*
Although I like the texture of the 3M matte surface tape,
I just can't stand sticking something on top of key(s) doh.gif
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 tongue.gif

Still I have no choice  laugh.gif
Because I will make my abs keycaps shinny in very short time. >15hours typing per day on hhkb.  nod.gif
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. sweat.gif

Does the tape become shiny tongue.gif


Maybe someday they will make a different colors spacebar doh.gif
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 tongue.gif if that work, I can sell you a white one if I success. tongue.gif

Really don't know will shiny or not. Haha. But can change the tape, so don't worry.
Topre already ceased production of their keycaps. laugh.gif
Maybe you glue the stem it on OEM pbt cherry switch spacebar.  icon_idea.gif

The HHKB white is not really white. It's white beige, but lighter color than Filco white beige.  sweat.gif

So, maybe we wait for topre-to-MX Cherry stem.  smile.gif

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...... doh.gif
didn't I make myself clear in the previous posts? or my English is really that broken?

Don't be so particular la doh.gif little different colors wouldn't harm......
your Fn key is in different color anyway tongue.gif


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. doh.gif
